Recorded: live on March 16, 2003 at the Beta Lounge in San Francisco
Notes from Cork Marcheschi:
This show took place about 7 years ago at the BETA LOUNGE in the Dog Patch neighborhood in SF. The band had been rehearsing and working out some improvisation dynamics when an extremely odd situation crossed my field of vision.
My daughter was 3 years old at the time and attending a Waldorf preschool called the Friends of Potrero Hill. This is a very cool place with a good bunch of parents that are slightly off center. The school was going to lose its lease and needed to find a new location so they were trying to raise some money. One of the other parents (Zane) was a video producer and ran the BETA lounge. We talked about doing a FIFTY FOOT HOSE fundraiser and did it!
We got some ink in the local paper and had a full house. There were old...

In 1967, San Francisco’s Fifty Foot Hose were certainly one of the innovators of a sound that took Psychedelia to new heights and was captured on the band’s one record, Cauldron. They are a totally unique hybrid—on one hand pulsating bay area acid rock, on the other, fractured electronic freakery, becoming one whole cohesive being. The sci-fi-ish video game-like artwork hinted at the sounds within, as did the Limelight label’s pedigree for truly progressive sounds. Band leader, Cork Marcheschi, used homemade electronic devices to create crude and experimental soundscapes and instrumental compositions that were sprinkled throughout the album.
Often starting shows with a swelling rumble that exploded into the first song, they soon developed a rabid following on the SF scene, though there was the occasional totally wrong gig, like when a very-pregnant Nancy had to perform at a Catholic Girls’ school! Still, the group wowed the crowds, performing with greats like Chuck Berry and Fairport Convention.
In addition to his work sculpting, Cork Marcheschi brought the Hose back to the public eye for a new record in 1996 and still performs periodically.
Anthology is pleased to release one such live performance that took place in San Francisco in March of 2003.
