You know, I am going to miss getting semi-regular doses of Howard Ungerleider's designs.

you and me both. Been a real treat. I paid a ton of attention to it in Seattle. Front row you lose a lot of the overall effect of the light show. Not disappointed in the least though. The view from the rafters must've been incredible to see it from above

 

I've seen it both close and far, and it's amazing how much of the lights you miss by being close. Of course, if you can see the light show, you probably can't really see them!

Merely, you are exactly right. Since I usually get some pretty good seats, one of the things that I like to do is swap my seats during the "hits" at the start of the second set with a carefully selected dad and his son sitting waaaaaay back. I'll look for my "victims" while getting beer during the first set, and discuss it with dad during halftime. Usually, the kid comes back with great pics on his phone and eyes just agog, dad looks like a hero, and I get to enjoy Howard's expertise for a few songs. Everyone wins.

They played Camera Eye in Seattle even though it was supposed to be 'A'. Think they're not sticking to the strict rotation anymore.

 

I can live with that. At least it won't be predictable then. :)

 

Ah, I never tire of Subdivisions! :dweez:

TM, I always tell the person with me, when I explain that we're swapping seats, that this doesn't really become a good story until dad and son don't come back with my tickets! I've swapped about 15 times, and so far, I'm 15 for 15, but there's always a first.

Don't blame you. Gonna hope to see Xanadu, then go to bed.

Wait a minute, TM. That's crap Think of how you'll feel in a year, knowing you went to bed when you could see live Xanadu on your computer for free? You'd give a nut to see that in 2016, so you won't give an hour now? Push through the pain!

Intermission and I'm still awake! I'm going to try to hold out for the 35 seconds of Xanadu that we usually get . . .
