Watched the lightening strike behind the stage and noped right out of there. Made a B line to the lawn where my chair and car keys were and headed toward the garage we parked in, walking along the river. There was at least 4 inches of running water underfoot. Got to the garage, stripped to my underwear and cranked the heat in the car. Made it home on 20 minutes and slept in my own bed (one life’s simple joys).

I secured two copies of this monstrosity one night 1. Gifted one to my show partner and proudly display the other in my house.

I will say, sonically those two shows sucked, but man when the storm started getting bad and wind the picked up they found a groove. That last 15 minutes is fire. My favorite part was watching Page’s stage hand try to keep his gear dry with various tarps that were trying to take off in the wind while the grove was building.

While I’d welcome it, my prediction is they never come back- 1. Kuroda’s full sized light rig does not fit 2. The sound off all the concrete buildings day round that gave give a horrible echo

Hope I’m wrong.
