Gwen Stefani, yes please.

I met her back before No Doubt blew up. Her, the Aquabats, Save Ferris, man OC was awesome back then.

Saw an oldies concert there with Lou Christie and the Beach Boys many, many moons ago. Was a great venue.

Remember the Palladium, Fillmore (SF) and Fillmore East, CBGB, and many more.

Is anybody doing anything today like the Pink Floyd and Genesis concerts that is not an actual tribute to those very bands (e.g. Brit Floyd)?

I don’t remember ever seeing her play an instrument.

I remember when it was basically a tradition for Oingo Boingo to play Irvine Meadows on or near Halloween. That was a blast!

Wow, I didn’t know this was closing. Dropped many a penny at the venue going back to the earliest days. The Who, REM, The Kinks, Ringo Star’s All Stars Band just to name a few.

Have no fear. My brother is the a Project Manager on the Orange County Great Park, Sports Park.

OC Great Park Sports Park

We were talking about Irvine Meadows the other day. He said that there were plans for an similar amphitheater at the park along with a pro soccer stadium.

I believe the park is where the old El Torro Marine Air Base used to sit.

Hey So Cal Freepers.

I live a mile from The Coach House in San Juan Capistrano. A venue that holds around 350. This weekend “Three Dog Night”, next weekend “America”. Wife and I have seen many cover bands: Stones, Johnny Cash, Fleetwood Mac, Heart. All entertaining. Plus a few up and coming acts as well.

For the big stuff, just came back from Desert Trip near Palm Springs for a three day festival.

So sad! Just what we need in Southern California - more “apartment houses.”
