I saw STP at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles and they were awesome!
It was totally a greatest hits show, but the band was really into it, Scott was very grateful and awestruck by the crowd/venue, and the entire show was a giant sing-along.
Definitely one of the better shows I have been to, and I wasn't even expecting much going in.
On a PJ-related note, why has Pearl Jam never played the Hollywood Bowl? I'm positive that they could sell out the place, no problem, and it's probably the most beautiful venue in all of Southern California.
I want PJ at the Hollywood Bowl, soon!
PJ at the Bowl would suck. I was at the STP show and unless you're lucky enough to be close to the stage the sound and view is horrible. I've seen Radiohead there before too.
Bottom line is it's a beautiful venue nestled in the hills but the sound is the worst. I believe it's because they can't crank it up as loud as a normal outdoor venue because it's so close to so many homes. I could literally talk to my friend at a normal level while the show was going on and hear her and vice versa..
I just don't understand why anyone would want to see these guys. They have a handful of memorable tunes, but I've seen bar bands with better lead singers, what with his silly suits and complicated shoes.
Nice Seinfeld reference. I'm surprised no one picked up on it.

I know I've always thought that and of course they could they usually play at least 2 nights in the LA area unless they're playing San Bernandino which is 65k. Strange they've never played it, ya woulda thought they'd want too.
