Retribution Gospel Choir / Carta / Sarah June - 2010-04-09 - Hotel Utah SF

Sourced from Yelp

(penned and assembled in mid-July 2026)

This is an exercise in reconstruction, back in an era that wasn't seemingly extensively awash in photography or video footage...which is as just as ephemeral today, at least without the willful action of choosing to document, something I realize isn't for everybody...but as revealed in myself and tomzero's subsequent email, was something quite a few people partook in, as there are quite a few RGC recordings on archive.org.  Going back through my emails, it seems tickets for this were $10/ea. which was a huge bargain...couldn't imagine this being less than $30/ea now.

In fact, this is the only photo which I have from this show...if I recall, the Hotel Utah's venue space was pretty dark back then.  I only took this photo because we used to have the very same Belfast Sparkling Water clock in the grocery store my dad used to own...I sold it on eBay (in non-working condition!) for a few hundred dollars maybe five years prior to this date.  

the only photo I could find from that night (thehappyone)
