## Notes

We arrive just before doors open and snag one of the last open parking spots on Yacht Club drive -- kinda like old times! Lots of the usual freaks lined up early, and it's fun spending the next hour socializing before showtime. The weather this afternoon is just exactly perfect: mid-70's, light intermittent breeze and occasional high clouds to temper the blast of the late afternoon sun.

Props to Natty and other folks who posted [setlist](https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/david-nelson-band/2021/terrapin-crossroads-san-rafael-ca-6b8a9a22.html) info for the show!

I thought today's first set was darn good, and I was sorely tempted to stick around, but I would have been raving mad to miss tonight's main event with [Angélique Kidjo](2021-10-29-2), so we left Terrapin at set break.

It was interesting how well David and Peter meshed: almost like they had some sort of back history together in the old times. Oh right. They do!

The country-reggae version of _Panama Red_ was a real hoot: I'm pretty sure I haven't heard David play it that way before; must be Peter's influence to lean into them reggaebilly roots.
