Fantastic Band and good venue, would go again
by garytrinder on 2012-06-25Malkin Bowl - VancouverMy wife and I took our 12 year old son to this, it was his first outside gig. Got there early and had a choice of where to stand (and sit). The band were FANTASTIC I would definately see them again. We all enjoyed the new album and some tracks from the previous album, including the Drum Song - this is fantastic live! The venue was small, which was a good thing. It was like watching a band at the local park we felt very close the band and could see all the on stage action. Got some very good pictures. Good acoustics and music never seemed too loud. Ammenities were very good, plenty of porta loo's, which were still clean when I used them. Might be worth using the bathrooms at the pavilion before you go in if you're a girl. Food was good and reasonably priced and so was the drink. $2 for a bottle of water is not bad. $10 for a chicken, rice and vegatable meal. Plenty of trash cans and security staff were polite and effective. Managed to get parking close by and this was $10 for the whole day (including evening) so we did the Aquarium whilst we were there first as this was an evening gig. Summary - Would recommend the band and the site.
