Was a LONG day. Things went well though. Amazingly enough the Fox's stage was able to accommodate both band's gear. The folks at The Fox are an amazing bunch to work with...very professional and generous. We didn't get to really hang with Fish or many of the band members, but did get to watch their sound check and some brief exchanges with those guys. Favorite Fish moment was when we were doing sound check he came across the stage on the way to the greenroom and exclaimed sarcastically, "Jesus f*cking Christ, do you need all those f*cking drums!" (we had Jamie's drum kit, their drum kit and Scott's percussion rig up on stage) and gave us one of those classic big Fish grins. Jamie presented him with a Colorado Art Rock Society t-shirt...he thought it was cool.
Larry battled his way through his cold/lung infection (I think he drank about 6 gallons of various juices in the days before the show along with other remedies) enough to be able to perform his singing duties on Court of The Crimson Schizoid Man (which he did wonderfully) and Gretchen managed to make it to the theater just as we were to start doing song run throughs during sound check. (She was in Detroit on business earlier in the day).
Fish's set was fantastic! He really is quite the performer still and the band was very solid. His set blended selections mostly from Clutching at Straws and The 13th Star.
I'm guessing there was over 200 people there...not bad for a show like this on a Thursday night.
Our set seemed to be well received and we gave away over 50 free Pindral live CD samplers. Jamie looked stunning decked out in his kilt too!
I have a bunch more pics on my photo website.
