Small arena
Almost like clock work
Elvis Costellos's tour bus
Awesome show we where
another crazy ride
Old deadheads dont die... they just not fade away
First Show ... don't remember much
Much admired show
wish could remember
Really?
The strangest of places
Today I was reminded of this show. They played the CCC only twice. I've always wondered if the fact that they never returned was that it was a financial bust. I don't know that it was, but it might have been.
Small venue. A 6000 seat hockey arena, or so it appeared to me. As the seats filled up it dawned on all of us (I mean everyone there) that the floor (where the ice might be some day) was empty. No seats there. No tickets there. So almost everyone went down to the floor. Of course people tried to get very close to the stage, and many did. I wasn't interested in squirming my way forward, so I stayed where I was, very happy just a bit right of center, with lots of room to stretch and relax. Fifty feet from the stage.
The sound quality there was pretty good. I remember an outstanding Deal. I don't remember Caution, but it may have been different enough from what I might expect that I didn't recognize it. Don't know.
Not that you care: One of Brent's first shows. First Brent show for me, and possibly the only show of his I saw. He was innocuous, playing and ... wait ... I thought Donna was gone. Who's that woman singing? Oh. It's the new keyboard. Over time I learned to despise Brent and what the band sounded like with him. Mr. Fantasy -> Hey Jude makes me cringe. All effect, no soul. All hook all the time. Same thing that Rick Wakeman did to Yes. F****d it up.
If you thought that was not interesting, then here's an opinion that will bore you even more. Bruce Hornsby. He was good. As I understand it, offered a permanent position and turned it down. The shows that included him and Branford Marsalis were special, for sure.
