I'm definitely fan of the pour-thru style coffee served up by Philz and Blue Bottle, but festival crowds do them no favor. It's a mess. They have the same dis-interested, too-cool-for-school (so...

Whoa! That is an incredible line-up. The potential for band members to jam with each other throughout the night is great too. Shoreline looks like the last stop, so we should have a well oiled...

lots of San Franchella shows going on last night, but I opted for Bad Religion at the Regency (sold out) and couldn't have been happier with my choice. they were so solid and just kicked ass thru a...

you're either in or you're out at this point. right? is the addition of one or two other bands going to make or break your decision to drop nearly $300 on a 3-day pass? for locals, i could see it...

somehow got 2 Eager Beaver tix on my super slow computer. but also had my phone going... question about the iPhone Ticketmast app... is it an app you get in the iTunes store? I went on the mobile...

hey getbetter, don't be a twat. you think anyone wants to hear about your plan to rip off the promoters, the artists and the paying attendees by sneaking in? do your friends tell you how cool it is...

I'd like to see the Giants 2012 World Series trophy make a stop at the festival again, just like it did in 2011. Not sure if any you on here are fans, but when my wife and I tried to see the 2010...

May 10, 11 & 12 new "boutique" festival in NorCal?

UMO was one of my annual Noise Pop (SF) discoveries and I've seen them twice now and definitely recommend checking them out.

Saw this announcement (*calendars for both venues look pretty weak though)....

All service fees will be waived on tickets purchased online from 10am - 10pm on Black Friday, November 23rd to any...

FREE ticket available to see Typhoon/Laura Gibson/Lost Lander at Great American Music Hall tonight. Show is at 9pm. Will meet out front. Saw Typhoon as an opener for Yann Tiersen at GAMH a few...

Had a really good time this year. Weather could not have been better. Clean, glassy surf each morning, followed by beautiful fall afternoon sunlight in the park and great music. Made it down...

^it's not so much the people in the crowd, but the size of the crowd that can be an issue. for me, the best way to enjoy it is to show up relatively early, pick one stage, and basically picnic at...

With Power to the Peaceful being cancelled for a 2nd straight year, you have to wonder if HSBG is also taking a big hit by the City asking for greater and greater fees. Kinda makes me think Outside...

^there do seem to be a disproportionately large number of completely disinterested hip cats in this city with money to burn. why not go burn it at a festival in the park? i mean, if not Golden Gate...

They put on a very solid set. You could tell they were still working it out with the soundboard guy until about halfway into the second song, but by the end of the second song, they had it dialed. ...

I think Stevie Wonder gets the award for largest dance party EVER in San Francisco. His set was so wonderful last night. Every person on the polo field was grooving.

I had a blast all weekend.

You've mentioned this Dr. Dog show a couple of times. Where is it at? If you don't want to broadcast it to the world, feel free to PM me.

FOR ALL IN NEED OF DIRECTIONS

Google maps makes it really easy people. But instead of typing in your location and the festival location, we get someone on every page asking for specific...

pretty good looking schedule. only a few conflicts for me. I really wish that the Grandaddy gig at the Indy was happening on any other night except Sunday. I just don't think I'll be game for a...

Is there a good idea who is going to be closing out Sunday night? Or does Sunday night end a little earlier than the other nights? This will help considerably in my decision on whether to get tix...

^yes

I don't think I saw this one posted...

Morrissey @ Davies Symphony Hall 11/16

*maybe since this is an SF venue and not an Oakland venue he won't cancel?

if there is no line to get in, by all means, untz away. but if there is a line, un-untz yourself away from the thing.

"ranger dave is watering #sutrostage. who do you want to see in lindley meadow?"

#NOT_BECK

This is awesome news. Can't believe they waited on this. WineLands is great too, but beer is much more my go-to at a festival. Can't wait to see the offerings.

the Beach Boys at the Greek on Friday night was pretty special. They played a marathon set of 46 songs. Brian Wilson sounded pretty good on all of his vocals, but the 50th anniv. surely shined thru...

how dare him!

Gotye milking it...

Sept. 6th, Greek Theatre Berkeley

I don't think so. But the GA/Lawn is sold out and that's what I was hoping xanman86 had to offer. There are some pretty pricey face-value tix for this gig. I'd like to see them, but I'm perfectly...

I didn't make it to the Kurt Vile & the Violators show last night at the Fillmore SF and I'm selfishly hoping for an Outside Lands add. I checked their tour dates and it would work...

^Yes. I'm looking for 2 tickets for the Berkeley Greek show. PM me and let me know. I'm in SF and can meet up today.

Drew, any chance you are going to see Kurt Vile & the Violators tonight at the Fillmore? I'm thinking about it, but don't really want to roll solo.

And you're right, age certainly plays a factor....

I was talking about any/all shows, but you're right about a DJ. However, some DJ's have pretty good light shows/productions going, and I like watching those while I dance too. I don't think it has...

there is something about SF folks in general, whether fit the Marina stereotype or the Mission stereotype or whatever, that think it's cool for 1 or 2 people to get up close or in a relatively tight...

It was pretty radical. Never seen a production like that and was very impressed. The sound was good and "the Wall" spanned from the left field foul pole all the way across to where the brick wall in...

I wasn't feeling the acoustic set that much, but it was cool to see them pull it off. I like how they went to Magnolia and drank WINE. Hahaha. They brew some really good beer there. The banter was...

there is no good reason as to why the local box offices weren't selling tickets from the day they went on-sale. the ticketbastard service and in-convenience fees don't support the local economy. I...

5:59:59, assuming they are on time. My experience is that on weeknights, people just forget or can't get out there in time or don't want to deal with the parking, etc. If it were a weekened and...

such a sad day. I will miss MCA and the Beasties. Just won't be the same. I was holding my breath they would come back and headling Outside Lands, but I guess not. May you Rest In Peace MCA.

I...

Grandaddy night show at the Indy please :)

^didn't Big Boi tell us to hold onto our tickets for some special return show?

ditto

This is going to be fun. The headliners are kind of throwing me for a loop, but I suppose it will spread the crowd at the end of each night.

I was the SB Bowl. I thought the performance was solid, but the setlist left much to be desired. It was bittersweet for me, because it was by far the closest I have ever been and we had a great view...

I'm going to Santa Barbara and I'm not concerned about the rain at all. I think it will be a great night no matter what Mother Nature dishes out. Put on a rain jacket and stand close, we'll all be...

one of the food trucks in the "food truck forest" should just be a beer truck with like 12 handles of locally brewed beers on tap. you listening ranger dave!?! make it happen.

oh man, I knew there was another show on the 11th that I saw which was going to conflict! Probably going to get tix for the 12th though. Sounds like a fun night!

^it was a Friday too, so you were probably trying to figure out the logistics to making it to the 23 shows you had tickets to ;)

^ I posted that a few days ago on page 325 of this thread. And Chia, you put up the very next post. But it did seem like everyone was wrapped up in electronic/DJ discussions.

^ at least the speculation is consolidated into a single thread as opposed to the hundred or so people generate for Coachella.
