Bummer about Plaza III - we went there when we lived in KC. Nice spot.
My vote goes to the Dakota in Minneapolis. Great venue and good food, the Dakota is just a very comfortable place to enjoy live music.
We've seen Hugh Masakela, Shawn Colvin, Dan Hicks, The Bad Plus, Pinetop Perkins, Firefall, Nachito Herrera (a local favorite).
Prince has played here, Dave Brubeck, McCoy Tyner, Stanley Clarke, Bela Fleck, Cowboy Junkies, Bob Mould, Preservation Hall Jazz Band, John McLaughlin....the list goes on. I think their success is due in part to the eclectic mix of genres and the overall high quality of the performers they bring in.
