Yeah I think the guy to the left of the stage was
doing live video mixing.Kind of a wierd place to
control visuals when you think about it, since it was
the absolute worst spot in the place to see the
screen. The show was phenomenal. I was wondering, with
the visuals, was that whole sequence of questions
about antisocial behavior and the cuts of the guy
loading a shotgun, training the scope on those people
on bikes, and then the flashes of George Bush and Al
Gore shaking hands, all interspersed with flashes of
nature and beauty... was that specific to Denver or
the same as other shows? I suppose you could interpret
that a bunch of different ways, I dunno I thought the
visuals were very cool. Went well with the music,
which was incredible.Well it was Plaid, on a good
sound system. I havent heard a good part of what they
were playing, and I am pretty familiar with all thier
recordings, at least the albums. It was all remixed
differentley as well, other than a few tracks bieng
played straight. Also I usually dont bitch about this
shit, but Jesus christ all you cool people
chainsmoking, give it a rest for a few! Fuck I know
you have nervous energy and dont know what to do with
your hands other than smoke cigarrette after
cigarrete,I smoked for ten years and I usually dont
mind second hand smoke that much but that place was
disgusting to breath the air in last night. Even my
smoker friends were complaining.
