Climbing up on Hollywood Hills

We went to see Peter Gabriel last weekend, live at the Hollywood Bowl. It's a great venue; nestled in the Hollywood Hills, it's atmospheric and unique. The concert was really entertaining, with a surprisingly good lightshow thrown in.
 
I think we'll have to make another trip to the Bowl in the Summer, to see a classical concert. You're encouraged to bring a picnic along and enjoy the concert with a glass of wine or two. Sounds good to me!

However, the best fact about the Hollywood Bowl by far, is that it was featured in the 1972 Columbo episode Etude in Black. Pure class...

  1. Wasn't that the one Jon Cusack turned up onstage and handed him something, possibly dressed up as some character?

  2. yeah, he was there! it was all a bit bizzare. He wasn't dressed up as far as we could see. He looked sheepish when the camera panned over to him.
