# = First-Time Played by CBB / TLG


Line-up:
Trevor Garrod - vocals, keys, ... 
Josh Clark - acoustic guitar, mandolin, electric guitar, vocals
Scotty Rager - drums
Ben Chambers - bass, vocals

Notes: This legendary 3rd CBB show is stripped-down, seated and mostly-acoustic format, representing another side of Tea Leaf Green: more of a focus on softer songs and Trevor's songwriting, in Set 1 and Set 2.  The playing is emotive and intense.  The songs are spectacular.  Third set pushes the tables and chairs aside for a rowdy electric TLG set; the bar hosted happy hour at midnight.

This is the third official Coffee Bean Brown show.  The impression of CBB was Tea Leaf Green acoustic, it came off as a side project to unveil new Trevor songs.  CBB is the sometimes-nickname of the acoustic variations on Tea Leaf Green: formally used in 2002, 2003, and 2004, and revived in 2007.

The show was originally released by Tea Leaf Green and BRO Aftermath Recordings as a triple-CD set, only available to 30 people the night of the concert, with Set 1 and Set 2 labeled with a brown sharpie and Set 3 labeled with a green sharpie. In 2006 the band said to TEAm it's great to circulate this music on Archive.  This is the third of three formative CBB shows, now released on Archive.

QUOTES:

Before the show: A message from the venue: "Hey all, Robert from 12 Galaxies here. Just wanted to say how PSYCHED I am to be hosting Coffee Bean Brown. TLG is one of my Bay Area favorites, and shows like these is why club ownership seemed appealing in the first place. I would get my tix in advance for this one if I were you. I've heard that we may run out of Coffee for the night, and that we'll be serving up Tea after midnight. Talk about epic experiences. See you all there.
Robert, 12 Galaxies"

TREVOR before Let Us Go: "This is a song I wrote a long time ago, the first time I was in the South."

BEN C before Don't Let It Down:  "Alright Guys, yeah.  We're gonna play another one, and uh, switch things around a little bit and move the tables and stuff so everyone can groove for a while.  So if you're sitting down, sorry, but we're going to move after this and get a dance party going."

After SEX IN THE 70's:  Josh: Thank you very much.  BEN C:  We'll be on tour for about 6 weeks, so, see you guys in a few months. Thanks.

After I BELIEVE: Trevor: "Thank Y'all.  Have a good night."

Mid-Peninsula Mark review of the show "The fellers from Moonshine Still were there that night - not playing or anything, just hanging out if the hospitality back bunker, nice guys! They had just finished playind some dates nearby, and were headed throught the City that night or something..."
