Just scored tickets for Shoreline Dead n Co. July 3.
Forums:
My wife and I are gonna celebrate our Anniversary with Dead n Co. We did last year at Wrigley field, and it was an absolute blast. This will be our first time at Shoreline, and we can't wait. We scored a hotel nearby, and we'll have a nice relaxing weekend celebrating out 23rd anniversary (July 1, but it's close enough).
I think I'm gonna like living in the Bay Area.

Dead Co is a fun time at Shoreline because you're in the California Bay Area and the scene at the big outdoor GD shoes is tops.
I wish I could see a Frost show.

Schwa I'll be at both nights
Schwa I'll be at both nights w my dad. Would love to meet you in 3d after all these years. I have everything sorted but my tix. I'm a custie so that won't be a problem.
Am also hitting Chula Vista and Folsom Field. I need to see If I Had The World To Give. I'll be pissed if I miss that.

That would be awesome Sandiego!!
I saw the debut of If I Had The World to Give in Columbus last year. I thought it was beautiful. Oteil nailed it, and the band played it with the love it deserves.

I saw the first time that Dead n Co played the rarely played Grateful Dead classic If I Had the World to Give in Columbus. I hope that removed any triggers.
Kxela, I hope I get to meet you there.

Shoreline is a real basic venue but it's still an easy place to have fun. I'm sure that show will be a good time but I'm prob going to pass on D&Co

Sounds like one of those magical concert moments.

It was pretty cool. It was great sharing it with my wife and daughter. I don't think I'd rank it over any of the times I saw the Grateful Dead when they'd do that thing they'd do when they did what they do, but it was a great moment none the less. Thanks for helping me reminisce about it.

We took our son to Shoreline twice. He slept through the second sets.
He rages Hardly Strictly but that ends at 7 each night.

Nice. Thanks for sharing. Reminds me of the time I saw Gotta Jibboo debuted before Farmhouse came out.

The second time I saw Phish
The second time I saw Phish was at Shoreline. I left after the first set because I thought they already played for over two hours.
I did the same thing at the Cow Palace the first time I saw them.
When you don't know their songs they seem longer.

The first time I saw Phish it was great. I could have done without the 42 minute strobe light/mini trampoline segment, though.

>>>Enjoy the $14 watered down beers<<<
Shoreline ain't no great shakes, but in the interests of keeping it real, the beers aren't watered down and you get 20oz for your $14, which isn't a bad deal for a large venue.
>>>Meet at the Totem Pole<<<
It's a Healing Pole, not a Totem Pole.
And Schwadude, I'm guessing you bought lawn tix. While it's possible to have a good time on the lawn at Shoreline, IMO it's almost impossible to really enjoy a concert as a concert on that massive sloping hill.
If you can get into seats that's where you want to be in that venue. Anywhere in the 100s are damn good, the front half of the 200s work, and even the last seat in the farthest corner is better than the front of the lawn.
IMO.

I heard there's a nice
I heard there's a nice courtyard area up top that is flat. How's the sound up there? I was reading Deadbase, I think, and a review mentioned having speakers up there at GD shows. Maybe that was just a one off thing, but if that's the case, that sounds cool.
How does the hill compare to Alpine Valley?

The worst hill I had to
The worst hill I had to endure during a show was the Hillside Stage hill at Merlefest. You almost needed rappelling gear to navigate that thing.

There's no "courtyard" at the
There's no "courtyard" at the top of the Shoreline lawn. It's called the Sky Bar and that's pretty much what it is.
The sound is OK on the lawn, but not powerful at all.
But hey, I'm being a Debbie Downer here. You're going to a show!!! It will be great!!!
(But if you can sneak down into the seats it will be better)

Thanks for the clarification,
Thanks for the clarification, Lance.
To tell you the truth, I was trying to remember if there was any pole there at all...I remember meeting some great Zoner friends for the first time there (folks like Hedspace, Emily, and others).
Funny thing, my show memory (or lack thereof) is during some of these rugband shows.

Actually I am no expert on
Actually I am no expert on healing or totem poles. It could well be that one can be both.
I was just told a long time ago that the particular pole in question is a healing pole, and that a totem pole tells the story of a village and a healing pole tells the story of a family or person.
Or visa versa.
Or something like that.
It is a damn cool pole though, whatever it's called. It's worth the time to take a close look at that thing to see all the intricate details.

I went to Shoreline in '89 and '90 when there was inside vending and never went into the actual Amphitheatre area. The pictures only tell part of the story. Lance tells the rest.
