Having been born and raised in Jersey - the agribusiness industry that rules the central vally was culture shock to me. The early seventies were the time the grape pickers actually wanted to get paid a living wage and staged boycotts. The growers were in the habit of literally shooting anyone on their property that joined the boycotts. I have never drunk a glass of Gallo wine again. And I transferred to Berkeley - out of the central valley.
It just seems odd to me that the band would play Fresno but not San Francisco. Of all the places on the west coast I would imagine that San Francisco would have a music audience.
