    I never thought I'd see a thread like this, as they used to play California, and especially the Bay Area, all the time. So many Bridge School Benefit appearances, but that event now seems to be over. At the last Oakland show in 2013, Eddie talked about how much they had played the area in the past but that it seemed like it still wasn't enough. I guess he forgot because it's been almost four years since the last Bridge School appearance by the band and almost five years since the last full show by the band.
    He actually said that he felt that the Bay Area and Northern California were extension of the "Great Pacific Northwest" before kicking into Lightning Bolt.....

    That Oakland show was a winner....anyone remember the Oracle turning on the house lights to try to get the band off the stage after curfew?  They ended up playing at least four songs (maybe more) with the house lights on--essentially saying f-you to the curfew rules (and probably paying a fine of some sort)--

    "I know, it's only rock and roll, but I like it"
    I'm so ashamed that I missed that show, especially since Oracle is about 15 minutes from my house! I hope they play there again and not Giants stadium.
    With the Warriors moving to the City next year, who knows what will become of concerts at Oracle. I'm sure the new arena in SF will be a huge draw for concerts when it opens.
