The other problem with Chastain is the sound ordinance.  As the venue is in
a whoopty doo neighborhood, they can not turn the volume up past a certain
point and they can not leave the venue open past a certain point.  When I
saw Alan Parsons open for Yes there the sound was just too low to be a rock
show.  Given I was sitting behind the soundboard area, so I missed an
optimal seating but it just felt lacking.  At one point in the middle of the
Yes show, Jon screamed to the audience "You want it Louder?" at which point
some little guy from the side stage ran out and whispered something in his
ear.  Jon went on to say "You can't have it louder, there is a gentleman
over on the hill there who is trying to sleep" or something to that effect.
Still if you are telling me that I could be seeing Adrian Belew, Bela Fleck,
and Umphreys all on the same evening that could be worth while to try again.

  Trust me, you would enjoy Adrian Belew as well. I saw him recently at
The Melting Point in Athens. A great venue and a great concert. He had Mike
Hodges with him on drums and Mike Gallagher on bass. Both excellent. The
problem with Chastain? I've never been there but I've heard reports of
people having loud conversations and talk-
ing on cell phones, totally oblivious to the concert and those who
actually went to hear the performers.

Steve
