Abstract
As pop and rock evolved during the 1950s, 60s, and 70s dedicated venues for this music were built. Buildings formerly used for other purposes such as cinema or factories found new life accommodating live, amplified dance music, from bars and clubs for a few hundred people to actual music halls for more than a thousand people at the other end of the scale. And up through the 1990s and 2000s sports arenas have also been used to house some of the most popular pop stars, and therefore there has been an improved focus on the acoustics of these venues with regard to amplified music.
