Weird vibe. Lots of swirling chaos. At one point, as we were working this huge irate patient that just had his tooth chipped from a straight punch from one of the leaders of the Hells Angels we know (a poor choice of assaulters - what are you going to do, take this guy to court?), the emergency broacast signal starts blaring on the TV because of flooding on southbound 101 - this graphic came up like on the deck of the Enterprise when the Khan attacked. Talked to way too many messed up trippers.
John Mayer's sound was messed up and too loud. There were more people in the lobby for his set then are usually there for intermission - not a good sign.
The friends are Rob Barraco, Barry Sless, John Molo, Joan Osborne, Barry Campbell (apparently from Dylan's band). The opened with this insane huge barrelling storm version of Cold Rain and Snow, so out there that it took me well into the lyrics to recognize it. It nailed me, from the get go. The Phil zone was huge, booming, massive, below the bottom of human hearing range but well within the feeling range. Went into a nice loser, then I lost track of the show from calls. Ended with a heartfelt Gimme Shelter from Joan, encored with Box of Rain. A storm set. Ended around 2, but that's only midnight in Kauai time.
All the way home the Camry was hydroplaning or being blown into other lanes. Saw several wrecks, some rather intense looking ones. Quite a shift from driving that convertible new mustang yesterday morning. Oops, sorry, day before yesterday I mean.
