6 Best Concert Halls & Ampitheaters for Rap Acoustics Posted at 12/10/2012 02:44:00 AM 0 comments (+) Rap is a challenging genre of music for a live performance. Rapping the lyrics produces a smaller sound range than singing does. Thus, the challenge is in obtaining a musical balance to lyrics perfect for the greatest concert experience. Fortunately, an outdoor venue makes this job easier. So, here is a list of the best concert halls and amphitheaters for rap music.

Red Rocks Amphitheater


The Red Rocks Amphitheater in Morrison, Colorado is consistently ranked in the top for its acoustics. The sound waves of rap music are free to travel directly from the performers to the audience. This gives you a clear and balanced sound so that you can hear the words as well as the beat. Add in the red rocks of the Rocky Mountains and the experience will be unforgettable.

The Hollywood Bowl


The Hollywood Bowl uses both the outdoors and an advanced sound system to perfect its acoustics. The sound engineers are constantly devising new ways to improve the sound quality and experience. This continuing search for perfection means better rap concerts. It is also one of the most famous outdoor theaters and one of the most recognizable ones.

The Gorge Amphitheater


The Gorge amphitheater in George, Washington has the advantage of the Columbia River for its setting. But what makes this amphitheater truly amazing is the natural formation of the rock. It is as if nature intended for that spot to become a rap music venue. So, if you are looking forward to a rap concert with Wiz Khalifa tickets, this natural configuration will complement their sound.

The Greek Theater


The Greek Theater in Berkley, California is part of the University of California college. What makes this theater so great is that it incorporates Grecian design. The Greeks discovered a design that allowed everyone to hear the voices on the stage without artificial amplification. Even though a sound system is now used, the Grecian design still offers up some of the best rap sounds.

The Shoreline Amphitheater


The Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View, California got its unique design from a song played by the Grateful Dead. In spite of this, the huge tent and protected lawn gives this venue quality sound. Since then, it has become a favored venue for many artists to feature their live albums.

Alpine Valley Music Theatre


The Alpine Valley Music Theatre is in East Troy, Wisconsin. It's most unique feature is the wooden roof. Another advantage to this theatre is the location. Rap music fans from three states can easily access this theatre. There is nothing to block the view or the sound. Fans sit on the ground and non-assigned seats making it easier to move with the beat.

These are some of the best outdoor places to catch a rap concert. The acoustics in these halls and amphitheaters give rap fans a concert sound experience that they will never forget.
