    Any feedback on the VIP area?
    is the viewing area ok?
    are there other places to go stand if it’s not?

    Not too bad so far. The free food is fairly good especially the non-meat chicken fingers. We have not bought the food that you need to pay for so cannot comment.
    Drink lines are short. Prior to Eddie coming on last night the lines got a little longer but still went quickly.
    Grandstand seating area is really good if you are on the far right side. Not a huge seating ares but the closer to the right / stage has worked for us. You do get cut off a bit so it will be tough to see Mike and Jeff tonight but big screen right in front of the VIP seating area. 
    Lots of standing room area against the fence separating VIP and GA but probably already getting busy along the fence.

    So I’m in the VIP area. Staying well back, as I’d like to be healthy for next weekend. Much less crowded than GA. Beach area is nice and quiet. Rail is fairly close but is off to the side. Free food is basically some appetizers. Food truck options are limited but the tomato/basil pizza is decent if maybe not quite worth an hour wait.

    I like the less crowded feel. Your mileage may vary.

    Yola was great I thought, and Celisse was shredding. :)

    Okay, highlight of the weekend thus far is Brandi Carlile going from “The Joke” straight into Soundgarden with Mike and Matt. Her whole set has been awesome.

    I was at SHN last week and tonight blew that away. Retrograde was a great opener, much better than DOTC. The Brandi Carlile guest spot on Betterman was phenomenal. I also thought the performances were generally tighter. And then there was the absolutely epic version of Black in the encores. 

    Great night.

    The curfew at Ohana is a hard curfew. They were going to play another song but Ed saw there wasn’t enough time.

    Fully agree.  I would also add it’s nice to comment on one of your comments about the shows and not about whether shows will be allowed! Can’t wait for the Encore weekend.

    I bet they close with YL at the end of the Ohana run next Saturday.
