Tajai of the Souls of Mischief hip-hop crew summed up the attractions of the Windy City's HOB franchise best: "Love the way the fans stack upwards. Sound is always on point and the attached hotel is clean and convenient." For touring artists, that's the trifecta: a lively audience ("stacked," as Tajai puts it, in multiple balconies, meaning performers face a three-story wall of fans), good sound and a comfortable place to crash nearby after the show. (Pictured here: legendary African singer Youssou N'Dour.)
