| Notes | We were second row, right in front of James. I've never felt an impact like that before, nor since. They took the stage, ambled into "to Sheila" and we thought, cool, this is nice. Then the big part came with drums, distortion and a cement wall of sound, and I literally blew back a few inches, my body shook, swayed back and vibrated. I've worked live shows many times. I've had the venue manager shove db meters in my face saying it was too loud on a whole lot of occasions. I gaurantee I've never mixed anything that loud before, and although I've apparently tried, I tell you with complete certainty I never came close to that. WHFS broadcast this, and in their over 20 years of rockin' service to the community of DC, they were huge Pumpkins fans. But they botched this badly, omitting Blank Page and Transmission from the broadcast. I pleaded with them, but nothing. Somebody somewhere has these songs, probably in PRE-FM form...where are you? So then about 4 months ago, with no warning, WHFS went Latino...I guess it's karma in action. Some FM noise during BWBW, sorry. I'm clear on the other side of DC (Oh it's only a city and burb's of over 6 million people!) from their broadcast tower, a good 30 miles of dense city, power lines and freeways. I did my best, believe me. |
