2023 Live Performances

I had previously said....

I seriously underestimated the time it would take me to collate/share my 2022 offerings, not sure what I was thinking when I said these would be up by January 2023...try December 2023.

Maybe 2023 will be done by January 2024. Most likely not.

I was right!  More like April 2026, and only because (1) I'm in a lull between live shows and other commitments and (2) am in the process of how to best share things.

Anyway, without further ado...here we go....looks like in reverse order is how I was doing it.

2021 Live Performances

 

Obviously, the first half of 2021 was very, very quiet while the world was still trying to recover from lockdown.  But then, starting in late June with outdoors shows, and gradually shifting back into normal, the pace of live performance attendance really started to pick up.
 
 
This was mostly a new set of bands, a veritable who's who of SF "fog pop".   And some opportunities missed, it wouldn't be until the middle of 2022 until I managed a successful capture of The Reds Pinks & Purples.

2022 and beyond will get their own post at some point, will try to get this done by late January 2023.
