Yep… this was a great one!
Brooklyn forthrightness...
Now we’re off to Staten Island and the St. George Theater. ‘Twill be another good one I’m sure.
Remember this? It's a phone booth!
We want to thank HOT TUNA JORMA JACK and JUSTIN.
The Guild for EXCEPTIONAL CHILDREN and the Raccoon Lodge are grateful that you made the trip to Brooklyn. The fans were treated to a rare performance by HOT TUNA in BROOKLYN NY .
THE set-list was one for the ages. Our sound company Boulevard Pro gave the audience an unique sound experience.
Grand Prospect Hall as a venue was memorable in many ways. The grand ballroom and the boys on stage gave a perfect combination of sight and sound.The HFT fans enjoyed the music from the first note to the last shout of “HFT”.
Thanks again to everyone that came out to support GEC of Brooklyn.
We are looking forward to hosting HOT TUNA again.
No video? Come on!
Off to sing ‘Watch Her Ride’ loud with my computer speakers turned up…
@johno
Seeing Tuna do Santa Claus Retreat at the Grand Ballroom would have made your life even more complete then it already is!
Yup – I used to go there for Christmas parties back in the late 50’s. I still remember the Grand Ballroom – it was huge to a kid. To go back and see Tuna there was like coming full circle. It was very nostalgic to go back after all these years. It was like seeing Santa Claus all over again. Been So Long was perfect. Thanks to the Raccoons and of course Hot Tuna.

It’s The Grand Prospect Hall. Been around forever. Looks like a old European palace’s ballroom. It has many rooms, once was a speakeasy, has a garden terrace, and overall a very cool place used mostly for weddings, engagement parties, bar and bat mitzvahs, company parties, etc.
Check it out.

No sir. I also pointed that out. But we can get the set list form setlistfm.com
Hey, am I the only one seeing the 4/11 Fur Peace set list below the Grand Prospect pics where I’d expect to see Friday’s set list? It was a great show, saw some old pals, and I’d love to refresh my memory of what we heard before and after Jack’s cake! Thanks!
Hey Jorma, don’t ride the bike in Thailand!

Sorry that I couldn’t make the show, but the Joker poster is priceless! Is that a Kevin Morgan creation?
