Hollywood Bowl 2006

[lotty04]

i've very excited about this show... i think it's going to be amazing. i wonder who the opener will be.

[whodat]

I totally agree. They have never played the veue before, I think, plus all the mystic about "The Bowl." Don't want to put to much emphasis on a show, or build up my hopes, but kind of hard with this show. Nice to see them play a really cool place in LA. The Greek would have been unreal, and unrealistic. Too small of a place for just one night.

[neumdogg]

HOLY SHIT!!!


This is fucking ridiculous


I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooexcited

[marlin1805]

Saw the Rolling Stones there this year, its a great venue, very different from normal venues. Its gonna be a great show!!

[DMBBeav]

I have to say...I saw Radiohead there in 2003 and it is a terrible venue for a concert. Specifically, there isn't a sense of unity at the show. If you aren't in the 2000 best seats, you are guaranteed a terrible view. The acoustics are good though...Also, the venue is like 5 minutes from my house so I kinda have to go...

What are people doing? Is everybody doing Irvine, SD and then Hollywood? I would do Irvine and Hollywood but I fear major repeats between the two shows. Thoughts?

[lotty04]

i think you're right... but then again you never know, i am going to both regaurdless, just for the fact that it's the hollywood bowl which is such a historic place in it self and it's going to be one of the top shows of the summer... MARK MY WORDS! hopefully they get a good opener. flecktones would be redic.

[PrettyPenelope]

Hell yes!!!!!!!!! This is going to be awesome! Do we realize how intimate this is going to be? I'm so damn excited.

[dmb8]

Hell yes!!!!!!!!! This is going to be awesome! Do we realize how intimate this is going to be? I'm so damn excited.

:BANG :BANG Hey Laura Now that i move to the East coast they play the Hollywood bowl ..but there seems to be some nice gigs on the east coast this year to make up for it :)

[PrettyPenelope]

Hi Mike, long time no see! You can't complain man, you have spac. That is my fav place after the gorge. You should come out for some west coast shows...I'm moving up to SF, so if you came out for the gorge or shoreline ;)

How's NY treating you?

[whodat]

I am going to try and swing the SoCal trifecta, Irvine, SD and Hollywood. As for repeats, they happen regardless, just hoping for some good shows. Like the ones in the past have been bad or something. Have to think that they have something up there sleeves for this show.

My best Friend wants me to move out there w/ him (bay area). I am def debating it but prob won't make it before the gigs. Would def like to hang out with you & mike when the time is right.

I haven't been to SPAC since 04' so I will def hit that up both nights. Debating on Randall's since BF&FT will be there :shrug , went last year so not sure. Prob Fenway if it happens.

NY is good, just freezing my buns off :thumbsdow , I am not a winter person to say the least.

Ya I remember you were originally going to move to SF. Oh well, maybe we'll all get to tailgate at some shows this year. I haven't spoken to Chase or Jeff or anybody in a while, but would be fun...

[neumdogg]

I have seen James Taylor, Simon and Garfunkel, Rolling Stones, Oasis, and Radiohead at the Hollywood bowl. It is an amazing venue if you are sitting in the front 3rd of the bowl. After that, it does get a little far. Here's hoping that we all get great seats!

Best part about this venue: I LIVE WALKING DISTANCE!!!

[csgreen]

im going apply for chula, hw, irvine and shoreline...do you think that it will be hardest to get hw because its the first time? also, is shoreline good for both nights?

[kjzz12]

Hollywood Bowl!!!!!!! I'm so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[whodat]

Hope that Hollywood is not he hardest to get. I really want to be at this show. Chula and Irvine should be apiece of cake.

As for Shoreline, not clue. But let me know how it goes.

[neumdogg]

im going apply for chula, hw, irvine and shoreline...do you think that it will be hardest to get hw because its the first time? also, is shoreline good for both nights?
HW will definitely be hard to get. One, becuase its the first time they have played there. And 2, it is only one night in LA. Previous years, it was 2 at the HDC which was easy for both LA and OC residents to get to. Now they are separate.

[DMBBeav]

I agree. Will be the first instant sellout in LA since Staples in '02.

[neumdogg]

The only thing that makes me mad is that it is on a Monday. This means less time for me to party before. Also, tailgating will be very interesting at this one.

[csgreen]

okay, i kind of have another random question...have you guys ever used those bracelets you can buy off of ebay to get into better sections at concerts, and if so, do they actually work?

[whodat]

I would be a bit skepticle that a wrist band would work. At HDC and Chula Vista i have never seen a wrist band system used for DMB shows, so they might not work.

If the price is right though, it might be worth the risk.

[DMBBeav]

The only thing that makes me mad is that it is on a Monday. This means less time for me to party before. Also, tailgating will be very interesting at this one.

Agreed on both accounts. I don't think I can make it to Irvine because it is on a Friday(work day). Also...what tailgating? Personally, because it is on a Monday, I don't see myself getting out of work any earlier than 6(which I will have to arrange ahead of time as that is 'leaving early') and Hollywood Bowl doesn't exactly have any great lots that work for tailgating.

I imagine my WH seniority will get me good seats and all, but the the Hollywood Bowl really sounds better on paper than what it really will be in reality.

Right now I am considering driving down to SD for the Saturday show just to have the more 'traditional' DMB show...Have to check with my DMB concert-going friend to see if he wants to do that...

By the way, it is 03/01/06 and I am going on record as saying they will open with One Sweet World.

[whodat]

Honestly, Im gonna ask for a half day. Maybe if I ask now, my boss will say its cool. Also remember, traffic there can be AWFUL.

[DMBBeav]

Very true. I honestly might just drive to my friend's house in Hollywood and walk there.

Good thing I live walking distance from the bowl. That makes this SOO sweet.

[lieinmygrave41]

!!! This is so awesome!! I love the Holywood Bowl!!

I just found out that I'm going to Tweeter Center in June and Irvine in Audust and Hollywood Bowl. This will be a hell of a summer!

[devilray223]

I live 2 miles from a park that has park and ride busses to the Hollywood Bowl. I'm going to try that. However, I thought DMB signed a contract with the Group in charge of HDC and Staples, and they had to play another 2 years at HDC if they are to play in Ventura, OC or LA counties they had to play at HDC.

I may be totally wrong, but I thought that was what the deal was for HDC. Since DMB was the first concert in the soccer stadium. Maybe they broke the contract? Or the contract ended? Any thoughts? Was there a contract, and I'm completly wrong?

[lieinmygrave41]

^ Thats what I thought too :shrug I really like the HDC, because I know it won't ever be sold out. Hollywood bowl will be out very quick. Especially since its a one nighter. :(

[ucbedge]

HAHA....I find it funny how people are saying how far back youll be in the Hollywood Bowl. It cant be any farther back than in the Home Depot Center!

I liked the convenience of the HDC...they had a good parking and driving situation, and its in a convenient location. Convenient ticketing.

Hollywood Bowl is less convenient, but hopefully it will still be a great concert venue. It better be a better venue, or else the added stress of getting tickets/traffic/parking wont be worth it.

Now...best way to get in the front 1/3 of the bowl? Since it's a single-night stand, will Warehouse pick based on seniority or randomness?

[neumdogg]

Being in the back of the Hollywood Bowl ius much worse than being in the back of the HDC.

I hope it is seniority. Typically, one night stands are seniority so we'll see...

Somebody called the Hollywood Bowl intimate...nothing could be further from the truth. As you said, if you aren't in that front third your view is worse than that on the lawn of your average amphitheatre. And if you are on the benches? Forget about it. You will be wishing you were on D4 at the HDC.

To people who don't get tix, you can go up to this spot on Muholland and listen to the show. The sound won't be great(haha...ha) but it beats hanging on the net and looking at the realtime setlists.

[neumdogg]

I hope its senority too. Member since 1999!

[penn darvis]

I unfortunately start school on this day. Glad they finally got out of HDC though.

[DMBBeav]

I hope its senority too. Member since 1999!

Member since 98. Have fun staring at the back of my head. :D

[lieinmygrave41]

man, I'm sorta dissapointed its not two nights.

[neumdogg]

Member since 98. Have fun staring at the back of my head. :D
Until my friend who works for the Hollywood bowl hooks me up with those seats in front of you.

[PrettyPenelope]

Good thing I live walking distance from the bowl. That makes this SOO sweet.*ahem* don't mind if i park at your house and walk with you :D

[neumdogg]

*ahem* don't mind if i park at your house and walk with you :D
Ha! You'll have to wait in line! A bunch have people have asked me that today. It seems people only like me for my parking spot!

[dmbisgod]

HDC CREW IS NOW HOLLYWOOD BOWL CREW?

LOL


i saw queen and paul rogers here last year,. great venue gunna be sick for a dmb show. cant wait to see all of u there

[Sniper15]

How much does the hollywood bowl hold?

[whodat]

17383, according to dmbalmanac.com

[lieinmygrave41]

Anyone have pictures of the venue? And has DMB played there before?

[boarder911]

super pumped for this concert....keeping my fingers crossed i wont have to be at college yet...still waiting for all my admissions decisions....but sounds like its going to be an unreal concert

[lieinmygrave41]

:hump we get to go to the first DMB concert at the Bowl

http://dmbalmanac.com/VenueStats.aspx?vid=1588

[lieinmygrave41]

I found some cool pictures of the venue. It'll be interesting to see DMB here.

[DMBBeav]

I found some cool pictures of the venue. It'll be interesting to see DMB here.

Ok, see that second picture. That is what it looks like in the middle of the back section. That on the stage is an orchestra. Now imagine little ol Dave up there and you have an idea how far away bad seats are from the stage.

[lieinmygrave41]

:( I am saddened.

EDIT: I couldn't imagine that sold out.

[lieinmygrave41]

maybe, within that huge 10 day gap in September, they'll fill it in with HDC....

[latinangel]

I'm just thrilled that its 3 miles away from my place. No need to fight for a parking spot when you can take a shuttle there. I love it!

[lieinmygrave41]

thats awesome! I'm thinking of making it a day trip, head over to Guitar Center, maybe spot Dave there, then go to the Bowl....;)

[Isilinde]

I might be there. I have a friend in Burbank, but he doesn't know if he'll be there in August. Still buying tickets. :)

[Boingofan]

That's the spirit! Wow one day off on the forums and see what good stuff I miss? Wowsers im so excited for this. 20 minute drive isnt bad either, Are you guys buying through Warehouse or TM? I might join warehouse tonight that way I'm guaranteed some seats. I hear they sellout here in L.A. pretty damn fast.

[DMBBeav]

They don't out in LA fast at all, last sellout was the first '03 show at HDC I believe, but with only one show at a relatively small venue, I expect Hollywood Bowl tickets to go fast.

[Boingofan]

I was wondering if I should join warehouse just in case they sold out on TM. haha maybe im freaking out too much about this but I cant pass up this opportunity at the bowl!

[neumdogg]

Well, just to remind you, Warehouse does not guarentee that you will get tickets.

[DMBBeav]

To answer your question, I am pretty sure if you join the WH and order the tickets you will get approved and will get a pair of tickets SOMEWHERE in the venue...however, as a first year member, it probably won't be the best seats in the house.

You are located in Valencia, so I'm sure I'm not telling you anything new(plus I've said it about 3 times in the 2 pages of this thread) but the Hollywood Bowl just isn't the best venue to see a concert like DMB. I don't antcipate this concert being any better / more special than the ones in Irvine and SD that precede it. Personally, I'm going because I love DMB and happen to live about 5 minutes(by car) from the venue....so, honestly, how can I not go? But I wouldn't reccommend spending crazy amounts of money because you anticipate something special here...

[DMBBeav]

Well, just to remind you, Warehouse does not guarentee that you will get tickets.

Right, but for the average show(not a Roseland or a D&T in Vegas or MSG or the Gorge) I haven't heard of people getting denied.

haha... I actually bought my train ticket this morning. :) I can get a refund less 10% from amtrak. So it's all good. And I'll always be able to sell the concert tickets.

It'll be my first visit to LA, and California at that. I'm pretty excited!

EDIT>> Now I've just got to get my hands on some decent tickets!

Taking a train from KC to LA? How long does that take?

[Isilinde]

Aboot a day and a half.

I don't have a "job", per se. .... So I don't have to worry about asking for time off. :p

It'll be fun..... because trains are the shit. :)

haha that should be a fun trip, you'll love it here I know I do and I moved here from Green Bay, Wisconsin. The weather is un-beatable and so are the women. (not that you would care)

[Isilinde]

Yeah... I'm really excited. Mostly just about the train ride... seeing a good friend.... and seeing DMB. But I'm sure I'll like LA a lot. :D I guess this is a bit of a birthday gift to myself. :)

Very nice! My birthday is around the time too. However, I wont be taking a train from Kansas. In fact, I will walk to the Bowl from my apartment!

[Isilinde]

Hey, cool! :) I'll at least be walking from my friend's apartment to the venue! ;)

My birthday is Sept 1st.... When I saw the Gorge dates this year I was so sad because last year was our Gorge year. It would've been kickass to see DMB at The Gorge for the first time ever on my 21st birthday.... But they HAD to have it on my birthday weekend THIS year. :rolleyes

Ah well. :)

Thats awe some! :thumbsup it sounds like a lot of fun. Hope someone is going with you so you don't go insane!

[lieinmygrave41]

I am pumped. I actually haven't been to the bowl. But my sister says it's relatively smaller thab HDC, and I thought HDC was small for a DMB venue.

[Isilinde]

Thats awe some! :thumbsup it sounds like a lot of fun. Hope someone is going with you so you don't go insane!

Nope. I'm going alone. :)
I don't mind. I like to have time to myself. And I love long trips... and taking the train. I'll have a book, some music, a sketchpad, and a bit o' that stinky green to keep me occupied. Plus, there are so many people to meet on a train! :)

[PrettyPenelope]

As well as everyone else my friend. I just love the fact that he's never played there and we'll get to see him It's a wonderful time to live in california:)

[lieinmygrave41]

yes it is. I think that DMB should play for 2 nights, rather than 1. Especially living in SoCal. All the "radio" listeners come and they ruin it for the "real" fans :rolleyes but really, they do...

[PrettyPenelope]

Is it bad to say I really dislike radio listeners?

and agreed, two nights at HB would be amazing....

[Isilinde]

Is it bad to say I really dislike radio listeners?

No.

Not that their radio songs are bad, really (at least, I don't think most of them are)..... but the people who only know them by the radio tunes and listen to lots of crappy pop don't need to be at the shows.

I say this now, but I can usually ignore them pretty well when it comes down to it.

[kmgeorge]

I live in the SoCal area about 45 minutes south of Hollywood, and I've actually been on stage at the Hollywood Bowl. It's a pretty neat place for a concert: very intimate and great sounding acoustics. I am a little disappointed they won't be at the HDC this year, because I really liked that spot the past two years I went. I can't blame them though; west coast crowds are never as big as the east coast, which is why I'm guessing we're getting smaller venues this year with one-nighters. The Hollywood Bowl holds about half the capacity of the HDC, by the way.

[Alandmb]

nice venue, i can't wait..........but what about the tailgating parties?, are we gonna be able to have some drinking before the shows???????

btw, Irvine's traffic sucks big time, i'll probably get there 3 or 4 hours before.

[davehead34]

It's so very nice to see all the familiar faces (or screen names) in here today! I might be able to make it to the SoCal shows, but I'm not making any promises right now! I'm getting out of the Marines the 5th of August, but might stay out here till Labor Day weekend.

[lieinmygrave41]

hey congratulations! :hug

[davehead34]

hey congratulations! :hug

Thanks, Will :)

[PrettyPenelope]

I'm not sure about that either, but I vaguely remember people drinking by the cars at the last show I was at.

[PrettyPenelope]

What's up Chase? Long time no talk :)

[davehead34]

What's up Chase? Long time no talk :)

Long time, indeed! I've been away from the boards for a while. Nothing new, really. I'm getting out of the Marines soon, so I'm looking forward to that. Also looking to getting another SoCal Ants reunion soon in the spirit of the new season :)

[PrettyPenelope]

Ya I haven't been around much either with school, but I'm done in may and looking to move to the bay area. A reunion would be awesome, to get ready for summer. That's great about you finishing up, I wish you luck in finding a job or moving or whatever you are planning to do :)

[davehead34]

Thanks! That's really awesome that you'll be done in May! I'll keep you posted on any potential gatherings. I just did a search for the old "SoCal Ants Unite" thread, but couldn't find it :(

[PrettyPenelope]

Hmm, I couldn't find it either...who knows. May as well start another anyway, lots of new ants to invite :)

[davehead34]

Hmm, I couldn't find it either...who knows. May as well start another anyway, lots of new ants to invite :)

[compushop]

well I will be coming from Texas ... I guess this year is the SO CAL tour ...

Texas ... Alpine .... So Cal ... and ??

I am coming from McAllen, Texas ....

I probably should've figured that out myself :lol One of my best friends lives in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. Is that relatively close to you?

[PrettyPenelope]

Tis true :) Will you be making it to all SoCal shows this year?I'm hoping to be up in the bay area by then, but I wouldn't miss Hollywood Bowl for anything. I figure I'll do Coors and HB, and the Shoreline. What are your plans?

[davehead34]

I'm hoping to be up in the bay area by then, but I wouldn't miss Hollywood Bowl for anything. I figure I'll do Coors and HB, and the Shoreline. What are your plans?

My plans? :lol My plans won't be written in stone probably until the day before each show I'd like to attend, but here goes...

1. Both Fenways (provided they DO play Fenway.

2. Both Hartford, CT shows.

3. Alpine.

4. All SoCal shows (not Shoreline, unforutnately, Sac, or Gorge).

5. I may be able to squeeze a few more dates in there some where, but it'll be tough!

I'd especially like to hit up Hollywood! I've not been to the Bowl, yet, and am wicked excited for the Irvine show! The Meadows (Irvine) is a great place for tailgating and shows alike.

[justinandimcool]

HOLLYWOOD BOWLERS!!!

What's up?

[PrettyPenelope]

Alpine? That kicks ass.

I can't do gorge again this year and it actually breaks my heart. Oh well.

Yeah, I can't do Red Rocks AGAIN this year :( Oh wait! That's right! They're never playing RR again! I can live with that, then ;)

And...I'm kinda worried I'm not gonna get tix for this show! AHHHH stress.

Don't you fret my little friend. You'll get tickets. It'd be a different story if we lived in the North East where DMB is as popular as apple pie and Coca-Cola, but here in SoCal you won't have much difficulty finding your way into the venue. If you do, let me know and I'll hook it up :)

What's wrong with your geography knowledge. If you say all SoCal shows it's clear that it's not San Fran, Sacramento, and certainly not the Gorge.:eek

What's wrong with your geography knowledge. If you say all SoCal shows it's clear that it's not San Fran, Sacramento, and certainly not the Gorge.:eek

Just teasing you, but come on.:lol

Joe:lol harsh but funny. you coming down for the shows or do you like to frequent random show threads no where near your home?

[SymphonyOfDeath]

I'm going to be there. I'm finally able to go to some shows :)

[Isilinde]

Alpine? That kicks ass.

I can't do gorge again this year and it actually breaks my heart. Oh well.

Me too..... :(

[davehead34]

I was mentioning those shows in addition to the SoCal shows. I suppose it was a bit ambiguous. :shrug

[davehead34]

shit Dallas is a 12 Hr drive for me ... this damn state is way too big ....

:lol Agreed. You need to upgrade to a classier (and smaller) state like Rhode Island :cool

[lieinmygrave41]

I'm going to be there. I'm finally able to go to some shows :)

:hump :hump oh yeah! You will have quite the memorable summer.

[davehead34]

:hump :hump oh yeah! You will have quite the memorable summer.

:thumbsup Agreed. I was just discussing how DMB seems to out do theirselves each year, and since they're not supporting a new album I think there's a heavy possibility they'll play some new stuff we haven't heard yet.

[Isilinde]

And bring back a couple of old tunes, maybe.... :)

I am so excited about this show.... and traveling out there to see it. How many days, now?...... ;)

[davehead34]

Cool! And I read this right after I finished counting out all my summer countdowns on the calendar! D'oh!

[neumdogg]

nice venue, i can't wait..........but what about the tailgating parties?, are we gonna be able to have some drinking before the shows???????

btw, Irvine's traffic sucks big time, i'll probably get there 3 or 4 hours before.
I can't believe I forgot about this!

There is a park located right next to the Bowl. I have prepartied there many times before a show, most memorably before the Oasis show (Laura, you should have showed up earlier!). It's not the biggest park, but its perfect. No hassle.

[neumdogg]

Tired....thats it. Working and drinking my ass off. And now, spending too much money with these DMB shows.

How are you doing, buddy?!

[Isilinde]

Robert Randolph and the Family Band is opening!!!! :D

I'm SOOOOOO excited!!

[PrettyPenelope]

Robert Randolph and the Family Band is opening!!!! :D

I'm SOOOOOO excited!!That is so freaking amazing! You know RR is going to come out during Bayou or something!

[PrettyPenelope]

Wow, RR and band opening at all california shows. This summer is going to rock!!!

[davehead34]

Wow, RR and band opening at all california shows. This summer is going to rock!!!

Don't get me wrong - I love RR - but I kinda sorta want to see someone else. I saw him 13 times last year for crying out loud!

[neumdogg]

Wow, RR and band opening at all california shows. This summer is going to rock!!!
Wait, no Black Eye Peas???!!! What am I supposed to do?!:rolleyes

[davehead34]

[PrettyPenelope]

Don't get me wrong - I love RR - but I kinda sorta want to see someone else. I saw him 13 times last year for crying out loud!Wow, sorry to hear that. I only saw RR come out for songs with DMB, never seen the entire band. So I'm pumped.

And Adam, http://www.blackeyedpeas.com/home/events ... enjoy! :rolleyes

They're definitely awesome! I'll probably go in a few times to check them out again. I really wanted Matisyahu or Umphrey's but whatever.

[joekoch]

:lol harsh but funny. you coming down for the shows or do you like to frequent random show threads no where near your home?

I plan to go to the Hollywood Bowl show for sure. So, no I'm not showing up in random show threads. I hope I can meet a few of you there.

Joe

[PrettyPenelope]

They're definitely awesome! I'll probably go in a few times to check them out again. I really wanted Matisyahu or Umphrey's but whatever.Matisyahu played at my campus two weeks ago, but I couldnt go bc I went to see Tea Leaf Green. Heard the Matisyahu show was awesome though.

[DMBBeav]

And Adam, http://www.blackeyedpeas.com/home/events ... enjoy! :rolleyes

Ahhh yes, the Honda Civic tour:thumbsdow

[neumdogg]

OK, RR will be great to see. However, I feel like we never get G Love. Kinda dissapointing.

[Isilinde]

That is so freaking amazing! You know RR is going to come out during Bayou or something!

I actually think that he'd sound GREAT on some other songs. :) Proudest Monkey would sound soooo soo good with RR! So would Rapunzel, Smooth Rider, So Much to Say>>Anyone Seen the Bridge?>>Too Much.

[davehead34]

Matisyahu played at my campus two weeks ago, but I couldnt go bc I went to see Tea Leaf Green. Heard the Matisyahu show was awesome though.

Wasn't that the "Raggamuffin Tour" or something like that? I recall Matisyahu playing in LA before he came to SD for Bob Marley Day. I missed TLG and Keller Williams when they came here :(

[davehead34]

I actually think that he'd sound GREAT on some other songs. :) Proudest Monkey would sound soooo soo good with RR! So would Rapunzel, Smooth Rider, So Much to Say>>Anyone Seen the Bridge?>>Too Much.

I'd like to hear RR guest on Last Stop. It'll never happen, though. Ever.

[Isilinde]

Me too. I just didn't say anything because I don't want to get my hopes up. hehe

[davehead34]

Me too. I just didn't say anything because I don't want to get my hopes up. hehe

I've tried not jinxing myself and went to all the shows where they should have played Last Stop, but it never happens for me. I'm way past superstition now. I'm simply meant to never hear that song.

[Isilinde]

Time alone will tell. :)

[davehead34]

Time alone will tell. :)

:lol Nope, not for me. I've completely given up all hope on that song. I've been to at least 5 last shows of the tour, to include MSG, Red Rocks, Gorge, and SF. I'm pretty sure I'll never hear it.

[Isilinde]

Well, maybe you just went on the wrong years.

Anyhow, I don't want to jinx it for you by insisting that you might still hear it.

hehe

[davehead34]

Well, maybe you just went on the wrong years.

Anyhow, I don't want to jinx it for you by insisting that you might still hear it.

hehe

I've been to at least six or seven shows each year dating back to 2000. They've played it a few times between now and then. I think I did something horribly wrong and offended God in the process. This is my punishment.

[Boingofan]

Last Stop would be amazing, I seriously would shit myself if I heard this live.

Check out this bummer though...im 18 right and well my family decides to go to Cancun this summer, I thought it would be cool because hey the drinking age is 18...welp just so happends they decide to plan this vacation through June 26th -July 3rd. And every summer during late June I head over for Wisconsin and I usually go to alpine...looks like this year no alpine. super pissed soo im hoping they redeem themselves for their 3 days in SoCal.

I was very pleased with last year's SoCal shows. I hope this year's shows will be on or about the same leve. It was really cool seeing Leon Mobley jam out with the band.

And that sucks about your trip :lol

Another great thing about the Hollywood Bowl is thier BYOB policy:

whoa, can we get some confirmation that this will carry to the DMB show? If so, that is simply incredible. Anyway see an Oasis or RH there and have this be the case?

THIS IS NO LONGER TRUE. You can not bring outside alcohol into the bowl. I went to 5 shows there last summer and they trash everything you bring in. You used to be able to bring it, but now you can't. Sorry for the bad news!

Ah, well. At least I prefer to smoke. :)

[defcon]

I gotta say, by the looks of the photos, I think I might have to drop half my life savings to head out west for this...see Los Angeles, all that stuff. I heard Ben Harper tore the place up -- and it sounds like he did. I expect no different for the boys.

[Isilinde]

I think I'm going to see if my friend wants to go to one of the Channel Islands while I'm there. I would LOVE that. :)

Are you going to all the Cali shows?

As much as I'd love to do that, I can't afford it and I wouldn't want to leave my husband out of so much fun. :) He's already disappointed enough that he won't get to come out there with me in the first place... heh

Not that he doesn't want me to go because of that. Good thing I married someone who wasn't overprotective! Or jealous for that matter... since I'm staying with a guy. :)

I'll be in LA for 3 days though. I'm actually considering changing that to 4 days. :) So long as amtrak doesn't charge a big fee for that.

[justinandimcool]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh so excited

[PrettyPenelope]

I think I'm going to see if my friend wants to go to one of the Channel Islands while I'm there. I would LOVE that. :)You should DEFINITELY do that. My bf and I went camping on one of them this summer and it was beautiful. Totally remote, and none of that bullshit infrastructure like you get at Yosemite. Just you, the ocean, and ferrel (sp) pigs. Ferry prices are not too expensive, and its basically like car camping, so you can bring whatever you want.

[defcon]

Anyone going to smoke a bowl, in the Hollywood Bowl, or does that kinda thing not fly there?

[neumdogg]

Or you can be totally hollywood like me and say "Fuck nature! Where is Paris Hilton partying tonight?!"

No. No one in Los Angeles smokes weed...

[defcon]

Cool. I didn't think so. Completely straight-edged town. Boy, those people out yonder in the west really keep their feet on the ground and their heads out of the clouds. :D

C'mon...I'm hoping someone shares some of that medical grade stuff you get out there...

[neumdogg]

Thanks for the advice -- which I will take! I'm thinking either Santa Cruz or Santa Rosa. The nearest island to the mainland (forgot the name already... starts with an 'A') sounds a little too crowded for my tastes.

I'm glad I pack very light, so I can bring my tent along with me on the train. :D

I actually want to buy a glass piece somewhere in LA and take the first hit out of it at the show. Then name it Hollywood.

yes. I am kinda bummed we arent getting HDC this year, because I planned out everyone I was going to take. I swear I read that DMB had some contract there :freak oh well. But yes, RR played on Watchtower and Bayou. He is insane!!!! The energy goes wild. Of course, 85% of the audience is drunk/ has no clue who he is, and about 85% of So Cal DMB concert goers are radio fans....but whatever. :monkey The shows still rock :thumbsup

so true! i make up the whole entire 15%

[dubsnevets]

Matt, that's pretty awesome that you're flying over here during the summer to catch some shows :thumbsup. I've done that flight before, in the middle seat of the airplane, and yeah, I am probably not going to rate it up there as one of the most enjoyable experiences :lol

[SymphonyOfDeath]

so true! i make up the whole entire 15%I met two people who know of DMB this week and neither of them are radio fans (although it's a bit hard to be a radio fan when they're not on the radio)

[dubsnevets]

I've never been overseas before and I've only been on a plane once and it was a small 4 seater.

Well, get ready to sleep (A LOT), watch a lot of movies and walk around the airplane our of sheer boredom. It's a good 20 hours to LA and about 17 hours back to Australia because of the jet stream. It'll be worth it though, especially since it looks like you're going to the Gorge :)

that lucky bastard ;)

[lotty04]

do you think RR will come on for more songs this summer then the normal LB and AATW, and surprisingly Smooth Rider... i think he would add a lot to LIOG or shit even two step... who knows but i know this show will be one of the top 5 shows of the summer...

[SymphonyOfDeath]

I think he would fit in good on LIOG, Jimi and Minarets

[lieinmygrave41]

I want to see him on Don't Drink the Water and Seek Up. I have no clue why DDTW, I just think his distorted steel guitar would fit in nicely. :)

[SymphonyOfDeath]

I want to see him on Don't Drink the Water and Seek Up. I have no clue why DDTW, I just think his distorted steel guitar would fit in nicely. :)I agree with DDTW, DIDO and the end of the Recently jam might work too. Jeff Coffin is the guest I want most on Seek Up, him and Bela would be INSANE, maybe at Randall's :shrug

[lieinmygrave41]

no, not maybe, its going to happen Matt. :D


oh, and I have a DVD with Jeff as a guest on #41, and he REALLY gets into the song, I mean really gets into it :lol

[SymphonyOfDeath]

no, not maybe, its going to happen Matt. :D


oh, and I have a DVD with Jeff as a guest on #41, and he REALLY gets into the song, I mean really gets into it :lolHave you seen anyone else at the bowl? Looks like a good venue :thumbsup

I just downloaded 4/20/02 #41 today so I know what you mean!


edit: Can I do those B&Ps for you in about two weeks because that's school holidays.

[lieinmygrave41]

Have you seen anyone else at the bowl? Looks like a good venue :thumbsup

I just downloaded 4/20/02 #41 today so I know what you mean!

I saw the LA Phil Harmonic there :eek its agreat venue! I can't wait to see DMB play, its half the size of the Home Depot Center, and that really isn't a big venue for DMB standards.

[SymphonyOfDeath]

I saw the LA Phil Harmonic there :eek its agreat venue! I can't wait to see DMB play, its half the size of the Home Depot Center, and that really isn't a big venue for DMB standards.I wish I had got to see DMB at the Palais when they came down, just under 3000 people.

[lieinmygrave41]

holy smokes Batman! That would be a crazy concert!

[SymphonyOfDeath]

holy smokes Batman! That would be a crazy concert!My friend who got me into DMB met Stefan there.

[lieinmygrave41]

Thats so cool! Is he coming out to the states with you?

[SymphonyOfDeath]

Thats so cool! Is he coming out to the states with you?no, but I'll go with him to the Melbourne shows next time.

I hope the Flecktones announce come dates for late August because they're my second favourite band. The closest one is 9/14 but it's in Canada.

[lieinmygrave41]

I've actually never heard an album or even a song by the band. What would you recommend?


Oh by the way, I have to take off for the evening, I have an Honor Band concert. Wish me luck!

how many rows in the orch pit?there's heaps of venue info at http://www.hollywoodbowl.com/

You might find something there :)

[lieinmygrave41]

back from the show!! It was really good.(my honor band concert) The Jr High Band(me) and the High School played. Everyone was good. I don't want to sound like a dork, so I won't go any further. Haha...

[lieinmygrave41]

how many rows in the orch pit?

3 :shrug

[SymphonyOfDeath]

Just requested tickets. Do you think a sixth year Warehouse member would get good seats?

[lieinmygrave41]

do you think a 1 week member will get good seats? And how have you been a member for 6 years Matt?! using your friends name as a pretext huh....

[SymphonyOfDeath]

do you think a 1 week member will get good seats? And how have you been a member for 6 years Matt?! using your friends name as a pretext huh....A guy I did a trade with is requesting for me. I don't think there's too many 8 y/o warehouse members out there :lol

[lieinmygrave41]

Yeah, too bad :lol I am frustrated somewhat with the whole senority thing, because there are really devoted fans who haven't joined the Warehouse for one reason or another, then there are other people who joined it a long time a go, and only renew for a chance to meet the band. I think that they should have a test for who gets good seats.

1. Who is Dave Matthews
a - like, Dave Matthews?!
b - that guy who sings Hike up The Skirt, or what is it, oh yeah, Crash.
c - The lead singer/guitarist for DMB. Born and raised in South Africa, his music represents the culture and tongue of the heart of Africa.
d - That guy who sang Angel From Montgomery, but I can't remember who originally wrote it


:BANG

[SymphonyOfDeath]

Or they could do it by who lives furthest away from the venue ;)

[lieinmygrave41]

haha. I would win nothing! :(

[lieinmygrave41]

ok, I'm headin over to the Setlist game chat. Because I really need to get back into the hang of things

[neumdogg]

Alright, so I trying to figure out the best time to ask my boss if I can take a half day for this show. I know its about 5 months away, but Lord knows its better to be safe than sorry!

[tazeeee]

okay, i kind of have another random question...have you guys ever used those bracelets you can buy off of ebay to get into better sections at concerts, and if so, do they actually work?
They only have wrist bands for the front row at Chula. And every year they are different colors. So don't waste your money. It is a scam.

[PrettyPenelope]

Hey Adam, did you request tickets through WH? Are we not going to be able to sit together then? :(

I did request through warehouse. But, I'm also hoping my buddy comes through with house seats and I'll also buy through ticketmaster. If we dont sit together, we'll preparty together at my apartment and the park.

[Isilinde]

Hey, I'd like to get in on this park action maybe. :)

Sounds like fun.

[neumdogg]

I'm sure there willl be lots of people partying there.

I'm sure I can let you past my velvet rope.....I mean, this is Hollywood.

[Isilinde]

heh...

I ~think~ I might drop by for a bit. But that's no guarantee.

5 months away... 5 months away... 5 months away....


I can't wait.

A little anxious?! I completely understand. I hate the fact that the west coast shows are always last!

[Isilinde]

Very anxious. :)

But... the fact that they're near the end of the tour means that the shows will likely sound better and have more interesting setlists. ;)

True....I just hate waiting that long. I just wish once that that they would switch the tourdates and get us first.

Yeah, I see what you're saying. :)

Being in the KC does have some advantages.... like being able to see the beginning and/or end of the tour, since you're close to the south, east, north, and west.

Im still debating on doing Randall's again.....Another excuse to go to NY. But thats not even the beginning of the tour.

If you're looking for an excuse to go to NY, you should go to SPAC. Venue is amazing. It's roughly a 4 hours drive from the city but well worth, I would presume, over Randalls. Which you've already done anyway...:)

Should I request lower or upper bowl? I'm not sure what the chances of getting the tickets are if I request lower.

[Isilinde]

That's what I'm wondering. I'm only a 2nd year member (never wanted to shuck out $35 to join before last year)..... and I don't think my chances of lower bowl are very good.

Wait, are you talking about through Warehouse? I didn't know you could choose between upper or lower!! Where did you seee that?

[Isilinde]

It has lower, upper, and rear bowl options for the WH request.

So, if you request lower bowl and don't get those tickets.... do you get completely shafted or does the WH just bump you back to not-as-good seats in the upper and rear bowl?

I think if you request specific seats and don't get them you get declined...I just put 'Best Available'...

[Isilinde]

Thanks. :) I think I'm going to request lower bowl, actually. I'd rather get declined and then have to go through TM than get not-so-great seats through the WH and have to spend more money trying to get better seats on TM or on the boards.

[whodat]

If you get declined, there is always Instant Ticketing as well. One year at Chula Vista I had to do that and got really good seats.

[Isilinde]

Yup. I plan on sitting like a hawk in front of this computer whenever I'm home this summer. Hopefully, instants for the Bowl won't go up while I'm somewhere else!

[Boingofan]

oh gosh im so excited. its just so damn far away!

Anyone feeling the late winter chill in LA today?

[davehead34]

Anyone feeling the late winter chill in LA today?

Hells yeah bro. It's like 52 down here in San Diego! I was up in LA last weekend. Well, Huntington Beach actually. I actually enjoyed it. I think I'm getting used to the 405 FINALLY.

[PrettyPenelope]

Anyone feeling the late winter chill in LA today?It's supposed to snow at 2000 ft today!!!!!!!!! Kicks ass. I love winter. :)

[davehead34]

Mmmm...snowboarding :cool So I just got my taxes back today. I'm getting myself a new funboard :D

[PrettyPenelope]

You been to Mammoth at all this winter Chase?

[davehead34]

Unfortunately I have not been to Mammoth AT ALL since I moved here! I was slated to take some leave last January and crash a condo up there, but it snowed so much that we weren't able to make the trip. We didn't have snow tires or a large enough SUV.

I don't think anyone can get used to the 405...or the 101.....or the 10....or the every other damn freeway!!
