    Playing those two rarities was probably Ed's way of rewarding the diehards that travelled a long way to see them. I personally have had enough of Glen.

    The vibe was immaculate, overall. The only changes I would make in retrospect:

    - Oceans as opener into Garden
    - scratch Wreckage & play Got to Give
    - Untitled into MFC
    - Upper Hand after Won't Tell
    - Tr*mp can go to hell, but that whole rant could've been 30 seconds. Valuable song time!
    - didn't need to single out STBC/Animal nerd with the sign. More valuable song time.
    - Smile after Gremmie
    - scratch RITFW, and do Ledbetter or Fuckin' Up


    A tight 24 in 2 hrs. But whatevs. WE got Gremmie🤙🏄‍♀️🌊

    Agree x 2

    Was irritated by the attention seeking kid with drumming sign. He sucked too much time out of 2 shows. 
    Alanis was force to be reckoned with!
    And what can I say about Stone and Gremmie...

    Ed rant, which I agree with 100%, was much too long this time.. cost us a song for sure. 
    Wonder if this was the same dude from Philly 2.  Was a few rows in front of us and held that sign up wayyyyyyy too much.  I was screaming at him to put it down but he didn't much care.  
    Playing drums on Animal topped anyone standing behind him who would not be able to see the stage for big patches of time.

    Same one..he was in row in front of me in Philly driving everyone nuts

    I just don't get people doing that.  
    Inbetween songs or running up at set break or something?
    I guess ok then?  
    Hold in front of you, though, not over your head
    ...so you can see but nobody behind you can.

    8th show this tour, 33rd overall and I think this Ohana weekend topped MSG/LA/LV for me. The band didn’t go through the motions and phone it in just because it was a festival, this had more of a PJ20/unique experience feel. Plus it doesn’t hurt to be seeing them play on the beach with beautiful weather. 

    After mixing it up night 1, they did it again with Garden, Off He Goes (acoustic), Last Exit, MFC, I Got Id, Big Wave and then Gremmie! Seeing Stone yell Cowabunga and dance could’ve been my favorite PJ moment ever.

    I do agree with everyone that Ed spoke way too long post Better Man and kinda sucked the life out of RVM. I know it was a nice gesture to bring Harper on stage but wasn’t the biggest fan of that in the encore. Also no one loves Glen more than me but Song of Good Hope is also a downer. So a lengthy speech then 2 covers to start the encore kinda dampened what could’ve a perfect night - but it was still an excellent night.

    And why do these jokers think they deserve a chance to play with a professional band?  Guys don’t ask to pitch an inning at a baseball game or play wide receiver for a play.  Just stop already.

    Because it’s happened several times already so now people think if they are persistent they’ll get up there like this guy. Surprised someone didn’t rip it down one of the nights but I wasn’t watching to see how often he was holding it up.

    Can't an usher do something about that? If someone is holding up a sign long enough where multiple people are complaining doesn't that qualify for a warning?

    Agreed. If someone tall is in front of you, nothing you can do there, I’d be happy to move and get a better spot, a sign!? Needs to be taken down!

    And it’s become a thing and is done to other bands and people get on youtubeeeee etc. 

    I think Gene Simmons brought up people for three songs at his show this summer. The only fun one was the last kid who clearly only knew a bit of drumming and went rouge and crashed the song. Fun as in hopefully it was a lesson to Gene.

    My 7yo daughter and I did the first two nights inside, mostly hanging in the back sand so she could play and dance. When buying tickets way back whenever, I didn't check to see when her fall break was so wasn't planning on Sunday. Turns out it's this week, so we can tacked on another day... Only, no more tickets by the time I knew :/

    So, we parked in town, hoofed it in and set up a big blanket outside on the beach. If coming with the family, I'd 100% do that again at least one day of the festival. Loved the sand people shout outs! 

    My kid got to spend even more time at the beach, we could hear just fine, there's food and drinks available at the Doho Cafe, and the bathroom lines were non-existent. You can bring your own food and drinks, there's no security, and because of that, there's lots of cool, chill people behind the fencing. 

    If I could change anything about last night, it'd be to have gotten there esrlier for better parking, or I'd have planned it better and gotten shuttle passes. So glad we stayed the extra day!

    I'd say there were a few hundred of us. A lot were locals and many had biked in. Didn't feel terribly crowded.

    Probably 20 or so boats out watching in the harbor, too.

    That's so cool.  Gotta let Ed know to shout the Boat People out too.

    This was my first Ohana Festival and my mind is blown.  One of the best concerts in my entire life (I'm 42).  The band sounds better than ever.  The sound was perfect.  Props to the sound engineers, and wtf are those speakers?!?!  Are they new?  The speakers were amazing.  Every song performed at Ohana sounded better than the 2 LA shows.  And of course the spectacular venue on the beach.  What an incredible show.

    When Ed announced the rare song, I thought for a second that they were actually going to play Hummus!  But I'll take Gremmie and Whale song any day over Hummus!

    I discovered the Tree People on the first night, and loved it so much that I made it my base.  Not too crowded and nicely elevated.

    I Got Shit was great. First time since 2016 for me…Big Wave first since 2013. Gremmie was REALLY well done and absolutely loved Stone. They sound fucking great as usual. Ed said he wasn’t gonna speak much and then talked for half the show 😂 Rockin’ both nights?? 

    I got shit is my absolute favorite...they played it at Ohana in 2021 too. I assume because of the sea reference which Ed talked about Sunday night.

    I scratched Big Wave and Gremmie off my list. Sure wish I would have scratched Got to Give.

    One thing about the parking: if you're parking at the beach lots, it's not necessarily a matter of getting there early because people are coming and going throughout the day. I got there after 6 p.m. on Sunday and found a spot because someone was leaving.
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    If you really have to drive, which you all should consider not doing, why not just park at the transfer point of the dana point trolley? And just take that back to the car at night?

    I'll definitely consider next year.  This year I was a bit short on planning.
