Oh yeah, I remember that tour! When they hit Portland they had Be Bop
Deluxe in the middle slot. I remember they had the stage built out onto
the Memorial Coliseum floor, surrounded with a huge black curtain. When
Ted was ready, they doused the house lights and turned on the stage
lights without opening the curtain, so the whole stage was this kind of
glowing black cube with light leaking out here and there. Then there
was a giant guitar noise of some type, the curtain opened, and there
was Ted's Gibson sitting in front of the amps on its stand sustaining
away like everything with nobody there.
Yeah, that one was pretty loud too, now that I think of it.
