Friday is fun because it’s music. This is a Tour Edition. Talking about the music I’m experiencing while in San Francisco. But there’s still the regular weekly playlist for y’all!
That's funny as I just subscribed to your stack and got this. I saw Tangerine Dream here in LA (at the Greek Theater) in . . . 1977. This show was accompanied by lasers, which were new. I recall that the show was LA-centric, with the pieces named for local streets. And TD became even bigger after doing the soundtrack for Sorcerer later that year.
There's a bit of Hollywood arcana that has lasted through the subsequent years. There's a bank at Hollywood and Vermont that has a wonderful mural from that time of Hollywood Boulevard. In the middle of it is the old (Graumann's) Chinese Theater. And on the marquee for the theater in the mural is Sorcerer. I think back to TDream and that Greek Theater concert every time I'm in that bank and see that mural. That's 46 years ago now!
Very jealous of the Dinosaur Jr gig - hope it's a blast! Also just want to register my disappointment at a blog about San Fran music that doesn't mention Faith No More! Haha - enjoy your break Simon :)
