  1. They don\'t allow shows to be recorded.
  2. The management has been uncooperative, rude and unprofessional on many occasions.
  3. The light system consists of 4 cans
  4. Takes 15 minutes to get a beer(understaffed)
  
  A change in management would do this place good. but when you have a monopoly over the every act coming to Northampton, they can do what they want.
  
  I am going to this show to support the breakfast. Even with all this venue bashing and past negativity, it\'s still going to be a great time!

• there are 10 iron horse shows on archive. is this a new development?
  
  never had a problem with management.
  
  my eyes are closed most of every show i go to anyway.
  
  never had a problem getting a beer promptly.
  
  guess that\'s why i\'ll probably be there on friday. i\'d rather see a show here than a toad\'s place any day of the week

• Considering this but have booked a flight to N.C. to see Walsh in May so I might not be in NoHo.

  These are just my personal experience. I am glad your experiences have been different.  I am going Friday with an open mind and an adjustment in my attitude and things will be fine.

  If people are not going to a shows b/c they know it will be recored, that\'s just a shame. The recordings are for the fans that can\'t make it for what ever reason, especially the people that live far away.  It\'s a great way for everyone to be connected to the music and keep the interest alive.
      Also, I am excited the band is finally going to selling high quality live shows. I think, this is equally important for their economic success.  It\'s all about finding the right balance to make the breakfast profitable.  It\'s nice to see this effort.
