What People Are Saying About The Fillmore New York at Irving Plaza

In Short
The venue formerly known as Irving Plaza has inherited the name and a bit of the style from the Northwest's historic classic rock club. Vintage concert posters and photos of Irving's past performers--from Willie Nelson to Marilyn Manson--have been hung on the walls, though the red wallpaper and exotic tinges still lend a boudoir-ish feel. Sound-wise, this is one of the best mid-sized venues in the city--that goes for the high-grade stage lighting, too--making it a great place to check out popular artists before they graduate to the arenas.

Security is rude and unprofessional. They would throw you out if they spot you taking videos with your camera. Would yell at you and not let you say a word as if you stole something. If only you do that then it's your problem. However, whenever I'm at this place, I see the whole crowd at the stage (and some other spots) gloving with their cameras. And nothing would happen to them. They would tape the whole show and go home. For this reason, I don't understand their "selective" policy - if you don't allow people taking videos, then throw every person out who's doing this. I think that the people who run 'Irving' should take this factor into consideration if they want those who come to see the show to enjoy the venue. Nevertheless, the place is nice and the sound is good comparatively to other venues of this type .

I saw Saosin perfom here recently and was surprisingly impressed. The crowd wasn't a bunch of teeny-boppers trying to be in the "punk rock" scene, and the floor was just big enough so that even if you were in the back of the venue, you could still see the band very well. Good place to see bands play.. i'll be back for sure.
