Hey, I came over to Los Angeles from the UK earlier in the year to see Social D and Im gonna do it again for the San Diego Street Scene. Has anyone been before to tell me what its like and does anyone know yet which day they will be playing on? [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
the street scene has gone downhill in my opinion from 2 years ago. It used to be in Downtown San Diego in the gaslamp district. It was cool because they closed off 3 or 4 city blocks and set up stages. Now its in the frickin parking lot of the local stadium. They took away all of its soul and character and made it into a circus. Your probably better off making the Hootenany. At least thats back at its original location....the sweltering heat of Oak Canyon ranch.
i say save your money bro.

I somewhat agree with Pits on this one...taking it out of the Gaslamp last year gave it a totally different vibe...and this year it will be even less-like the original version, as it was moved to the parking lot of the football stadium. So, it will feel more like Warped Tour, only with a better line-up!
Social D is playing Friday night this year (like last year). Also on Friday are the White Stripes, the Killers and a few others. Saturday is highlighted by Snoop and the Pixies.
I'll be there...and the hoot too, of course.
Its almost not worth going for me and Im only 90 minutes north. You live in the UK. seriously, blow your money on something way more important. Your lucky, you guys have castle donnington. I would fly to Europe for a show at donnington. Talking about vibe.

<font size="2" face="verdana, arial">In the parking lot?!?!? I was not aware of that. I didn't even know they moved it to the Q until a few days ago. I guess I have been working too much the past few years. All work and no play. Gotta knock that shit off.Originally posted by wolfpits:

<font size="2" face="verdana, arial">That's a bummer they set it up like that. I was at the Scene back in 01 in the Gaslamp. Social D, X, Rollins Band, and Cheap Trick all on the same stage. Killer show. Roudy crowd, but killer show.Originally posted by wolfpits:

I was there too sick boy. 01 was a great year. that year I skipped X to go inside the theater next door to check out the Andy Summers trio. when he was over, i went back outside right when social d was about to go on. Rollins and cheap trick smoked too.
I actually WENT to Street Scene last year, and I have to say I prefered it to the previous year's show. I don't know how it will be at the stadium this year, but they should probably change the name to Parking Lot Scene or something more authentic.
If you can, go to both the Hootenany AND SS.
BTW - just read that Flogging Molly will be at SS!
I'm hoping that Social D will play KROQ's Inland Invasion concert in September ... fingers crossed!
