As Oracle has swallowed other technology companies i.e. Sun Microsystems, Peoplesoft, Siebel, Bea Systems, Hyperion, etc etc etc this event has become quite large. The headliners also tend to be big names. This year it was Sting and Tom Petty. It is held on Treasure Island and they bus 20K-40K people and there is no parking. This is a hassle but for the 2011 lineup I was willing to go for it. I attend the conference but do not pay for a full admission so it means I have to find a wristband for entrance to the party. I was able to secure a wristband and got over on one of the earlier busses with a friend and former client. Grabbed some food but avoided the bad beer and wine. Its all you can drink so peopel who don't get out much get stupid and drunk. We were able to get a spot on the rail to the right of the center aisle as the crowd filled in. Show opened with a moment of silence to homor the passing of Steve Jobs. This was followed by a set by Sting. After Sting my friend bailed on me and ended up in a corporate area with better food and drinks. I was left to fend for myself with the drunks. All in all a bit more chatter than I prefer but really good sound system and being in the right location makes this a must have. 01) Intro 02) Message in a Bottle (The Police song) 03) Englishman in NY 04) Everything She Does Is Magic (The Police song) 05) When We Dance 06) Fields Of Gold 07) If You Love Somebody Set Them Free 08) Hounds Of Winter 09) Driven to Tears (The Police song) 10) Shape Of My Heart 11) Seven Days 12) Wrapped Around Your Finger (The Police song) 13) When the World Is Running Down, You Make the Best of What's Still Around (The Police song) 14) Roxanne (The Police song) Encore: 15) Desert Rose 16) King of Pain (The Police song) 17) Every Breath You Take (The Police song) Just the basic taper requests here and please no vitriol: Don't be an ass by selling this or using it in a video that is sold Don't modify the info file Don't remaster and/or post on other sites Don't convert to lossy formats except for personal use Do support the artists If you feel so inclined help support the trackers bringing you this FREE music.
