BFD Coverage — Snoop D-O-Double Gizzle

Snoop, Snoop-a-loop, Snoop! I mentioned in my round-up that BFD usually doesn’t do hip hop, but when they do, they bust out some great names. In 2008, it was Cypress Hill, in 2004 it was the Beastie Boys. I think they outdid themselves with Snoop though, because my man tore the house down.
(Full discretion, the video is uncensored, the man curses like, well, like a rapper).

I haven’t seen Snoop live before, but it was exactly what I expected. The man is super charismatic and can lead a crowd. It doesn’t hurt that the man is a legend. The foo did a little bit of everything. I think I wrote down the majority of his playlist.

• Who Am I?
• Pimpin’ Aint EZ
• Next Episode
• Gin and Juice

• I Wanna “Love” You
• Let’s Get High
• 187
• Nothing But A G Thang
• Ride or Die (Tupac homage)
• Aint No Fun (Nate Dogg homage)
• Sexual Seduction
• Jump Around (House of Pain homage) (Which was super sick! Shout out to Brian Wilson)
• Drop it like it’s Hot
• What’s my Name?

To sum up, Snoop Dogg equals one of the Top 10 sets I have ever witnessed. And it was great to see at Shoreline. By the way, how awesome is Shoreline as a venue? Scale of 1 to 10, it’s like a 12.

BFD Coverage — More photos

Like I said, it’s always good to cover events with a person who knows what they’re doing with a camera in their hands. We gave you a preview of Matt Maniego’s shots in a our last post, here is another look at some of the shots we were able to get. He’ll be putting them up on his website soon, so for a larger view, check them out there.

 

You can follow Matt on Twitter @methodikalgee … I do.

 

BFD! BFD! BFD!

UPDATE:
I’d like to thank Mother Nature for being WHACK! Here’s the forecast for this weekend. What was supposed to be a busy weekend of awesome music looks like it’ll be a busy wet weekend of music. First report is the Weather Channel, second is ABC7 News and the last in NBC Bay Area. They all look bad. And all the shows are outdoors.

From what I can tell, the shows are scheduled to go on, rain or shine. If I hear anything, I’ll let everyone know.

Yup, we just got approved for Live 105.3’s one-and-only BFD. It should be a really fun time. Just, look out for photos and other cool stuff from the big day of concerts. Apparently, the weather is still pretty sketch. We aren’t going to jinx it though. Just keep our fingers crossed.

We’ll see you then, peeps.
