Band Together

Bill Graham Civic was an incredible venue to see the Peppers in. It was an up close and personal concert and they played all their greatest hits. We sat in the general seating upstairs and it was a great view. Not crowded, even the food and beer lines were short. I was pleasantly surprised that the food/drinks were so inexpensive. We're used to paying $14 for a beer at Levi Stadium or SAP Center. We're definitely going to look for more events at this venue.

It was an amazing event we went with the whole family and we had a great time and made it even more special knowing we were helping a good cause.. it was my 5yr old daughters first concert and she LOVES the Red Hot Chili Peppers so she has a blast

Favorite band at Christmas time in The City by the Bay. Who could ask for a better night. RHCP (as always) ROCKED IT !!!! and for a great cause. So AWESOME being treated to some songs from way back. Great night from end to end and a shout out to Lukas Nelson and Promise of the real.. Happy Girl - Peace-Love-RHCP

Metallica still shreds! Dave and Tim were awesome as usual.

Great performances by all except for want to be white rapper guy who pretended to be a thug and instead just came off foolish in my opinion, Indicative of the dumbing down of America as if dropping some F bombs and saying yo what makes you cool

The show was awesome, and they were right on time with the change of each act, etc. However in our nose-bleed seats in the upper deck, the sound was very poor. Lots of echo and not very good sound in general. Then there was Metallica, and they apparently cranked up the volume for this band all the way to 11 or higher. At that point we had to leave, which kinda sucked too.

Dave Matthews and Tim Renoylds were so amazing, and then to be followed by Dead and Company was so great. Then Metallica, c'mon man! By far one of the best concerts I've been to, and it was for a great cause. I know there likely won't be anything like this again.

Amazing show top to bottom! AWESOME cause! Heard is was an overwhelming success with over $17 Million Raised! We did good Bay Area! Always happy to help those in need.

Great bands for a great cause. Proceeds to go to TPERF Helping those impacted by the Northern California wildfires & a thank you to the first responders & support personnel. Metallica, Dave Matthews Band, Dead & Company, G Eazy, Rapael Saadiq, Rancid!!! Met a couple impacted by the fire from Forestville though we were strangers we became neighbors. Many of those impacted are in rural areas and a reminder how fast a wildfire can destroy homes & lives God Bless all those who struggled & struggle after the fires to our North & South. Also our hearts go out to hurricane, flood & earthquake victims. The future s uncertain & the end is always near & yet we smile through our heartache & uncertainty & rage against powerful forces & hope to live to see another day.

Very Good time, with my friends and family!! Always enjoy a good show with Metallica and company. 3 star because of the overcrowding and pushing upon leaving At&T park, poor security to help with people of disabilities, such as myself. Unfair and unsafe, i case of the event of an Emergency. Thank You.

Sound from top View was not very good. Metallica is my favorite band, and I've always been obsessed with them. This was my first time seeing them live, and it wasn't what I expected. The sound was not very good from the View level, and I wish I could hear everything like the guitars, and especially the guitar solos, which were unhearable. Not worth the money if this is the typical Metallica show, which I don't think it is, but it was my first time seeing them, and I'm a bit disappointed.

Went to the BAND Together concert to raise money for the North Bay fire victims. Had seats in Section 302 on the 1st row. 1st thing that struck me was how far the stage was away from us. They had big screens, so OK I can live with that. The worst thing is I hear this pronounced echo from the other side of the stadium when performers would sing. Not sure if this is always an issue at AT&T? I thought if I move to the middle, it would eliminate the echo and viola it did! So get a seat in the middle upper deck and some purple stationary light shining into the crowd that was so blinding you could not even look at the stage without difficulty. So in a nutshell, sound and lighting was a disaster at least in some seats. .

While it s a great idea for donations the bands did not go well together. Having it in a Thursday night starting at 5:30 was bad planning. Better if it was in a Saturday or Sunday during the day. Big disappointment.

The evening was unforgettable, bands involved went above and beyond.. The money raised was astronomical... Great performance by all .. Thanks for the wonderful night.

Funds went to great cause. $150 ticket however was far more than the show received. Priceto value was grossly misappropriated. For the show it was more consistent with $80 ticket range.

My husband and I wanted to see Dave Matthews and Metallica. Enough that I thought it was worth $350 for general admission seating. WRONG!!!! We arrived before Dave took the stage, entered the park with minimal wait only to be told there was a line to get wristbands for GA. One line. 500 people in it. Needless to say, by the time I got to the end of the line Dave was finishing his set and there were no wristbands to be had. So my husband who was not in line with me (I thought he should find a place to enjoy the show) would not be entering with me into the GA section. Worst planned event I have ever been to. I missed seeing Dave Matthews and that ruined the evening for me. At least the $350+ I paid for two useless tickets went to a good cause

This was a great show, for a great cause! Every act hit it out of the park (pun intended)! Way to go guys (and gals!).

Besides wanting to help the cause, Dead and Co. was the main reason for my attendance. I have seen the Grateful Dead countless times (over a hundred) since my first show at the Portland Oregon Paramount Theatre in 1976. I had never seen the latest re-incarnation and found it quite nice. Having sung those songs with 3 of the current members for 40 years, obviously my musical view is biased. It was the only portion of the event that I removed my hearing protection devices for. That being said, I admire everybody who participated in the event, except for: Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone and Barry Bonds. Both were horrific choices, embarrassments to their professions, and shouldn't have even been seriously considered to be speaking. The first act, was nice, jazzy, relaxing, warm. I was not familiar with them and found it quite nice. Rancid was... Well their name is very appropriate, I don't really relate to that type of music, I actually enjoyed a couple of their songs, they were honestly trying to make things better for the victims, and quite good at what they do, if that's your thing. G-Easy was Rap, again, NOT MY FAVORITE, again good at what they do, again I actually enjoyed a couple of tunes, especially the cute little rhyme about TRUMP!!! The only performers (I heard) that took time to thank all of the other performers by name!!! Dave Mathews was fine, I had never seen him preform before and had wanted to. I hear that Dave is much better with his full band then the Duo playing the event! Metallica rocked the house!!! Again, not my style, I was surprised how many of their songs that I knew. They were tight, loud, talented, I had heard that they are a great live show, and they are. They were obviously most of the crowds favorite, except for a large contingent of Dead Heads. You all know who you are, it was wonderful to see you all again!

Great show, great bands, great cause. Thank you, felt safe!!!

I thought I was a Metallica fan until I met some Metallica fans it was an amazing show so much fun people were great the bands were great so glad that I went

I admit Metallica was my reason for attending the show. Rancid and G-Eazy were amazing!!! Dave Matthews was incredible!!! But Metallica - you know they were Hard, Fast and Loud.

I enjoyed the diversity of the acts and having never seen Metallica, I was blown away by their set, which included many of their biggest hits. I went to the show both for the entertainment and the opportunity to support Fire Relief.

Such a great show. Dead and Company's long jammed out set was super!!

We had a great time, I had bought regular seating but when we went to stretch our legs right after Dave Matthew's, we were approached by 2 woman whom gave us wrist bands that allowed us on the field. Problem was there are only 2 aisle's to get to field level so it took forever to get down there. BUT, once we did, the Dead and John Mayer were playing and then Metallica! We were right there front and center. It was just awesome!!!!!

I lost my home in the North Bay fires. I was so excited to get the free tickets for fire survivors. THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO MADE THAT HAPPEN! I enjoyed the whole event, ALL the performers were amazing! I wil definitely be seeing Dead & Company, and Metallica at future concerts. Again, thank you to EVERY performer, Raphael Saadiq, Rancid, G-Eazy, Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds, Dead & Company, & Metallica\u2014you were all amazing & rocked the park! Kudos to you for a fantastic night!

The show itself was fantastic. For some reason there were towers that were placed around the infield with blue lights that would become fixed on people in lower reserve seating making the viewing extremely annoying. I was thankful to have a hat on that I was able to pull the brim down and block out the blue light that was fixed on me for 90% of the show. Great lineup and music!!!

An amazing set of performances to help recover from the north bay fires. The collaboration of all who put the event together was excellent. Highlights for me was Dead and Company and Metallic. Powerful music for a worthy cause. Thank you.

Metallica never disappoints and Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds acoustic show was amazing! Very intimate show which you don t get to see a lot! Deadand Company was great too, just like old times. By far one of the best concerts I ve been too, true musicians!

well an old deadhead meets the headbangers, god we all are music lovers and it is so easy to get along. the world could learn a lesson just go to a show an embrace each other that's what this crazy world needs.

I went for Metallica and enjoyed every act. The diversity of musical styles and the kinship of the crowd elevated this event to a once in a lifetime experience. So glad that I went.

The bands were all good with my personal favorite "Dead and Co" featuring John Mayer and Bob Weir....Short sets ...but required for a 5 hr show...It seems like the event was only about 60% sold out, and many people arrived ~ 8pm and later...concessions and ushers seemed "third string"...and I NEVER saw my friend properly seated immediately next to me (Usher told him "his seat was elsewhere" ???) and getting what I wanted/ordered to eat or drink was problematical ! Weather was dry and not cold, until after the concert ended....I supported the cause for which this concert was given...but would have been less understanding about the issues, if this was not the case...

Very well run event! Set times were very accurate and all bands were amazing!!! Only complaint is no poster for sale :( Merchandise was beautiful, but a poster would ve been amazing!

Concert was awesome! Variety of artists which did not disappoint! Metallica was great!!

Wonderful night! Great music, great vibe. You got the feeling everybody was there to help a local cause that was devastating to so many.

Was so happy to be able to enjoy this great line-up presented at ATT Park for the devastation brought by the recent Sonoma-Napa-Mendocino fires. The venue is fabulous and the organizing of the event was great especially in such little time!

A perfect mix of music for a great cause. The weather was beautiful. One of the best overall shows I have ever seen!!

Unforgettable evening with great music and great crowd!

The show was awesome. I've waited a long time to see Metallica, and they played their hits. It was a great benefit for the fire victims.

Awesome show. I found myself really loving Lukas Nelson. I would go see him anytime he is in this area. Thank you to these artists for giving their time and talents for such a great cause.

One word describes this show. ASSKICKING !!! This was one of the best shows we've seen this year.

Super awesome show, the community spirit was high and the bands were excellent. No problems at all with tickets. AT&T Park could have done better with the sound in the bleachers but all in all a great time! Mikey B

Went to the Band Together Bay Area show with my 11 year old for a worthy cause and good music. I bought an Impark parking pass for Lot 30 at Pier 30 prior to the show for $14. The lot was just a little over half a mile from the venue and a straight shot on the Embarcadero. The weather was perfect and the venue was beautiful. It was the first time for us to visit AT&T Park. It was an eclectic group of musicians and all were amazing. I went mainly for Dave & Tim but the magical moment for me was when Dead & Company hit the stage. It was one long jam seguing into each song that lasted almost an hour. Amazingly they fit 6 songs into the set. Metallica killed it during their time on stage. It felt like a blast from the past and man they were in the zone! Since the parking was for an "event" the lot gives you an hour after the show to leave the lot. My pass was for 4-11pm and I had to leave the lot by midnight without incurring extra fees or being towed. I recommend parking close to the entrance due to a review that said their car was broken into including a photo of the shattered window. The freeway was only a few blocks away and easy to find. It was the perfect night in the city.

Such a good time, so much talent on that stage, I haven t had that much fun at a show in years. There needed to be more entry points for the field GA section but other than that... From the vibe of the people to the performance of the bands it was an unforgettable night!

I have nothing but great respect for every artist that took the time to play at this event. I have become a bigger fan of all. Almost everyone in the lineup had ties to the Bay Area. Knowing that when the people in their backyard had suffered greatly from the devastating fires, they gave back to their community by playing at this benefit. That s the epitome of kindness in humanity. A huge ovation for the artists!! And what wonderful artists they all were. The show s lineup in order: Raphael Saadiq, Rancid, G-Easy, Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds, Dead & Company, and Metallica. Sprinkle in a guest appearances from Buster Posey, Joe Montana, Renel Brooks Moon, Natalie Coughlin, Barry Bonds, First Reponders, and victims of the fire...it was truly a night to remember! Each artist and guest appearance spread messages of love, hope, and faith and that together, we can get through any tragedy. I feel so honored to have been in attendance to such a uplifting and entertaining event. Doing good and feeling good doing it. Thanks for a great show!

Any event at ATT park is worth going to for the shear beauty of this place. When you add in six incredible Bay Area bands, you get a once in a lifetime experience. I hope it doesn t take another tragedy to bring another great show like this one.

The sound quality and atmosphere was the best I have been to.

Great variety of music with passion and love for the Bay Area.

To be honest, I'm going to say this right off the bat... G-eazy was HUGE disappointment. No one else made this benefit concert political , but him. But he didn't stop there, he was very rude , and used way too much vulgar language to speak about the President. I mean there were a lot of families in the audience, and this was not the time not the place dude. But as always! Metallica rocked!!!!!! The ballpark started to get packed of course once it was Metallica's turn to perform ! They've still got it! Love them !!! I'm so happy that all of the money went to the fire victims !

We didn't need the sermon but everything else was awesome.!!!

The entire set ROCKED!!! Missed this years show but glad I made it to this benefit. Great way to end the year.

I do not believe I got to see such an amazing band so close to the stage in a very intimate venue! the show was amazing and RHCP kicked asses like they are on their early 20's trying to make a name to themselves.

Can never complain when RHCP plays. Add that it was for a good cause and wow. Amazing night

Red Hot Chili Peppers were really awesome. This was a regular length set which was great and they sounded great. Opening band, Lucas Nelson and the Reel were pretty bad. Interesting band but not good match with the RCHP.

The whole night was amazing! Great venue, great entertainment and all for a great cause!

It was a great show for a great cause. I saw the first one and the second one and I cannot wait for the third show for a fire relief victims

Although a fund raiser, RHCP played fabulously and was a long set with their hits.

Awesome line up on a beautiful night for a good cause! Rancid was on point , Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds mellow acoustic set to Metallica's explosive ending. Good to see the Giants organization and the community coming together to honor first responders and those hurt from the recent fires.

We went to see Dead & Company buy loved Metallica. This concert made 8 Dead shows for us this year. Dead & Company were about to tour on the East coast and I thought it really showed Bay Area support for them to play for a good cause. Oteil even cancelled a show in New York city that night to play and support this worthy cause. When the Dead were playing there was a couple hundred people down on the field dancing in a big area all together. Lovin' life. It was my first time at this venue and I will definitely go there again. Liked the first two acts but not a big rap fan. Koudos go to the stage crews who kept the vibe going by breaking down and setting up the next band in only 10 minutes..UNBELIEVABLE. Weather..GREAT. Sound GREAT..The people of the Bay Area coming together for a night of Music and a Cause to help the victims of this tragedy...Priceless. Rode the Larkspur ferry right to the stadium and back. All in all a GREAT night

It was nice to see Metallica and The Dead playing together. Both local bands of SF

Metallica always will remain the best band out there specially live

My father-in-law and I had a wonderful time in the GA field standing area. Music was amazing and Metallica blew our hair back (first time seeing them electric!). The respect and appreciation paid to first responders and victims of the North Bay Fires was palatable and healing. Unfortunately, I was pretty disappointed with the sound mix for Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds (who was the act I was most excited for). You could barely hear Dave's guitar at all for the entire set. I thought maybe it was where we were standing and when I watched it as televised on YouTube the next morning, the mix was the same (very difficult to hear Dave). That was my only disappointment -- otherwise -- GREAT SHOW!!!

Show was amazing. Best atmosphere, great performances, all around good time. For a great cause.

I enjoyed most of the music, Dead and Company, Raphael Saadig and G Easy. Dave Matthews was terrible and Metallica was too loud.. The seats at Att&T were the most uncomfortable I've ever sat in. My back hurt for several days after the concert.

Great show for a really great cause! Enjoyed all the acts especially the headliner. They were all great and I admire them for joining the cause.

This was an amazing evening, with multiple bands and performers coming out to raise money for the victims of the North Bay Fire Relief (California wild fires). Many thanks to all of the performers and Bands, most notably, Rafael Saadiq, Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds, Dead & Company (feat. John Mayer), and of course, Metallica. The music was amazing, and the event raised over $17M for relief efforts. Also, a huge shout out goes to the first responders and volunteers who have done so much for those affected by this tragedy.

Metallica has always been my all Time favorite band... Their music has helped me through a lot of things.. And for them and others to put on a benefit for my hometown and others burning... It was quite special. Me and my fiancé went.. It was amazing.. Blew us away. (Besides losing my wallet and getting in a bad car accident on the way home)

This was more like a festival than a concert with multiple big name bands and singers showing up for an important cause. Grateful Dead came unannounced as did John Mayer who played multiple sets with them. Dave Matthews was phenomenal as usual and to have the night end with Metallica...whoa. Powerful. The venue rating deserves 10 stars

Oh my god I am now an avid fan. Could not believe their sound. I heart Metallica absolutely forever.
