I flew into Santa Ana, CA to see G perform because his previous Seattle show was cancelled and previously I saw G perform some yrs ago at Neumos in Seattle so I felt it was worth the trip. The venue was a decent size area located in the basement but covered the entire area below. Great sound quality in there, bar in back, bathroom and exits to one side, very simple. They had a Sublime cover band finishing up when I got there that really did a great set. G Perico performed well but I didn’t feel that same intensity of the first show I seen him in back in Seattle. It made me wonder if maybe its better to only see artists once. He didn’t really do anything wrong I just didn’t feel the same fire like the other show that consisted of his “so way out” era of music. Even some dudes at the Taco truck asked me where I was from and I said West Seattle, so I told him I saw another show and wanted to see the same delivery, -yet the stranger asked me if the Seattle show was better and I said it was. Maybe I am just bummed I saw two terrible shows recently (J Stalin El Corazon & Kyle Neptune) which has my radar for shit shows really sensitive right now. Or maybe I just needed G Perico’s music during the time when I needed to hear that music. I find myself skipping certain tracks now in my playlist so I guess that’s just how it goes but still well worth the money live.
