An amazing musical reunion. Of all the shows I have seen this year, it ranks as one of the best. 

Music flowed joyously! 

While generally considered a Venice Beach band, this show in La Jolla, California was a “hometown” return for a few of the band members, so it was full of local family and friends, and a lot of us from Venice/L.A. drove down too.  Many old friends reconnected –and then we reconnected with some great music! 

Zoo People delivered a rocking playful two full sets of originals and covers that had the crowd going! The energy peaked with an inspired Magic Carpet Ride, which I believe was a first for them. 

The overwhelming feeling in the crowd after the  show was: Why did they ever stop playing, and when will they again!

Thank you Zoo People, and Beaumont’s, for a real great time!
