The hype is palatable...It tastes like anxiety, excitement, confusion, and anticipation...and a bit of peanut butter.

[coldengrey12]

Mmm. Peanut butter.

Hitting Shoreline for the first time this year...just grabbed some instants from the WH on a whim. Didn’t check this thread first/see the post above, oh well.

What should I expect? Any suggestions or tips from some Shoreline vets?

The venue is basically surrounded by the Googleplex at this point. If you're not staying local, leave plenty of time for transit. Those roads can get clogged up.

There's a big, free parking lot across the street from the venue to the east where there's lots of tailgating, if that's your thing. I'm not a big tailgater, but I think they are strict about alcohol.

Inside, the lawn is huge. There's photo galleries from past performers and Bridge School Benefit concerts. Concession fare is Bay Area pricing, so on the high end price wise.

It's the Bay Area, so dress in layers. It might be warm in the daytime, but you're gonna wish you have a sweater, blanket or jacket come nightfall. You're less than a mile from the water.

You bet!

Here's a pic (not mine) to give you an idea how it looks inside:

Edit: And, yes, you can rent those low-back chairs that say RENTAL on them. The last time I bought them, I think they were $5 each. I think. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Right on, looks like a cool venue. I just did some instant Tix through the WH, so I’m not sure where my seats will be. Reserved for sure.

Hey thanks for the insight! See ya there!

[MiniDingo]

Any good bars or restaurants fairly close to the venue?

[pzamps210]

Anybody got any extra premiums??

[fromchicago252]

I don't know about you guys...but I'm getting really really excited for this show! My GF is not a DMB fan, but got us tickets for my 30th birthday. She's never seen them live and I'm hoping this will convert her.

I haven't seen DMB since the N1 Greek show and Bridge School Benefit in 2016. Seeing the setlists coming out of the opening nights has me pumped and ready! Hoping they move away from some of the Stand Up tunes in the near future, but it sounds like their playing is on point right now.

go to the Sports Page, cool outside patio area, very close to the amp

they dont allow tailgating, we usually head over to local bar Sports Page for a few cold ones before heading in. My friend's brewery local from Berkeley is pouring this year in the venue, Fieldwork, give it a try. Agree to leave plenty of time for getting in, but its Saturday so the Google drones will not be there so shouldn't be too bad. If driving, when on Shoreline BLvd, stay in the center lane (or left most lane) if at all possible, it will get you into the better free lot.

Super excited they announced the Fieldwork bar at Shoreline! It'll be packed...but it's better than getting some AB InBev faux craft BS.

Right now I'm only seeing DMB at Shoreline, but I may add Dead & Co on 7/3. Still TBD on that one....It'll be a fun way to kick off the 4th of July!

Hitting up this venue for the first time.

The no tailgating thing will be weird.

Ended up catching Dead & Co there on 7/3. Great show, but boy was the lawn packed!! I don't remember the last time I've seen it so packed.

A few things to note:

1) BEER - They have added extra concessions at the top of the lawn. There are now 4 tents (2 on each side of the skybar) that sell canned beer and snacks. The beer selection throughout the venue was HUGE. I saw Firestone 805, (4) types of Fieldwork, at least (6) types of 21st Amendment, and then you're typical big beer brands (coors light, bud light, shocktop and their faux craft offerings.) Tons of wine and hard alcohol, even Jello Shots. Really amazed how many alcohol choices they had.

2) The Fieldwork bar is right by the main entrance and has 4 beers on tap. We got to the show on 7/3 late and there was 0 wait once the show had started. They had TV's and were pumping audio into the bar. A 16-20 oz pour was $17...so Bay Area prices to say the least. I had a juicy IPA from them and loved every minute of it.

3) Security has metal detectors, but they were fairly chill. Keep that in mind when coming in.

4) The lawn is weird. Going from back to front, the lawn has a steeper slope towards the back and then levels out as you get closer to the rail. If you're too close to the rail, people's heads will block the stage once everyone stands up. My sweet spot has always been about 30 feet to the side of big green projector boxes in the field.

5) Sound can be patchy in some places. We sat close to the spot I called out above and had great sound quality for the show.

6) They allow outside food! Bring your snacks and munchies so you're not paying for a school cafeteria chicken patty sandwich.

7) Parking/Getting to the Venue - On the day of, Google maps had told us to take Amphitheater Parkway and then turn left onto Shoreline Blvd. DO NOT DO THIS!!!!! They close off Amphitheater Parkway at Charleston and make you go left or right. Then we had to backtrack and take a left onto N. Shoreline Blvd to get to parking....It's better to just take N. Shoreline Blvd. off the freeway and keep in the right lane.

8) Lastly, if you're coming close to the start of showtime and aren't trying to get parking in Lot B (closest GA Parking) stay in the right lane, turn R onto Crittenden Ave. It will take you around the Google complex, onto a dirt road and then into the back of Lot E. About 10% of the people were turing right here while everyone else was going all the way around and taking what I can only assume was North Road or something similar.

[AllifromOhio]

Good advice. Thank you for the info.
