In spite of a 45-minute drive turning into a 2-hour drive, mile-long bathroom lines, and missing Paramore on stage, I had a fantastic time! No Doubt was absolutely amazing.
Below are some snippets and photos from the SacBee website:
There was No Doubt about the party at Sleep Train Amphitheater
"On the road after a five-year hiatus but without any new songs to push, No Doubt wowed a packed Sleep Train Amphitheater Friday night with a straightforward greatest-hits set.
Opening with the jaunty, jagged "Spiderwebs" from its 1995 mega-seller "Tragic Kingdom," No Doubt set a tone of good-time familiarity that kept a rare sellout crowd at the 18,500-capacity Wheatland venue permanently on its feet.
Front woman Gwen Stefani continually stoked the audience, separating out male audience members to sing about how they were "just a girl" only to playfully mock the inevitably silly result."
Other highlights:
- Cristina accidentally taking a snapshot of my ta-ta's as I stuck my upper body out of her sunroof to check out traffic.
- Being able to hear Paramore as we drove up and around the amphitheater to park.
- Almost getting a contact high from all the folks smoking weed on the Lawn.
- Awesome light shows.
- Yummy garlic fries.
- Singing 90's songs on the long drive home. <3

Yay, my blog's first shout out! Thanks, buddy!
To add to your list, here are things I learned from and/or were reconfirmed by our No Doubt experience (apologies for the really long comment):
* Be sure to eat before heading to Marysville because there's NOTHING between Sacramento and Marysville
* I hate traffic
* A friend who will indulge me by popping out of my moon roof to gauge how long the line is to the parking lot makes the wait more enjoyable
* Always bring a sweatshirt to an outdoor concert because it WILL be chilly, even if it was a 100 degree day
* No Doubt is still awesome, and pretty humble considering their success
* Gwen Stefani is adorable
* We both still love us some Hootie
:-)
Great photos. Gwen's abs were amazing. Can't believe she's a mother of two. And she wore those white pants dangerously low.
