Sources: Various (mainly A to A+)

Notes: My latest collection of live songs from the best performance band around. These songs were either introduced first in San Francisco or were ONLY played in San Francisco or have something to do with the city where it all started. At any rate, the performances are all IN San Francisco at different venues. Appropriate, don’t you think? The collection spans 1992 to 2003 (somewhat chronologically) and everything in between...San Francisco Style! Note: I broke one of my compilation rules on this one. I have repeated a track or tracks that are on other compilations. Too bad...these songs belong in San Francisco and on this compilation.
