    Although I'm not thrilled about the venue choice (and only one show at that) I will be there! Was hoping for more Berkeley shows. One can dream...

    I have never been to Shoreline, but haven't heard great things.

    It is practically in my backyard so I can't complain. I would have loved another Greek run though!

    Yeah it isn't the greatest venue and, for me, it is over an hour away as I'm in the walnut creek area.

    Glad they're back at Shoreline. Greek is to uncomfortable. It's my belief you shouldn't have to arrive at a venue 7 hours before the show to get a somewhat decent seat. I much prefer assigned seating.

    MUCH prefer the Greek. The sound is so much better. Shoreline is and always has been an exhausting venue. At least the lawn doesn't catch on fire anymore...

    Ha! This. Yes I don't know too many people who like shoreline either. I've seen dave at a LOT of venues across the country and shoreline isn't on the top of that list. While the GA seating at the Greek is a pain, the sound is phenomenal.

    Got WH requests in for this show and Tahoe to follow the Gorge, before a long road trip back up to Montana. This will be the first summer we've toured post-Gorge!

    Is it cheating if I take the over and intentionally make it more than 5 pages by show time? This is my home venue.

    Definitely cheating.


    Love this venue. Been the last three times they've had it here, and threw Bridge School in for kicks the Caravan year. It's just a dead zone of a thread every year.

    I'll still take the over. What do I win if this thread goes over 5 pages without me "cheating."

    You know us CA people - we're just a little more laid back.

    The tailgating scene isn't that great at Shoreline. Cops patrol the lots heavily to make sure alcohol isn't being consumed.

    We usually pre-game at The Sports Page a few blocks from the venue. It's a local fave sports bar and within walking distance of the venue.

    Fair enough.

    I haven't ever been to a show here, but I do work for a small company that is right next to the venue and I know that on concert nights traffic is absolutely horrendous.

    Yes that's the place. It isn't fancy, but they usually have some good drink specials and beers on tap and it sure beats the prices inside the venue.
