::coming up::
getting back into it....
The following are listed in reverse chronological order (except for Phish,
which are at the bottom). Most of the shows listed are
"ticketed" events; the shows we go to that aren't ticketed probably aren't
listed, and you can assume that this list would be 2-3 times longer if they
were. but i can't keep track of all that. My post about/review of the show
is linked through the date.

Zakir Hussain
et. al - world premier of "Tabla
Beat Science", Stern Grove, San Francisco, CA 8/12/01.
"Unpredictability
is often the soul of a live performance, especially when it arises from
an entirely new fusion of genres and cultures. So it happened that on August
12, 2001, in this same spirit of the unexpected, a group of high-caliber musicians
under the name Tabla Beat Science convened outdoors among the towering eucalyptus
trees of Stern Grove in San Francisco. Melding traditional Indian rhythms,
African vocal styles, modern electronics, low-end dub bass and DJ breakbeats
into a two-hour sonic experience, the music of Tabla Beat Science left an
indelible mark on the thousands of people who were there to witness it."
