Warehouse Live is closing Dec 3. All operations are moving to Rise Rooftop, which will be rebranded as Warehouse Live.
The entrance is moving to McGowan St, with an elevator so my bud Raul can come to a show. 

Rise will shut down for 2 weeks to do the major reconstruction of the interior, this happens after the Dec 16 show.

Any idea if anything will replace warehouse live in eado? Quite a big space to fill.

I doubt if anything can go into that space. The City turned Walker St into a bike lane, that's the load-in area. The owner of the parking lot behind the building has asserted his rights to 8' of the driveway behind the building, that's where the band gear goes in the building.

"Warehouse Live — a live music venue that anchored nightlife in the EaDo area before it was known as EaDo — will close its doors after its Dec. 2 Tribute Fest concert, which will feature 10 tribute bands on two stages.

Also shuttering next month will be the more recently opened Rise Rooftop in Midtown. The last show at Rise Rooftop — which opened on New Year's Eve 2021 — will be Dec. 17.

That space at 2600 Travis will undergo renovations and on Dec. 29, the rebranded Warehouse Live Midtown will open in the Rise Rooftop location with a performance by Sullivan King.

An official "grand reopening celebration" will be held with a Cash Cash performance on Dec. 31. The Rise Rooftop/Warehouse Live Midtown space is described by Big City Entertainment LP as "a unique multi-use concept" with 15,000 square feet and a retractable roof."

Warehouse EaDo is gone. Bye.
The last show was a benefit for one of the security guys, opened and hosted by me.

My favorite show there was Rick Astley in the Ballsroom, and Puddles Pity Party in the Studio. On the Puddles show, I was running all over town fixing other people's screwups when I got a call saying the guy at Warehouse couldn't make Puddles's video screen work right, so off I went. I spent an hour fixing it, and chatting with a guy who was almost 7 feet tall. It was Big Mike, aka Puddles. During the show, he never said a word, he just sang. He would grab people from the audience, bring them onstage, and sing to them, then kick them offstage.  He came out to the crowd, grabbed me, dragged me onstage, and right before he kicked me off the stage, he whispered "you rock" into my ear.

 

the dumbest show was Drake. I babysat the venue for 3 days while they brought in a set that was a recreation of DJ Screw's storefront. They figured out the set they made was too tall, so they took it back outside and chopped a foot off of it.
