He is in Illinois often. We go to the small venues with good sound...usually repurposed movie theaters or opera houses. The Arcada is one of the best Venues in Illinois. The owner of the Arcada also had a place called Rock and Ravioli. It was a really small venue but well done. We saw George at both venues a few times. The best show was probably at Tailgaters in Bollingbrook. THe early Lynch Mob band with double neck shredder Michael Angelo Batio...That guy is wicked on the Dean V double neck. It might be a tie...Lynch mob and Steelheart at Mables in Champaign rocked!
