Well, readers, this is good news. I was pretty bummed about having to miss the Slow Foods Rocks festival, mostly because I would have loved to see Phil Lesh and (especially) Medeski Martin and Wood. Fortunately, MMW - one of the best live acts in either rock or jazz - is coming back to town. Here are the details:
MEDESKI MARTIN & WOOD
Thursday, November 20th, Doors 7:00PM/ Show 8:00PM
The Fillmore
Tickets are $32.50 for general admission plus applicable service charges…all ages

Slow Foods Rock festival, San Francisco
The reviews that I heard were really positive about Phil’s show at Slow Foods Rock. Heard from a couple of old Dead heads that really thought the show was “right on.” I wasn’t there, because I was covering the Metal Masters show the same day down at Shoreline. That wasn’t a bad trade off, but I would have gladly traded in Judas Priest for Phil. Maybe not Motorhead, though. Here’s what I missed:
Set list:
Playing In The Band
Bertha
Good Morning Little Schoolgirl
Deal
China Cat Sunflower
I Know You Rider
Sugaree
Uncle John’s Band
Jam
Help On The Way
Slipknot!
Franklin’s Tower
Sugar Magnolia
