Topic: San Diego Throwback Block Party

I just got a blast from one of the local venues.
Anyone in the Socal area that might like this?
Celebrating 40 years of Streetbeat.
Flashback to the good old days:

Steppenwolf
Blue Oyster Cult
and more bands.
3-10 pm July 21

Music, food and spirits take to the streets of Little Italy in San Diego with a raging block party.

Tickets onsale May 12 via the Anthology box office.
Sounds like fun to me!

BOC (a band Ive seen more than any other except Pink Floyd/RW/DG, living near Stony Brook and neighbors of Foghat, and following them up and down the Jersey shore) was extremely disappointing (for the first time ever) at the OC Fair last summer. Rushed through a very short set and outta there. Roeser was sloppy, and there was no energy at all. Foghat did a solid set before them and the crowd was into it, so it wasnt a crowd issue.

That said, a street fair in San Diego cant be bad if it were 2 garage bands and a DJ, so I'll probably be there, thanks for the heads up!

Answered my own Steppenwolf question..it is John Kay And, so definitely worth the ride.

ETA:  VIP tix $160???  And there were concerns about JB at $90?

GA is $50 and that is good enough for me as we will be walking around and eating/drinking. BTW,thanks for the heads up on Eric Johnson at the Coach House. We'll be there. smile
edit: We saw EJ at the Anthology last year and the damned place split the sets and didn't advise us after I had got the tix. Ran us out after the first set for the next group. yikes And that was $50 per set which were short ones.
