This was my first time going to the Greek Theater in Griffith Park, and I can tell you it won't be my last! I had so much fun at the theater plus the experience was even better seeing some of my favorite country artist such as Brantley Gilbert and Jack Ingram.
Seeing I had never gone to the Greek Theater I had no clue what to expect when pulling up and how parking was going to be! And to be quite honest it wasn't that bad. My friends and I arrived a little before 7pm and the show was schedule to start at 7:30 pm. The first act was Rachel Farley, unfortunately we missed her show due to the fact walking up from parking and we kept meeting fun and interesting people tailgating. The great thing about country folk and country music lovers is that they all seem to be really super sweet, fun, nice and caring all the time! Yeah every now you will get a bad apple but the majority from what I seen are pretty cool!
Finally Jack Ingram gets ready to go on stage and he is one I refuse to miss, so quickly grab my beer and head to our seats! Now with me never have gone to a show at the Greek Theater I was really amazed by the beauty and the stage.
The theater is outside with beautiful green forest and nature all around! The seats are perfectly placed to ensure that everyone has a good seat, but at the same time not to many! The Greek Theater can hold just under 6,000 exciting fans for whatever show they see that comes to this beautiful theater! It may not be a big stadium that can sell out to 10s of 1000s, but sometimes going to shows that in beautiful small amphitheater are a little better, a little more personal, and a lot better view!
Getting to this beautiful stage isn't too hard, they making parking as easy as possible, and once the show is over, it's not that bad of a wait to let all the cars file out! So grab your tickets while you can! I plan to attend my next show at the Greek Theater September 24, 2013 with Sheryl Crow and Gary Allan! Hope to see y'all there and remember to stay country strong!
Out of all the venues in LA to watch and listen to music, the Greek is by far my favorite. Â Maybe it's the trees surrounding the theatre, the cold, starry, night sky thats visible for all to see, or even the outstanding acoustics of the place, the greek has a special place in my heart. Â Whoever you watch or whatever you do at the greek, you'll be sure to have an intimate and memorable time. Â The only downside of this place is the expensive food and drinks and the horrible parking. Driving stick shift sucks here because of the hills. But even with those negatives, ill surely be back. A great date place!
