x-mas with x

So many years, so many live concerts, so many great bands - but I have never seen X, one of my all time favorites. In only a few hours that dream will come true as X performs live at Slim's in San Francisco. Come hell or high water (we are expecting flash floods tonight) I will be there.

X-mas With X

X, giants of the L.A. punk-rock scene, celebrate the 30th anniversary of their legendary album Los Angeles by playing it in its entirety during a run of Christmas dates on the West Coast — including 2 special San Francisco shows featuring the record’s producer, Ray Manzarek of The Doors.

X’s original lineup — John Doe, Exene Cervenka, Billy Zoom and D.J. Bonebrake — are scheduled to play nine shows in total, beginning Dec. 15 in Hollywood, Calif., and running through Jan. 1 in Portland, Ore.; Manzarek will join the band onstage for the first time in 30 years at concerts on Dec. 28 and 29 at Slim’s in San Francisco.

In addition to a track-by-track performance of Los Angeles, each show also will feature a screening of "X: The Unheard Music,” the 1986 film about the band that mixed documentary footage with live performances filmed between 1980 and 1985.
