Thanks Jimmyboy, we appreciate it. All musicans on the list or reading these posts will know how hard it is to open for a legend like Arthur and Love. We seemed to get a good response from the audience, the band and the venue's management. The soundboard DAT we got from both nights sounds KILLER too.
Getting to finally meet and talk to Johnny Echols was cool, and all the band members couldn't have been cooler with the sharing of equipment and mutual "slaps on the back" afterwards. Here's hoping it's not the only time Corsica will open for LOVE.

Hey Jimmyboy, no problem. Shoot me your address and I'll get you a CDR copy of the DAT and a couple of other things. The guy from Santa Cruz is interested in booking us as opening act for several other touring groups this summer............

Hi All! 
I was at the Thursday show and I have to say that I am very happy I made the trip to San Francisco from Los Angeles (via train I might add). The show was well worth the trip! (oh, and I also fell in love with San Francisco what a nice little town  ) What a great venue, (kudos to DJ. LARS!) and I was also very suprised at the difference between a San Fran crowd and the usually more aggresive L.A. crowd. I also must say that I was very pleased with Corsica's performance. What a great opening band! They have a new fan in me. I hope they make it out this way soon *hint,hint*  . It had been at least a year since the last time I caught a LOVE show and though, yes .. Arthur wasn't at his best, I appreciate his efforts and the fact that he hung out after the show to sign some of our stuff and take pictures was very gracious of him. I too appreciate the rest of the band "supporting" Arthur in his ..well, I don't want to be rude or disrespectful but in his lagging with the lyrics and whatnot. It's obvious that he must be dealing with something heavy. I just hope that he's feeling better and that if he is going through something difficult, that things improve and he's in better spirits. Thanks guys Arthur, Dave, Rusty, Mike,and David! ... Oh, and Mr. Echols rocked the house as well!..What an amazing blues player he is! Man, it's been almost a week now and I'm still high from that experience!
L.A. MISSES YOU GUYS!!!

I was at the second show at the Cafe du Nord, and it was to my eyes and ears a very good one. In contrast to several other posters, I understood from a number of folks (including our roadie friend who got us free passes) that the Wednesday show was superior. I didn't have any trouble enjoying the Thursday set, and I thought the inclusion of the "greatest hits" component was tremendous... as someone previously mention, "7 and 7 Is" really energized everyone.
No keyboards... but as this was the first time I'd seen Love even though I've been a fan for more than 20 years I wouldn't have known that. Sort of explains why they didn't do "Que Vida?", which I was really hoping for.
The moment of the night for my friend and I was actually walking down the steps... we got to the club a little late, and "A House Is Not a Motel" was blasting as we arrived. I'll never forget the good feeling that coursed through me as we heard those welcoming strains of incredible music.
