The floor at the Cap was WAY too packed when I saw Phil and friends there, It's not really any nicer than the Tower and the neighborhood aint exactly "country club" land. I was not too impressed, the only positive was very close train service and very minor police presence. The smoking area was rather small. I wouldn't go back without balcony seats.

You Coloradans really do have it good! If you had more water out there, I'd move in a heartbeat!! I'm going to start praying to the Red Rocks gods for a September show the minute the last note of the Broomfield run has ended. I think I'd rather head out there again than try and tackle New York.

oh I forgot, you have to take steps down to the basement to use the mens room, missing the music completely, the floor was literally covered in piss from the 50 year old trough style urinals overflowing, didn't notice any private bathrooms

The bathrooms are down from the floor but they aren't troughs. They are real urinals but they are built for really really skinny people. Its very difficult to get into position when there are people on either side of you. They are ridiculous.


The place itself is very cool but the I also found the slope of the floor hurts my back after several days of shows...

I'm going to presume you mean the city, and not the state. They better play some upstate shows this summer.

You guys gotta know what you're doing at the Cap....downstairs bathrooms?? Why would you ever choose that route when you can walk off the floor, catch a breather and a cold one at the attached bar, clearly hear the show, watch the band on large hd tv's and then use a private bath where you can partake in any party favors you'd like? Sometimes it pays to walk into a venue a bit early and scope the situation out. As far as the floor being too packed....I was at every Phil and Friends show and was surprised how unpacked it was. Funny how two people at the same show can get two totally different takes...

The only time I used the bathrooms was on the way in and on the way out and the bathroom at the back of the floor is down some stairs. I did see the bar with video etc but I dont normally leave the floor until the end of the show. I thought the Cap was excellent in general. You could partake of party flavors on the floor with no problem. I would agree that the floor was way too packed though, and I was also at every show.

I would bet everyone who was at the show would have a different take

while i was not there for any of the shows, you are definitely the first person i have heard say that they thought it was not crowded. everybody i spoke with had something to say about the lack of room inside the venue.

the more reviews i hear about this place, the less inclined i am to want to see furthur there.

^^^The Ogden will be packed and crowded. If Cornmeal can pack that place I can't even imagine what the Furthur crowd will be like.
