It looks magnificent and you can squeeze 500 or so punters into the main hall. Unfortunately, the very magnificence of the architecture just does not allow for the sort of acoustic needed here. John Murry, opening for Cowboy Junkies, suffered horribly, his grunge-laden tunes sinking, almost without trace, into a sort of auditory soup.
