I went to the Hollywood Bowl for the first time, ever! I have indeed lived in LA almost 9 years and never once been there. I've got to say, its my new favorite place, especially because I love picnicking. You bring food and wine and friends and presto- you've got a party! Does it really matter who is playing? Not really. But it helps when they're good bands.
I was mostly there to see Spoon as I think they are pretty rockin'. They played lots of my favorite songs. MGMT is pretty awesome too, although, it would have helped to listen to their album a couple times. Anne told me they would be all dressed up. They weren't but they were still good. I've never been a huge fan of Beck, although I won't change the station if he is on. But there are bands that you love and then you see them in person and you can't listen to them anymore because they kind of sucked and then there are people you've never seen and never really got into and their show is amazing and makes you wanna buy their albums. Beck gives that kind of performance. His father lead the orchestra and the lights and sounds were all great too.
I think I may have eaten too much bread though. I my cheeks are kinda chub chub.
