lol. I do think they've renovated it since last tour (since the last time I've seen a show there). But yeah, that place is terrible and kind of sucks that it's become the goto metal venue in Mass. It does seem a lot of metal bands have started to branch out to places like The Middle East, The Sinclair, and the House of Blues, though. I have seen Symphony X at The Middle East a few times.
If they've actually put decent money into the renovation, it could be a really cool venue, though.
