Let's get this out of the way: The Hammerstein Ballroom is a large way for spectacles. Some of the best shows I've seen in New York have been there, and all of them-Pulp, Kraftwerk, the Flaming Lips-have had a layer of showmanship about them that has been heightened by the room's deceptive intimacy and full sound.
