There were several interesting things going on at this show. First, while I was hanging out with the band before the show, some guy came up to us and was espousing the virtues of Desperation Squad, who were just finishing their set. Later, during 3GT's set, he was jumping around wildly and yelling encouragement to the crowd. At first that was fine, but then he got up on stage and took the mike away from Sabrina. Cheerleading from the crowd is one thing, but when you interrupt the show, you're messing it up for everybody. In retrospect, I wish I'd have gone up on stage and told the guy to go back to Burning Man, where he belongs. Sabrina & the sound guy both handled this gracefully, getting the guy off stage on two occasions without starting a fight or anything. Kudos to both for not letting a negative element spoil their show. On a visual note, when I was working on the pages, I noticed that a lot of them looked way too bright. Then it hit me. They painted the stage right wall solid white, over the top of the old stars & galaxies stuff. I hope that's a first coat, `cause white walls would be boring. Enjoy the pix -
