Haven't been to the front room at the Paradise. I haven't been to the
Paradise in some time, actually. Last time I was there they still had
the big room and the Eurodisco dance club.
TT's is fine, but very uncomfortable, and with a lot of places in the club
where you can't even see the band. And I can't recall seeing a show there
where I wasn't dissatisfied with the sound.
For that matter, the Middle East downstairs is OK, but cavernous.
