"Brilliant is the word, and no other, to describe the quality of skills that have gone into the making of this picture" —Bolsey Crowther, The New York Times

Set in a Japanese prisoner-of-war camp in Burma in 1943, where a battle of wills rages between camp commander Colonel Saito and newly arrived British colonel Nicholson. Saito insists that Nicholson order his men to build a bridge over the river Kwai, which will be used to transport Japanese munitions. Nicholson refuses, despite all the various "persuasive" devices at Saito's disposal. Finally, Nicholson agrees, not so much to cooperate with his captor as to provide a morale-boosting project for the military engineers under his command. —Hal Erickson

Marshall Tucker Band

Tuesday, May 29, 7:30 pm

In the early fall of 1973 Marshall Tucker Band was still a young and hungry group out to prove themselves every time they hit the stage. Their debut album had already spawned numerous hits. "Way Out West!"--Live from San Francisco 1973, their latest CD is a time capsule from that period. "We were a bunch of young guys who didn't know any boundaries," says founding member and longtime lead singer Doug Gray.

Still led today by founding member and lead singer Doug Gray, they represent a time and place in music that will never be duplicated.

Gillian Welch

Friday, June 1, 8:00 pm

Following standard forms drawing heavily from the old time and bluegrass traditions, Welch and Rawlings weave profound musical and emotional complexity into what on the surface sound like very simple songs. Never is a note or a word wasted - everything serves the song.

Welch's pitch is perfect, and her phrasing and ability to convey emotion have developed to a level that puts her on par with some of the great American masters in any genre. -SF Gate
