AT&T Park – San Francisco Bay

Tonight I’m going to see Roger Waters perform The Wall at AT&T Park (just to the left of center in this photo) in San Francisco. This will be an amazing event.

Ghosty Fox Theater

I have to admit it. Had Ghost, Mastodon, and Opeth been playing anywhere else in the San Francisco Bay Area I don’t think I would have bothered to make the (300+ miles each way) trip. Seeing them in the Fox Theater is why I made the journey. The Fox Theater has so much personality and so much history. Ghost looks that much more in character in a place like this. The reverse is also true. The Fox Theater looks like it was built for bands like Ghost, Mastodon, and Opeth. The giant, gold statues flanking each side of the stage would not be out of place on a Mastodon album cover.

After the show

Oakland has a curfew of 11:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday nights. Opeth finished things up promptly at 11:30, but it seemed a shame to just go home with my all access pass still in effect so I headed back up to the stage for some photos of the now vacated Fox Oakland Theater.

This photo is actually five pictures taken vertically with an ultra-wide angle lens and then photomerged together in Photoshop CS5.

Mastodon @ Fox Theater in Oakland, California

I just got back from my trip to Oakland to see Ghost, Mastodon, and Opeth. Things went even better than expected. Here is a photo of Mastodon onstage in the beautiful Fox Theater.

Tonight I get to see Bill, and the rest of Mastodon, for the first time since last summer’s Roskilde Festival when I took this photo.

Mastopeth’s Ghost

In just 48 hours I will be on the road, heading south into California for the third time in the past month. This time it will be to photograph Mastodon, Opeth, and Ghost at the beautiful Fox Theater in Oakland. Next week I’ll publish some of those pics here.

Today’s photo of Opeth is from the Getaway Rock Festival last summer in Sweden.
