Nice post "G"...I see you pimpin your town...so I got to get down...in the state capitol of Cali. it's very sad that we dont have that "killer" venue that drops your jaw, but the closes we can come up with is "The Crest Theatre"....seats a 1000, great sound system and not one bad seat....beautiful and restored to its 1930 look....ask Robben Ford, Larry Carlton and Derek Trucks to name a few who have come through here...next would be "The Memorial Auditorium", but the sound system is sub par...last would be "Arco Arena", seats 14,000 for a gig, you would only do this place if your looking for a buck...it's notorious for the "echo" effect...hopefully the new mayor Kevin Johnson can pull some money out of his NBA buddies and get a multi purpose venue built...there is plenty of money in the private sector here, but poor leadership, so hopefully KJ can get things rolling, he swears he will...I'm willing to drop down some money if thats what it takes to help build it....I'm thinking JB will be looking at 1000 person minimum after his next album comes out...he's really on a roll, doesnt look to be slowing in popularity...I'll crash the streets of Sactown to get him here, I havent gave up...the biggest music event for years was 'The Heritage Festival", we had some big names come through here, but someone starting skimming and lying out there **** , and it went under, only to come back as a very weak 2 day snooze fest of mainly locals who you can see for free on most nights during the year
Go back to San Francisco Joe!...."The Fillmore", your much to good to have never played there....Me and the Dawg pound will get the troups ready
