Another great small theater....
-
It's actually quite large about 8,000 capacity. It's sold out tonight ! I was there once during KTGC tour 2008. Great memories. Looking forward to being there this afternoon. I 'm totally spoiled after 2 nights in SF. Right upfront standing dead center to Mark. I don't know I'll like being confined to my seat many rows away. :disbelief :thumbsdown
-
8,000 in comparison to the 20,000 arenas in Vancouver, Seattle, Portland, is half the size.
Though Smallest place I have seen MK is Moore Theater in Seattle, which I think seats 3,000, on the Get Lucky Tour.

Great that there was GA and standing at the SF shows.
It seems that was not allowed at the shows I was in, but maybe I was just too far away.
In previous tours that were MK only, everyone rushed the stage near the end, and I ended up with elbows on the stage a few times.
-
First experience with GA. I could never go for assigned seats anymore ! :thumbsdown :disbelief
There's just too much fun standing upfront !!!!! I stood 7-8 hours solid each day for the past 2 days.
You just can't be at Dylan's shows with your butts on the chair. Sorry !!!

sweetsurrender, not sure if you will get this before your show,
but try to adjust the white balance on your camera.
YOu can either do this manually, or choose one of the preset settings like Spotlight mode ?
With the white faces washed out, this is a common white balance thing.
It really depends on low light ability of your camera.
If you decide to get a new camera, I recommend Panasonic LUMIX ZS20, and use spotlight mode.
You can get it at Amazon or Costco.

Great ! as much as I would live to hear Kingdom of Gold live, I am really gald that YTC is back. This song is the relevation of the year live... I kept listening the fantastic Saskatoon version, with the extended solo. It makes me feel that I am 20 years younger and that DS is playing PONO in front of me :)
There is hope !!

I don't know there's much to write about that hasn't already been written about the shows. Being in an outdoor setting at a beautiful Greek Theatre in Berkeley watching the fogs rolled in was quite a captivating experience. There was not one single seat that wasn't occupied even up on the lawn for GA. Unfortunately, there were some sparsely empty seats during MK's set. You know the feeling of being interrupted by people who came looking for their seats, blocking your views at the height of a great "what it is" solo was quite a tormenting memory that I probably wouldn't cherish. :thumbsdown After being upfront 2 consecutive nights in San Francisco, I could only say that the intensity of the experience wasn't quite exhililating. In my very own subjective opinion, the magic of Mark and the band performance can readily be asorbed when you're close enough to appreciate the genuine talents of Mark's guitar playings, the beauty of each guitar that he uses to create heavenly sounds in our ears, and most important of all, the intense concentrations he exudes through his face and his body as he hits each note on the guitars. Those are memories to behold indefinitely. He's like a magician on stage. He mesmerises and hynotises you. You can't help but ask yourself how in heaven this could be possible. Then, you look at the bigget picture, and feel thankful for his existence. I know I'm totally spoiled now from being at the front in SF.
The acoustic was great at the Greek Theatre. The crowds responded very enthusiatically to Mark's performance. YTC was stunning. I decided to just voice recording the show , forsaking videoing effort as a whole. I'm not close enough to capture anything spectacular. I decided I should just enjoy the moment as it was unfold. It was a good decision. Although I do love to go back reliving the experience visually. Oh, well. People got up dancing at the end to SFA. A couple next to me who are Mk's fans left after a few songs into BD. Being rows away, I was able to observe activities around me. Being at the front, Mark and the band is my only focus. It really puts you in a zone.
I thought this is worth a mention. I went last night with my best friend. She's very much in tunes with people's spiritual levels, you know, seeing auras and stuff of that nature. She uttered something quite incredible about Mark. She said she's never seen anybody with an auras quite like Mark. It's radiating all around him. She said he's such a "healer" and a "giver" . I turned to her and said "heck yeah ! " He has healed so many peoples' lives and has given so much joy and happiness to so many people on this earth, it's such a humble feeling to be at his shows. :clap :thumbsup

The Greek looks wonderful - so jealous.
Glad you took time to enjoy your show rather than worry about video recordings. I know I like to concentrate on the show 100%.
Thanks for the review.

Greek theaters are known for their great acoustics! ;D
Too bad he won't play in a theater in Greece. :think

Too bad indeed. The 2008 Athens concert was one of the best of the KtGC tour IMO and the atmosphere appeared to be fantastic.
-
I have to agree with you dmg, but I am a little biased, since it was the first and only time I saw the man live. The theater was packed and most of the people couldn't tell one song from the next. Only few get-a-lifers. I heard many times requests for DS songs, and to tell you the truth I wanted the concert to last forever and listen to all the fantastic songs that I have missed live for 20 years. (last MK/DS concert was in 1985 and I wasn't there) The theater is upon one of the highest places in Athens, called Lycabetus hill and it is a fantastic place even without a concert. If you ever think of visiting, we will certainly go for a walk and drinks, watching the whole city from up there. And that goes to all of you AMITers!

I won't bore you (or perhaps, anger you) with one particular Berkeley review in full but will highlight this paragraph, which provoked an interesting thought:
It's his new work that truly separates Dylan from once-comparable songwriters -- it's just so much better than anything Neil Young, Paul McCartney, Paul Simon and many other legendary songsmiths have delivered in recent years. I'm just as likely to play one of his newer albums (including his latest, "Tempest," which he ignored in Berkeley) as I am any of his long-cherished classics -- and I certainly can't say a similar thing about any of those other Rock and Roll Hall of Famers.
Why interesting? It's not because it praises Dylan. After all, I've read so many Dylan reviews over the years, "highs" and "lows", that no single review has a great effect anymore. Also, I feel the same about MK as the reviewer feels about Dylan. For me, Mark's more recent work is at least as interesting as his earlier work, perhaps more so. No, it's the thought that maybe (just maybe, no more, no less) Mark feels exactly the same about Bob as that reviewer. If that is the case, then perhaps that will go some way towards explaining why Mark has hooked up with a Dylan tour not just once but for a second time.
Well, I found it an interesting thought, anyway

it seems that Mark has devoted the Don grosh guitar to all recent celtic-rock-guitar stuff : piper, YTC, and now KOG....
ok not only, because before gas and TV is the LP :)

Love the Greek in Berkeley. I was afraid of the weather, so I went just to Sacramento instead of the Greek too. San Francisco Examiner used our site as a reference in their online review! We are IT!

Hi Irisrose,
Could you give the link to the SF review with reference to AMIT. :thumbsup :clap
Sorry, we didn't get to see each other in Sacramento.

Don't get too excited about being mentioned in the "EXAMINER", chaps. In my view, it's likely to be a bit of a con.
I think you will find that the "Examiner" is not a newspaper but a series of on-line websites in which the person who posts the report gets paid each time someone clicks on. There are Examiner sites for other artists, I believe. The Dylan-related one (the one you're showed) is run by Harold Lepidus, who largely pinches bits of information from all sorts of other websites and other sources, recasts the information, adds an entincing headline and sits back and waits for people to click on to it and gets an income.
When he started, he didn't even give proper credit. At least he does that now but it's a small mercy. Don't be flattered. He's using you and gets an income from all your efforts.
As you may have gathered from my previous posts here, I am not given to wild or extravagant statements but, in my view, the guy is a leech. I no longer read any website that is part of this set-up (I think someone runs one for The Beatles) and would discourage others from clicking on, too.
-
Thank you, twm! I think I remember you warning us some time ago about Harold Lepidus and I must remember to avoid falling into the trap in future, but I'm a sucker for enticing headlines! ;D
-
True, same here...good to be reminded....
