    Right, but it still doesn't matter. They've played equally iconic venues or festivals in recent years and it hasn't led to dramatic shifts in the stage show or band lineup.

    A special venue doesn't automatically equal a special show in GN'Rland

    We weren't talking about a special show.  :lol:  We were discussing if the Hollywood Bowl was legendary.  It is.

    I said endings not ending ! 

    It isn't legendary, it's just a venue 

    Rolling Stone lists it in their 10 top venues:

    The country’s most famous band shell, the Hollywood Bowl has hosted concerts by everyone from Judy Garland and Louis Armstrong to Elton John and Black Sabbath. Since the 17,500-person capacity venue opened in 1922, artists have been making history there year after year: The Beatles played there in 1965 and 1965 and released the live album, The Beatles at the Hollywood Bowl, using recordings they made there; the Doors do the same in 1968; Monty Python staged their last full revue there in 1982; Kanye West chose the venue as the perfect place to play his 808s & Heartbreak album in its entirety in 2015; Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers played what would be their final shows together there in 2017 before his death. “It was the Hollywood Bowl,” Ringo Starr once said of the Beatles’ gigs there. “[This was an] impressive place to me. I fell in love with Hollywood then, and I’m still in love with Hollywood.” —KORY GROW

     

    American Songwriter lists it as number 2 in it's 6 legendary music venues

    2. Hollywood Bowl – Los Angeles, California
    Like the Ryman Auditorium, the Hollywood Bowl is in a league all its own. This outdoor amphitheater in the hills of California creates a tranquil experience like no other. With sound and acoustics that are near perfect, there’s a magic to the Hollywood Bowl that makes for an exceptional live music experience. The bleacher seating and cozy lawn chairs create a community atmosphere, the music being the bind that brings everyone together.

    NME brings it in as #7 in their 14 legendary rock venues

    The Hollywood Bowl is home to the Los Angeles Philharmonic during the summer months, and was another favourite of The Beatles, who recorded ‘The Beatles At The Hollywood Bowl’ there in 1964 and 1965. Morrissey also released a live album from the venue, which plays host to some spectacular 4th July celebrations too.

    :lol:  California native here and nobody gets away with discounting the importance of the Hollywood Bowl.

    This is true, but it's not always what it seems. Regardless of Melissa's actual status at the moment, going online and creating a get-well thread on a forum that Melissa will never see... that necessitates it's own psychological investigation. What's the point? What's the motivation? Because even if it's well-meaning, it's still bizarre behavior. 

    This is why I don't get bent out of shape about things. The internet is just... it's its own universe with its own rules. Trying to apply real-world social rules to it is just asking for trouble. At the very least, it's an act of self-harm haha.

    Sending out good karma into the world is never a bad thing.  You post it on the net and it reinforces to you that you should care about people even if you don't know them.  Sets examples for other people.

    But then you do get into that bizarre shit of speculation that turns into narrative and suddenly becomes fact although not true.  :lol:
