Re: *** Official San Francisco 2/4/16 ***

Surprised no one has mentioned the improv jam towards the end of the show, I believe it was after 41. That, Warehouse, and Crush were special high points. Also helped that cover songs & their two worst albums didn't make a single appearance. We expected a radio setlist, bonus to get solid song placement with a strong opener & closing run.

Dave brought up that a great friend happened to be in the building,
didn't want to reveal his name, only that he was really good looking.

Low point easily goes to Mercy. Dave on piano for this song might be their most embarrassing musical moment. Just unbearable to hear and brutal to watch. I agree crowd was lifeless a few times, especially during Ditch & the encore. At the end of the night Dave held up his guitar pic for a moment then turned and tossed it towards the drums. Still a great night, definitely more good moments than bad. San Francisco has always treated me well and this trip did not disappoint, great time with old friends and new.

Also, Dave mentioned loosing hair on his head...
but now it grows on his back.

    Venue was cool for uniqueness sake. Not the best fit for DMB, but I love small venues so I would go again. It didn't help that this was the first show ever to be held at this recently renovated warehouse. I am sure they learned a lot in one night and logistics will go smoother by Red Hot Chili Peppers on Saturday.

    Other shows have been there before, I think they added the multi-levels for this weekend, the Yelp reviewers didn't care for it

    Re: *** Official San Francisco 2/4/16 ***

    The story of getting into the warehouse at Pier 70 from the guy who worked front security all day... people started lining up at 9am, and someone from the venue gave them golden wrist bands to assure they would get in first. Then someone from warehouse showed up and said something along the lines of "ugh nope" and everyone with warehouse ticket was let ahead into the first level of check in. That's when the head of line started swelling into the street. An hour later a second group of warehouse ticket holders was rounded up and moved across the street, yet just before they are let in the golden wristbands pleaded their case again and are let in. Then more warehouse tickets are let in. Then everyone else.

    So you make it through the first gate where they tell you if you are allowed in, onto the next line where they wand you and bag search, onto the next where they scan your ticket, onto the next where they give you a fancy wristband, onto the next where they scan your new fancy wristband and you can't enter until the light turns green. If all the checking in isn't enough there is a coat check.

    It is quite a walk into the venue and you eventually descend down several sets of poorly lit steel stair cases, which I have to imagine took down more than a few victims. Plenty of pros and cons for sure, but uniqueness factor plays big. Afterwords the cops working out front said for the venue it was the first concert of this size and that they weren't expecting the turnout.

    Those stairs were a fucking menace. Way too small, unlit, not exactly coated in traction....

    I think you were supposed to hold it over just one of your eyes when looking at the projections on the outside of the building. The projections were really cool without the blue filter, I didn't think the filter made it much better.

    I said the same exact thing, they tried to say they thought the crowd would come in a steady stream, but the police probably have no idea the venue wouldn't let people in first come first serve. You had all these levels of check points inside the venue, but they did nothing to manage a line for the thousands of people waiting in the street.

    ^ I bet. That sounded like a ton of fun.

    I noticed it hadn't sold out as of the other day. I think people underestimate/forget the number of hits Pharrell has had his name attached to. Dude is an encyclopedia of singles from this century.

    Once we actually got in to the place, it was a pretty neat venue. I think it would have been better if the raised levels were farther back, letting more people into the floor area without their view being blocked and the sound sucking, or let less people in.


    The show was fine; actually much better than I was expecting.

    The line made that huge surge forward into those cattle pens as Allison and I were walking up to where you were in line, and we couldn't find y'all. So we just hung back with Jon's group.


    Also took a minute for me to buy that hideous poster once we got inside.

    The tablets they were using to process credit cards all shitting the bed pretty early on was a nice twist.

    I didn't find my secret stash of cash in my wallet till the show was almost over.

    First time posting, long time listener...

    I actually didn't like the venue at all. Lots of pushing and shoving, one almost fight, the second and third floors cut off sight lines for a ton of us that didn't want to push our way into the crowd. I would much rather see them at the Greek, or at the D&T show at the Paramount.

    I enjoyed the music, though and am really looking forward to the Greek in August!
