 | | At Carnegie Hall is a jazz album by The Dave Brubeck Quartet, released in 1963 (see 1963 in music); it was recorded at the famed Carnegie Hall in New York City. | | | It was described by critic Richard Palmer as "arguably Dave Brubeck's greatest concert" and a "truly majestic record that should be in every serious collection"; for Don Mather it is "one of the all time great live jazz performances". |

| | The Beatles made their New York debut at Carnegie Hall in 1964, followed by the Rolling Stones that same year, and The Doors, Bob Dylan, Pink Floyd, Elton John, David Bowie and Stevie Wonder have all appeared on its stage. | | | Built in 1891, Carnegie Hall has long been considered a litmus test of musical greatness, and the list of famous musicians who have graced the stage makes up a Who's Who of the past century. | | | However, though the hall's celebrated acoustics have been frequently analyzed as a basis for reverb algorithm design, those same acoustics, have proven a nagging problem for sound reinforcement system designers and installers. |

| | Carnegie Hall's superb acoustics survived the rehabilitation while the acoustics at Avery Fisher Hall at the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts that had become the new home of the renegade New York Philharmonic were not very good to begin with and did not get much better after a couple of major renovations. | | | Its 2,760-seat, multi-balconied, main concert hall, however, was, and is, very handsome in its dimensions and most notably in its acoustics. | | | Carnegie Hall subsequently announced it would raise funds to convert it to a concert hall. |
