Late Update
Waaaaayy too much has been happening lately. The Best Damn Tech show has been undergoing a lot of changes and eating up a lot of time. Check it out at www.bestdamntech.com. Iggs is the barman and often runs a camera, I am a cohost and get to produce and edit the show.
Ok, on to the gigs. Here’s a quick list of the shows Iggs and I have worked on this month:
Gordon Lightfoot, Joy Behar, Jonatha Brooke, Connie Francis, Joe Sample & Randy Crawford, Five For Fighting, The Smothers Brothers, the cast of the Last Comic Standing tv show, Mountain Stage Live, Riders on the Storm, the Machine, Wierd Al Yankovic, Chick Corea & Bela Fleck… there are more but I can’t remember.
Iggs and I both agree that the Smothers Brothers killed. They are (and have always been) the real deal. We loaded the show in, set it up and ran spotlights during the performance. They cracked us up the entire show, resulting in shakey spotlights all night.
Joy Behar talked about ‘The View’. All night.
The Last Comic Standing cast likes to party. I won’t get into specifics but comedians can be a lot fun. (I know, it’s hard to believe…)
Wierd Al brought a SHITTON of gear. It was a monster show, giant crew, tons of lights and band gear, video screens… it was a pain. He busted his ass on stage and the audience loved it. Highlight of the show: the ALTV interview segments on video. AL recut existing celebrity interviews with his own questions. Fucking hilarious. The show sold out so quickly that a second show was set up for later this summer.
Pictures and an new episode to come soon!
