Now we find out how much of that they thought was good enough to (a) put on the public setlist or (b) put on a live release.

If the transcripts are accurate, Mick announced most songs in an almost excusive manner. So I guess he'll drop them.

Now.... I wonder if any of the cats that were hanging around out front and asking here about it got in for any part of the show... I was hoping for them the whole time. I wonder if they did?

I was pretty much at the front of the 'just in case' line up at Fonda until 9.15 - no one got in (as far as I know), except for one or two that were able to benefit from favours/connections.

I hope not! Certainly would be disappointing to this fan. Doesn't make sense
To spend all the rehersal effort, learning SF, for only one tiny free show.

Real Quick...That was utterly fantastic. Easily my favorite show, set-list performance in a long while. I cant type I'm shaking so bad with excitement. That was incredible. I will stay on for a few minutes, then we are going to party. What a great trip so far. I promise details I guarantee I will be up all night then sleep on the plane home tommorow

The poster who said that this was an invite only show was correct. reports both at the El Rey theatre and at the Fonda theatre say that there were about 100 to 200 tickets on sale during the online sale this afternoon. the El Rey was just one of three different venues where people were asked to come and pick up their tickets. most VIP picked up their tickets yesterday in fact.
this show was not like past warm up club gigs. this was basically an industry invitation only event. more or less a private gig. the number of average fans that had absolutely no connection to anyone in the industry may have been in the 100 to 200 range.... the rest of the people in attendance which a proximately totaled more than 1200 where all industry types. simply put: if you didn't know someone connected you are not going to be inside.
there were roughly about 50-80 people waiting outside the El Rey theatre. additionally there were probably around 100 to 250 people waiting outside the Fonda theatre. as far as I could tell hardly anyone was allowed inside

As with most things in life, money and/or connections are what you need...

You're right. After I had written that, I also remembered El Mocambo.

Yeah, but I was fairly resigned to it before I arrived. I got my hopes up briefly when I realised 'it only needs 10 spaces and I'm in' but in all honesty it never seemed realistic.
We did hear a little bit of Start Me Up - but then they turned down the PA so we couldn't hear anything!
It was more frustrating to be at the venue early this morning and then find out the tickets were going to be sold online. That's when I knew the game was up. I flew over from the UK for this and San Diego, but always knew this was going to be a very long shot.
