DMB Concert review

As I sit on the wet lawn in the dark listening to a band I have never heard before I wonder why I am here. The Dave Matthew Band concert at Shoreline Amphitheatre was one of my first concerts and I was not impressed. I was seated on the lawn, which is just a big open space that anyone can sit anywhere. Also it is hard to see the stage from the lawn, unless you walk right in front and look over the edge to the stage. The screens that were set up so the people sitting in the lawn could see were only placed at the center, making it hard for everyone besides those sitting in the center of the lawn to see the screens. The lawn was crowded, and I would suggest to pay for the more expensive seats so you can see the band and not be sitting on other people’s stuff since the lawn was also very unorganized. As I left I wanted to get a shirt, and almost left without one since there were only three people working that booth and it was taking at least twenty mintues to acquire a shirt. The problem was letting people pay with credit cards. Having to wait for the transaction to process held up the line incredibly. The parking in general was atrocious. It was easy to park, however after getting out of your car, the walk seemed to be a mile and in the dark. And if you forgot where you parked, that sucks since there were many different places to park and more rows of cars then any of us would want to count. Watching DMB (Dave Matthew Band) I could not tell if they were having a good for bad performance and I felt for away from the music. In the end it was quite and experience to have to sit through two hours of DMB sitting on the Shoreline lawn.
