Band: Fantastic set, great energy, took me on a journey through space.
Crowd: Totally into the vibe, lots of dancing, even more vocal appreciation/applause.
Venue: Beer is expensive. Food is outrageous considering it's prepared in advance and hot held. Sightlines and sound quality are **superb**.
Seats: No pre-assigned seats. You just sit wherever there is space at a table. The wait staff will move you along if you try to leave a gap between you and whoever else is sat there. This is all very well as long as you don't end up sitting with your back to the stage. Sitting down in BB Kings commits you to a minimum $10 spend. Their draft beer (own-branded but made by Magic Hat of Vermont, so decent) is $7 for a pint, so it's not hard to make the minimum.

Opening act(s): Reality Engine. Heavy, psychedelic techno which started off monotonous but then introduced more and more until it blissed out, then deconstructed and started the buildup again. Enjoyed them. @
