If it's good enough for Al Jolson, it's good enough for the Grateful Dead: San Francisco's Warfield Theatre began as a vaudeville stage (where Jolson and his ilk performed) and, on its off nights, a silent movie palace where it was possible to gaze at gold leaf while munching on popcorn.

These days, the Warfield carries on as an all-ages concert venue hosting everyone from Fiona Apple to Coheed and Cambria. (In 2001 Slayer stormed the theater to film the concert video War at the Warfield.) Stand down in the pit or buy reserved seats in the balcony, which gives you a better view of the Victorian murals that frame the stage.
