++++ Show was dedicated to the United Transmission Exchange guys in San Bernadino, CA. After being stranded in San Bernadino for 16 hours, Juan and Junior replaced the transmission in the band's newly acquired touring RV. With a new transmission, New Monsoon hit the road for a 26 hour trek to a waiting Houston audience. Arriving about 11:00pm, they came off Interstate 10 horns a-blaring as they pulled up to the LCC. Set 1 was approx 12:00am to 1:15am and Set 2 was 2:00am to 3:10am. ++++

Lineup: Brian Carey (congas, timbales, percussion), Bo Carper (acoustic guitar, banjo, dobro), Phil Ferlino (piano, organ, guitar, vocals), Jeff Miller (electric guitar, mandolin, vocals), Rajiv Parikh (tabla, ghatham, percussion, voice), Marty Ylitalo (drums, didgeridoo), Ben Bernstein (Bass)
