I have now seen Train and Green Day at this venue. It has been easy to get in and out of. Easy to hear and see. I have not had to stand in line to get food/drink since my guy does it for me, but it does not seem like he is gone forever. Regardless, sales are fairly near the... More

Saw the Lumineers here. I've never been to the venue, and I really enjoyed it. General admission seating, so get there early for the best seats. We had really good seats, and the sound was fabulous.

What can I say, great place to see a concert. They get some of the greatest musicians in the world to play and perform. Great sound in an outdoor setting. Bring something to sit on as the concrete is hard to sit on as a seat.

Watching a concert at the Greek as the sun sets is one of the many benefits of living in the Bay Area. Only problem is that you have to sneak in wine (they want you to buy it inside)

This exciting, theatre in the round is the jewel in the crown of UC Berkeley. So many wonderful performers, from Dolly Parton to Train to Bonnie Raitt and on and on have performed here! The acoustics are incredible!! Note: Be sure to bring warm clothes, food, hot coffee in thermos (none available!!), a cushy pad to sit on, and blankets.... More

The Greek Theater is a lot of fun. Even if you don't pay for reserved seats (which I never do) you can get a good spot. Seats aren't super comfortable though, so it's good to bring a pillow to sit on, if you can. I've enjoyed many concerts there over the years.

I was fortunate to experience an amazing concert at the Greek Theater in Berkeley, CA. This venue is a great place to experience any concert, ballet, play or any sort of performing art form. Every seat in the house is a good one. I would say the only down side is no back support so bring a comfy seat, warm... More

If you're not from NorCal, the setting will astound you. Even if you are...you gotta go at least once in your lifetime if an act you even remotely like is playing there. An experience unlike anything I've ever had at a live rock show. Went there to see Wilco in Sept, 2012. Took BART over from San Francisco. Note -... More

This theater is an amazing spot in Berkeley, California near the UC campus. It is awesome not also because all the concerts and cultural activities you can enjoy there, sometimes for free, but also because of the tall trees and the impressive buildings. However, as it is outside it has some inconvenients. To have good a time my suggestion is... More
