I don't think the Palace on 8th is a reasonable request for people on 17th ave to consider. Too far of a detour. There definitely should be a venue capable of concerts on 17th ave at that kind of capacity. And for the record I don't consider the Ship as a concert venue - it's a bar that crams in bands.
Edmonton just re-opened the Roxy Theatre on 124th street. Even something like that would go a long way.
