damn I thought there were lots of hippies in SanFran who smoke pot drop acid and go see jambands... what happened?
More like overflowing with hipsters in S.F., though a lot of people do go to see good music.
There was definitely plenty of pot smoking in the club, among the 40 or so that were there at the highest point.
Basically The Mission (area of S.F. were the band played last night) was very quiet, which is normal during the early week. Closer to the weekend, it is hopping with nightlife activities.
Like I said to Steve: "This band is much different than the one I heard last spring, and they seem to be more adventurous."
Tim\'s voice is completely different now. I really do miss Sequoia\'s grooves on the stage. However, I think the band\'s new incarnation is equally exciting, and more willing to try to new things. Tim\'s dueling roles also changes the momentum of the show, as he no longer shreds from start to finish. I think it gives me more appreciation of his shining guitar moments when he switches back over from the keys/synth. Like I pointed out to a friend of mine from work who was there: for such an impressive performance on the keys/synth, Tim is quite new to them both.
Despite the light crowd, there were definitely some ownage moments last night. Funk jam out of Intension was "sick".
Can\'t wait for tonight.
The band is staying in a sketchy part of town, and Adrian mentioned seeing a 1-legged transvestite hooker (gender illusionist I believe is the p.c. term now :banhair: )
