Was my first time at Crystal Bay, audio quality was good, and some of the jams verged on the edge of avant garde, moving up/ down to play entire songs in sharp or flat keys... I also enjoyed Lake Tahoe's trails, but didn't venture up to the snow like I was hoping to...
A solid show, and great fun to watch the band, especially Pete.
The keyboard player surprised audience with his singing talent.
The Tahoe show was 5/14 (Saturday), 5/15 was Napa. At least that's what I thought...
Was lucky enough to catch Saturday's show at Crystal Bay. The show was pleasantly well-attended (though by no means full), and the band delivered a solid, if not life-changing, show. Second set was really lit. I would have liked to see more of the Hunter-penned tunes from the 90's, but the "Chance in a Million" during the 1st set was fantastic. It seemed a little bit of a "workaday" show for Steve and the band but they did not disappoint, and the crowd was lively. They even played a "Many Rivers to Cross" encore after a (probably) show-closing "Mercury Blues" ended the second set, to appease the appreciative crowd. Pete Sears was a pleasant surprise, he was great, as always. Great to see him on bass, as his previous outings with these guys had him on keys, as I recall. This band can still deliver; catch them if you can. I was a late comer to Zero, but after about 20 years, I guess I'm in pretty deep.
There is a new CD of a '92 show from GAMH, it's a double CD that I bought at the show for $20. Totally worth it!
^^^ Surfdead, once I receive the show recordings, made friends with tapers Terri and Greg from PA and for some reason they don't upload to LMA... let's organize a listening session so we can analyze the music....after 1 listen, I'm thinking that the answers to all 3 of your questions is yes.
i got lucky that the night temps were well above freezing that weekend--as the car doesn't have winter tires right now--but i did have chaîns for unexpected mountain weather.

Hoping to catch them in
Hoping to catch them in Portland OR in late July. Same night as P-Funk. Tough call, but I'll likely hit Kimock & co.

Oooof. Tough call. Last chance to see George, probably. Not your last chance to see Kimock, probably.
Tough call.
