that's what the stage looked like in montreal for the opener. im guessing a lot of that is caribou's gear along with some of radiohead's stuff, but not all. they brought out a lot more gear for radiohead. see the 12 black screens hanging? they are each 6' square, maybe bigger. look upward to the honeycomb control structures at ceiling level. each is about 8' across, i'd guess and is mostly metal. the whole horizontal mosaic at the top front of the stage is a 5-panel video screen. there is a tremendous amount of weight hanging there and it seems to be supported by rather flimsy scaffolding on the sides. this could have been much much worse. so sad.

sending good vibes to everyone there.

OMG. So sad. edit to add: those b4 and after pics are stunning. last night we were on the floor very close. there are 12 large video screen that hang from the roof. each is supported and controlled by a very large metal structure that can swing and move them all around above the stage. they looked very heavy. im wondering if they were simply too heavy for the temp stage to hold. my thoughts are with all those affected and especially the workers and their families.

fun show. fun visit. love montreal in the summertime.

very cool

That was cool.

why waste pussy on a dog?

the lionel richie appearance at kenny's afternoon set was even better

well, i guess it was too good to be true. TM "accidentally" cancelled my order. A series of internal mistakes and negligent contradictions resulted in them processing my purchase and billing me, then cancelling the order because they didnt process the transaction properly, then refunding my money, then denying it was ever processed or billed and refunded, then acknowledging it was indeed processed and paid for and refunded, then a senior manager filing internal complaints that a department was negligent for cancelling the order, then contacting the box office for an emergency request, then not hearing back from the box office re: that request, then a senior manager calling me to tell me she's trying everything she can, then me waiting ... and waiting ... sigh ...

who's ween?

some really funny stuff over the years. thanx and RIP Jim.

ah, I remember my prom ... no, wait, i dont.

:surprise: ... bring lube ... ps, all volunteers get to go backstage to eat. there's the big backstage area with picnic tables in shade where people chill and you'll likely see some performers there. there's also the special backstage area where only special people get to go, and are sworn to secrecy.
