Bands: Blind Pilot , Gomez
Where : The Filmore , San Fransisco CA
When Thursday 7/30/09 7:00 PM

This was my first trip to the historic Filmore, a place where so many great artists have played. For my first time there I was allowed to listen to the musical talents of opening band Blind Pilot, and one of my favorite bands Gomez. I enjoyed and listened to a great concert that night.


The night started inside the Filmore with the opening band Blind Pilot. The band consisted of a total of 6 members. I was suprised by the choice of musical instruments whcich included a wooden bass, accordian, trumpet, and xhlophone, along with the guitar, bango, and classic drums. But the unique assortment proved to work together beautifully. I specially enjoyed the music and of coarse liked it so much I brought home their new CD (auto graphed of coarse).

Then the Filmore went from half full to full when Gomez took the stage. The band played as well as I saw them last time at the Shoreline the previous year. But unlike last time, there were the big band this time and played more music this time around including sveral of their old songs which included one of my favorite Whippin Picadilly. However they did not play some of my favorite songs however. But I learned later than all the songs they played that night would not be played next at their next nights shows. This explained wh several of their new songs were not played.

But none the less I left the show happy wearing my new Gomez shirt. I loved finally seeing Gomez as the main attraction, and enjoyed every minute that they played.

Another great concert.
