In past few weeks I saw two big tours in Mountain View Shoreline Amphitheater. The place itself is quite nice for concerts. And what I love about US is that you can have your beer wherever you go in the concert area (the same goes with sports events). In Finland there are dedicated areas for drinking in both music and sports events.
The two concerts I saw were Ozzfest and Projekt Revolution Tour. I had lawn tickets for both of those concerts as I was late in getting the tickets, better seats were already gone. I must say that in the future I have to consider twice before going to concert to the Amphitheater if I don't get a good seat. The lawn is so far away from the stage that it's difficult to see much anything, especially as the lawn is not steep enough to see over other people. And the volume of the music up there is also quite low.
In comparing these two events I have to say Ozzfest was better. Although I preferred the bands in Proj Rev Tour over the one's in Ozzfest, the atmosphere was far better in Ozzfest...people were more involved. I think this was partly due to the fact that in Ozzfest the volume of the music was at least a bit louder up in the lawn. But then comparing these two events to any major Rock festival in Finland I was amazed on how small video screens these guys had. I mean they were the size of a stamp! There would've been room for screens at least three times the size of the one's used.
I shot some video from the concerts. Here are the best shots of the main acts and organizers of those two tours.
