The Hollywood Bowl was originally a natural amphitheater. The first person to be employed to design a shell for the stage in order to help broadcast the sound was Lloyd Wright, son of Frank Lloyd Wright. In 1931 Lloyd Wright’s wooden shell was replaced with a concrete one designed by Allied Architects of Los Angeles. That shell was in turn replaced by one designed by Frank Gehry in 1982. The fifth and latest dome (2004) is the design of Hodgetts + Fung Design Associates.
I went tonight with my best pal samson to see Thievery Corporation. It was an unexpected surprise. I didn't come to LA for the happiest of occasions, but left with one of the best experiences of my life. The venue is such a beautiful place, being in the middle of all these trees, and the beautiful california sky, it feels so classically los angeles, which makes me want to live here again. there is a romance of la that i think has been lost, but more on that some other time. the music was so wonderful, bebe gilberto and thievery corporation.. and perry ferrell came out for what i believe was Revolution Solution. I can't think of a more awesome surprise.
People were dancing in the aisles, and i could totally picture you there too... dancing free, letting the beats overtake you. and i felt like you were there. you knew how much i loved to see you dance. and it made me smile.
there is a primal feeling to it. a few well placed beats and you can't help but nod your head. pictures to come.
