Today’s evidence: [the] announcement of a free show April 25 by Rusted Root. A lot of people have bashed Jannus Live, even though it barely opened a couple of weeks ago. But once everyone sees it, the consensus seems to be that it’s a winner. —Jay Cridlin, tbt*/St. Petersburg Times – Read Full Article»

Daly, you’re always welcome down JL way:

“Before the Fiddy Cent show a couple of weeks ago, Jannus Live’s Eric Snider gave me a tour of the rebooted venue. With the steroidal stage, sleek bars and celeb-stuffed VIP area where I plan on loitering “off the clock” — Hello, Jen Holloway, fancy meeting you here. Have you met my friend Gary Sheffield? — the joint offers hot bragging rights for downtown St. Petersburg. Capacity could grow to 2,000, which should help lure a slew of hot acts. I’ve been to a ton of concert clubs all over the country, but let me tell you, boys and girls, Jannus Live is special.”

Here they are:

READERS POLL:

BEST SMALL CONCERT VENUE

Jannus Live

Runners-up: Skipper’s Smokehouse, State Theatre, The Hideaway Café, Crowbar

CRITICS PICK:

BEST BACK IN THE SADDLE

Jannus Live (formerly Jannus Landing)

The public freaked a little when local businessman Jeff Knight revealed the changes he planned for Jannus Landing and its surrounding properties. But when the venue re-opened as Jannus Live, the end result laid most fears to rest. Even though it wasn’t the same seedy Jannus everyone remembered, the inherent magical, under-the-sky vibe was still intact, the renovations improving upon an already fabulous venue. The most noticeable upgrades (aside from the luxury suites) included the removal of the old “circus tent” with its sight-obstructing poles, which opened up the courtyard and made it feel more spacious; a Plexiglas-covered (now Koi-free) pond situated where the deck used to be that gives the place a Saturday Night Fever dance-floor-after-dark kind of ambiance; and a full set of air-conditioned men’s and women’s bathrooms to replace the crude Port-O-Johns and disgusting piss trough. With a beefed-up schedule that includes dates by Vampire Weekend, Flaming Lips and The Script, Jannus is well on its way to recapturing its former glory as one of the Bay area’s best concert venues. 16 Second St. N., St. Petersburg, 727-565-0551, jannuslive.com
