Here's a link to an info page on the Greek Theatre in Berkeley, with a satellite photo, from a Dave Matthews Band site.
I guess it's not ALWAYS general admission, but it often is. With the way Chickenfoot have been doing things, I bet they'd go GA with early entry for package people.
It's shaped just like any outdoor concert venue, but there aren't seats...it's an open floor in front, then a series of cement risers, and a lawn in the back. So it looks like an amphitheater you'd see at a campground (something like this), but much bigger...it holds 8,000 people.
The stone risers and floor area do have seat numbers painted on them, but a lot of shows there are sold entirely as GA. So you can either stand on the floor up front or pick any seat or lawn spot to watch the show from.
It's a really cool way to experience a show. And it'd be a great place to get a big group together...it's on the edge of the UC Berkeley campus, as I said before, so there are a lot of great food options within walking distance.

Cap : ahah.
_______________________
Saw that you are talking about Slash.
With all my recognition for his cool feeling, & even if i think that nobody could replace him into a configuration like GNR, the truth is that he has brought nothing at all to guitar playing.
Obviously..
Also wondering why nobody is mentionning at least mr Steve Howe, historic guitar player of YES?
I'd also find very weird that almost everybody is talking with evh about tapping, forgetting the essential : EVH is probably the more insane rythmical player of story of Rock. The first one who has been able to make swing hardrock. & Since? No one has really taken the succession.
Last thing, as i've said it several time here, the Strateinstein has definitly changed the electric guitar conception.
Charvel was looking for. Eddie has found.
& then, Ibanez is come.
That what we call history.
Back to Joe.. how could we resume a so melodical & lyric musician to shred?

I decided a couple of weeks ago that I'm going to get the sheet music (not the tabs, the actual sheet music) to the main riff of "The Crush of Love" tattooed on my arm.
Problem is that I can't find sheet music for it anywhere and I can't transcribe it myself.
Bummer.

Roy : each single guitar player has just to discover what is inside him.. all the rest hasn't really something to do with music.
I personnaly think that guitar world is rotten by lot of things which have nothing to see with music.
Vai? He has learnt guitar playing with Joe, composition & musical freedom with Zappa, Show with Lee Roth. He's a lucky man. He's a showman, a guitar hero, but above all, we know, he's a great composer.

Anorexia? weird idea..
Lot of have dreamt to be Hendrix, EVH, Satch, Vai, instead of being themselves.. well.. things must go this way.. i supppose.

Hey, this morning my wife was offered some free football tix! Australia v japan. I'm standing just inside the gates charging my iPhone in the wall socket I just found. Looks like sweet seating, level 1 premium, haven't seen the seats yet. I have a spare if anyone can get down here in the next hour. Kickoff at 8:20pm. Should be awesome!<br>Roo<br>

Just a quick reminder that Chickenfoot is on Rockline tonight at 8:30 p.m. Pacific (same time as the T2J clock):
http://www.rocklineradio.com/
The site says the interview was pre-recorded, so we won't be able to call in.
A list of stations that carry Rockline can be found here.
San Francisco's 107.7 The Bone carries the show, so we can all listen to their online stream just like we do for their other Satch-related stuff.

Zf:we been through all that.Anorexia or self-starvation is rife in the music industry.This game of russian rulette to meet an esthetic end for stage & photo needs addressed n stamped the fuck out imo, yet another drug of choice for many singers & guitarists, but this one is invisible, potent & deadly.Have you ever spoken t someone or have a friend with anorexia? might as well put a blender in your brain, crazy logic

Do The Stu - just quickly, the alarm went off to Chris Moyles Breakfast show on BBC Radio 1 as normal... and they're talking about burgers and where's the best place they've had them....
First prize to In & Out... an amusing way to start the day - I guess In & Out wins hands down around the world then!?

Hi everyone....
Skippygirl - well one thing you can guarentee is that I will be jumping up and down singing screaming waving etc etc!!! LOL
Scubadaz - I am travelling with others who have seats, so I dont think they will be in a hurry to get there early, if it was down to me I would probably start queueing about 2 as well...I do for Paul!...
haha...a work colleague had a bad reaction to something over the weekend resulting in a hot itchy rash and a puffed up face...she has got some antihistimines from the doctor...it says on the front..
"does not cause drowsiness!"
but on the side effects it says
"may cause tiredness or sleepiness, itching or rash!"
how funny is that!
hugs Satriella xx
ooooo this time next week I will be sitting in a theatre ready to rock out to "We will Rock you" YAY!!!!!

Men to women ratio at shows... My first couple of Joe Satriani shows, the ration was about 90/10 men over women. I remember the line for the mens room going on forever, and I had maybe 3 ladies in front of me for the ladies room. That was the first time *I* had to wait for my hubs. lol! That's changed quite a bit over the years. I remember at one show we were walking up the stairs from the restrooms, and some dude I've never met made a comment that my husband probably dragged me to the show. He's lucky to be alive today. Bitch betta rekanize! lol! Dunno why, but that still pisses me off to this day. lol! Da noive ah dat guy! Bam ZOOM!
Today's song in my head is Oh Yeah. It's on auto-play in my brain. I haven't even listened to any music yet today.
Time for some eggs, toast & coffee. I'm hungry!
1...2...3...4...
My love for percussion started way back with bands like Rare Earth :-) 2:41 never gets old! I was like 7-8 years old when this came out, and my dad had cool psychedelic lights and all that hippy stuff going on. Love those memories...
Here's a perfect example! That bunch of crusty dudes were the shit!

Monterrey Trace - Missed your post at first but got it on catch up! We had a good holiday thanks. Eithne's heart problem is resolved and she's near enough back to normal. (Except for back probs after spine surgery some years ago), thanks very much for asking. Son continues to test my patience and sanity!
As far as the Foot show goes, darn thing was sold out before I asked the boss if she wanted to go.

Cappy, have you informed the young lad that long periods at sea are and always have been the backbone of your great nation and that perhaps he should share in that tradition????
Excellent news re the wifey....

Do the Stu - Ya. I was in my first year in the Navy when Appetite for Destruction came out. The guitar work was really good on that cd. It's funny to hear Slash talk about how much he hated the riff for Sweet Child O Mine. I will try to think of my top 25 guitarists and list them and why.
Blue Moon brings up a good point also with Buckethead. He has all the potential to really put his mark on the guitar world, but it just seems like he'd rather keep low key. he's a freak, but he's amazing too.

Hi.
I saw an interview of yours and saw that you had a music teacher that taught you music theory, modes/scales etc. I was just wondering how I could start out learning them? I've been playing guitar for a while but never went into music theory and I really feel like I've hit a wall in my learning.
There is nobody near me that teaches music theory or anything. I was looking online but there's just so much I have no idea where to start. Do you think you could maybe give me some pointers please?
Thanks,
Nathan

Anybody see the hilarious story of the teenager who allegedly fell asleep while getting her FACE tattooed? Now, anybody that has tattoos knows damn well that unless yer heavily sedated yer not going to fall asleep while yer getting 56 stars on yer FACE! lmao! That's like saying you can nap while getting yer teeth pulled - it ain't gonna happen! lol! Crazy kid had a fun idea until daddy & boyfriend wigged out, then it was storytime. I hope the tattoo guy gets tons of bidness from this press, and the girl lives happily tattooed ever after. lol! 18 and getting her face tattooed - she's soooo grounded! lol!
