This is part of a continuing series of my impressions and experiences staying at various hotels and resorts while traveling to attend concerts worldwide. This review is for The Hilton Los Angeles / Universal City in Universal City, California. I would recommend this hotel based on my short one-night stay for an event at Gibson Amphitheatre, which is walking distance from the property. [Read more…]

No Doubt at Gibson Amphitheatre (Night 6, #NDnight6) | Universal City, California | 12/04/2012 (Concert Review)

December 5, 2012 by Jason DeBord 28 Comments

“You’re singing the words to the new songs…  I can’t express… how happy I am that it touched you and connected to you… thank you for that… it’s the greatest feeling ever.”  Gwen Stefani taking a moment (one of many) to chat with her fans at the sold out show at the 6,200 capacity Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City – the sixth of their “Seven Night Stand” special residency shows running late November through tomorrow.  Having recently released their first new album in 11 years, Push and Shove, the audience of mostly dedicated fans flocked from all over the U.S. and beyond to see this amazing band perform live truly better than ever.  In addition to putting on a phenomenal show, front woman Stefani took many moments to reach out to fans – sometimes literally – and all the members of the Anaheim band (Tony Kanal, Tom Dumont, Adrian Young, Stephen Bradley, and Gabriel McNair) seemed to be having the time of their lives on stage.  Hopefully this will serve as a prelude to a full tour next year, given the reception of these shows and the strength of the new album, which is fantastic.  Truly an epic night that will not be forgotten by those lucky enough to have attended this show or one of the others.
