I've always been a vocal fan of The Tabernacle , so I'm always happy to see others outside of Atlanta take note of its uniqueness and cool vibe.

USA Today has shared a list of the 10 favorite venues of John Huber, chief operations officer for Moo Creative Media, which creates concert visual displays for artists such as OneRepublic and Brad Paisley.

Granted, that isn't as prestigious as, say, Rolling Stone naming your venue among its top large clubs and theaters (The Fox Theatre and The Tabernacle made that list).

But, as you’ll see, Huber, who spends plenty of time in concert venues around the country, has put The Tabernacle among some good company.

Of the venue he said, "It's a phenomenal sounding, very good-looking room. We all end up in Atlanta sometime, and when you're there, you should catch a show."

Here is his Top 10 list.

And is it time to ask the question again of which Atlanta venue gives you the best overall concert experience? If you have a favorite, share with us below.
