What a cool story Wedge, did you ever do any shows in Reno, Nv.?
I used to was the house sound and lighting tech, from '97 to '03, at Lawlor Events Center/University of Nevada.

I've been to Reno many times... but I retired in 1994 after I was lucky enough to obtain a compression fracture of my L4-L5 and 3 ruptured discs. Did it at Bally's in Vegas when I replaced a hand lifting a Gamble EX56. I worked for Sound Image in San Marcos, CA. My last tour was as the monitor engineer for the Band on the Jericho tour a few years before Danko died. My new joke is I used to mix bands, now I mix paint... I work 3 days a week at the local Ace hardware store as the dept manager. It gives me something to do... and a good way to keep in touch with whats happening in my rapidly expanding town.
Stories... yeah... a few...

I would just LOVE to read some more of those!!

I was at the '84 (I believe??) show of Motley Crue in Vancouver. Those guys really really know how to kick out a show. They were here recently, but we missed it, much to my chagrine.

Right now it is gold with a black insert, a 350ci engine and a 4 speed.

Soon it will be black with a silver insert, complete C5 suspension, 383 w/ 450 hp, and a 6 speed.
