Oh, what a time it was!,

This review is from: The Saloon Years (Audio CD)
In the late 80's, one or two nights a month at the Saloon, "Fish and Chips," i.e., Barry Melton and John Cipollina, used a two guitar vehicle (with a worthy supporting cast)to take a San Francisco bar crowd back to the mythical 60's. On those cuts on this CD when Cipollina is around, this is just magical music. Cipolina brought out something special in Barry and it doesn't appear that Barry truly recovered from John C.'s death. We can't go back, but it is great to have this CD to offer a tasty hint of that blues/rock mysticism that these "dinosaurs" knocked out for a $5 cover in the heart of North Beach. If you were ever interested in the SF sound, you've got to get this CD.

This music is just unbelievable. I know some of these guys from other bands, but this recording at a small bar is top notch. The blues have been catching my ear more and more lately, and this has plenty to offer. I let a friend of mine, who was at woodstock, listen to this and he was just blown away. Says he has not heard music like this in years. My hippy years began around 1970, so I missed the big concert, not that I didn't see many through the seventies. This CD just has the feel of a bunch of guys playing music for the fun of it. Some of the most awesome guitar and vocals I've heard. There isn't much recorded work out there from Barry Melton, to bad, but listen to this and enjoy some truly great music.
