- My third trip with the band to California, the first two having been in 2005 and 2006. This time we just did two gigs - first a warm-up in Slim's club in San Francisco, then the main event, this big festival 200 miles northwards up the coast on the banks of the Eel river, nearby the giant redwood forest in Bigfoot country. It was the third and final day, and we were to close the evening to a crowd of around 10,000. Julian Marley was playing as we arrived late that afternoon, and we headlined the evening at dusk. Hospitality was warm according to Californian tradition, with first class catering. Backstage there was a plastic bath filled with ice and cans of beer and soft drinks, and a big bowl of California weed on a table in the middle of our tent dressing room. The crowd loved us and I met several female fans afterwards who were curious to know (amongst other things) where we came from (Germany, Sweden, USA, England). I really didn't want to go home the next morning...

Dziękuję.
Nie ma za co!
Pete Fisher on the guitar... You're part of my live ever since the Gentleman & The Far East Band live DVD from cologne dropped years ago. To this day it has a huge influence on my life and helps me through whatever hard stuff I'm facing. I accidently stumbled over this video and your account because I'm escaping live with your music once again. Thank you so much for everything you've done. To me, you're a legend!
Hey guy, I'm really touched and flattered by your comments. I was with Tilmann from 2001 until 2008, an absolutely amazing time. It's so good to know that the music gave you joy and strength. Live recordings from my time with Gentleman here www.mixcloud.com/petefisher/ and here soundcloud.com/petefisherlive
Enjoy! Just posted some new tracks I did on my own at home. All the best, Pete
@@Pete-Fisher Hey Pete, I am equally flattered by receiving a response from you! :D Thank you for sharing even more recordings and tracks with us, especially the brand new solo stuff. I really, really appreciate it. Wishing you all the best, stay healthy!

Pete, do you have any other performances from that show? I played with my band and lost the dvd they gave us. I was with the Lion Camp a local crew featuring Ishi Dube and Jah Sun.. I know it's a long shot, but if you have this please post!
Hi, sorry, but I don't have anything else from that day. Clips on YT from other years, but nothing from that weekend as far as I know. All the best, Pete
@@Pete-Fisher actually found it and uploaded it!
