Vivid Music Hall — Local services in Gainesville

Pretty cool place! Emo night was interesting! I really thought people were going to put on their best outfits from back in the day and lol maybe like 10 people out of the whole crowd. I also expected more out of Emo music but it was giving pop (aka Taylor swift) goes slightly screamy. I don’t get it lol.

The drinks were a little pricey, but definitely reasonable, and I would say average priced for a concert venue. There was plenty of space, and the sound quality was decent. I would definitely come to other events at this location...

It was cold as all git out! Went to see comedian Shuler Ki g. Mr. King was great. I laughed so hard my stomach hurt. Now let me say...this is Florida and this was at the end of the cold wave. I know heat in a venue like this is not an option. The chairs were flimsy. Made for 1st graders. We kept waiting for them to break under someone, but they didn't.
