Starsailor - 330 Ritch

Popscene at 330 Ritch was trying to book more and more live acts to go with their club nights.  This was the first time I got to see one of these acts in the tiny space that is 330 Ritch.  Shout out to Aaron Axelsen who was instrumental in booking and promoting a ton of up and coming bands - it was always fun to get that nod of acknowledgement from him at all those different concerts around town.

Echo & the Bunnymen/Psychedelic Furs - Fillmore

Great double bill of classic 80's bands playing together in an historic venue.  I only wonder how they decided who would play first.

U2 - Oakland Arena

Totally mind blowing.  I had shown up at the arena without a ticket and managed to buy one for a reasonable price (with some help from Rome) from a scalper after the opening band (don't remember who it was) had finished.  I walked onto the floor right before U2 started their set.  It had been 9 years since I'd last seen U2 and I wondered why it had been so long.  9/11 was still fresh in everyone's mind, making for a particularly emotional and spiritual experience.
