## Notes

West Oakland BART station is crazy busy with folks circling around and gumming things up, but I slide into an open spot before finishing my first go round. Yeah! That's the way you do it! Walk inside the station, climb to the platform, then wait a couple minutes for the next westbound train to arrive. Ten or fifteen minutes later I'm hustling through the crowd at xxx station; gotta move it if I'm gonna get to the square on top. Four blocks later and it's just now 6 ok on the dot.  I grab a seat dead center in the second row, and a few minutes later Big Steve is proposing his own Universal Health Care initiative: unlimited free weed for everyone! Bet that one will go over great with the numbskulls in DC!

Moonalice is onstage and ready to rumble, and with a drum roll from Molo, we're off! It's a fun time, even as the fog blows thicker overhead, adding an edge of wind-chill on top of the high 50's air temperature. Summer in San Francisco: be sure to wear some flowers with your leather jacket!

Roger seems unusually talkative today, offering many tune dedications, and stopping to make chit-chat while Pete swaps from bass to keyboard and vice-versa. I tried to note them above, but I'm sure I missed a few, and it's entirely possible that I got some wrong ... that darn auto-derange function on my not-so-smart-phone is hard to work around.

Like most shows, this one gets stronger and stronger towards the end, and my favorite for the day is the _Revolution_ finale. Yay! Beatles!

Sooner or later audio and video will get posted on the [Moonalice website](http://www.moonalice.com/tour/2017-07-12/union-square-live) in case you want to see or hear things for yourself!
