Galactic at the Mystic I checked out a fun show by Galactic at McNear's Mystic theatre in Petaluma last Friday (September 3, 2004). When I first got to Petaluma I checked into my room at the Metro. The Metro was a nice base to investigate Petaluma from as it was a short walk to downtown and the area where the Mystic is. After wandering around for a while I decided to eat at the Thai Issan. I had seen reviews for this restaurant on the web and received positive comments about it at the Metro. I had a nice meal which segued after a short stop in a local watering hole to the show at the Mystic. Galactic is an interesting funky jam band. There were really at their best when they were being more funky but had some very fun long jams. I didn't think the vocals really added much to their music. I've heard the vocalist won't be on the next tour. Considering everything I prefer WSP/SCI style bands more but had a very enjoyable evening. The Mystic is a very nice small venue. I won't hesitate to go to another show there. ( Sep 09 2004, 08:56:32 AM PDT ) Permalink
