My band played a lot of venues back in the day that had no HVAC inside

Back during those days a lot of the venues were dive bars or really low-key event centers with small standing or seating capacities

I started playing in bands when I was 13, but back then few of us were any good on our instruments. We were a bunch of kids that liked to listen to rock music and had dreams of someday hitting the road and playing shows for thousands of people. By the time I was in my second band in high school, I had finally finished a few years of lessons and was getting quite proficient at my instrument. This is a far cry from the beginning days of me first picking up the guitar and barely making passable sounds, let alone playing real music. After I reached this level of proficiency, I created a new band with a group of friends from the music department at our high school. We stayed in that band for a number of years since we all stayed in our home city after graduating from high school. It was in that band when I played the most number of gigs in a single year, and I haven’t topped it since. I think I played something like three gigs a week without a single break from early January until late December that same year. Back during those days a lot of the venues were dive bars or really low-key event centers with small standing or seating capacities. Many of the venues we played in lacked real HVAC beyond fans or mere space heaters if it was winter and the weather outside was considerably cold. But the lack of air conditioning was terrible when the venues would get extremely hot from the combined body heat of all the patrons and guests.
