Written on Jul 13 2010Pacific Symphony performed a few pieces.
Then the John Denver tribute - with a look alike, sound alike. Played mostly unrecognizable John Denver tunes. About 60/40 - unknown tunes and well-known.
Pacific Symphony then really excelled at the Souza marches during the fireworks.
Which brings me to the fireworks. Really weak. Intermittent display. Long pauses between each one.
Pricing for this event was way too high. Glad I bought tics on goldstar. But for a family event - tics should be cheaper priced.
Next year, I'll go back to the Hollywood Bowl for the 4th.
(The Pacific Symphony is a good orchestra. Perhaps if they had just performed, it would have been better. Or, get a better known artist...the bowl had Vince Gill!!)

Written on Jul 09 2010Fine for 4th of July. Music and entertainment were good. The conductor was the best entertainment. He really likes his job. The crowd was older and not too enthusiastic. Fireworks not too spectacular.
