The organizers need to address a couple of issues if they want this concert to have the same staying power as venues such as Lolapalooza or Austin City Limits. First is the transportation -- it took me an hour and a half to get from the park to the BART! Second is the blanket people -- where someone get the idea they can hold a spot for 10 people just because they lay down a bedspread is beyond me. I worked my way though the crowd an hour before Black Eyed Peas, I found a spot and opened my camp stool to take a break. A horrible woman in formed me she was holding a space for 10 people and that I was touching her blanket. I told her I wasn't on her blanket, I was 12 feet away from her, I told her to leave me alone and turned my back to her. I had the same general admission ticket she had, and her friends only had one ticket each, they don't get to be 2 places at once. She claimed tenure, since She had been at the spot for 2 hours, and came over and pushed me! This is assault, and I yelled for security. There wasn't any security, then I called 911. Next,her companion came over and pushed me! Such horrible people, of course I moved. I'll never go to an outside music festival in San Francisco again. And I have nothing good to say about them either. Austin is a much nicer crowd.

Pissed I missed QTip now!. Agree that SSPU was 'meh' at best. The National really ripped and the crowd was into it. Pissed I missed QTip now!. Agree that SSPU was ‘meh’ at best.
