The Cal Poly Performing Arts Center is a great place to see a show. The acoustics are wonderful and the venue is not too big (1,300 capacity), so it’s very intimate. I was 7th row center for this show and the recording sounds really nice. This was my second Tull show and I thought the band was very tight. I worked the load out on this show afterwards and I never worked so hard in my life!!! It took about four of us to load a 55ft semi trailer with all of Tull’s equipment. That was the only time I ever worked at the PAC because it was back breaking work! (This was my first and last time working as a stage hand for the Performing Arts Center. I quit right after this show because I realized that all they wanted was grunt work.) I remember Tull’s road manager, in his English accent, barking out instructions like,’Flip this one end to end my pretties and stack in there on that one.’ Over and over again!! None of the crew knew that I had recorded the show and then run the gear out to my car and locked it away before joining the other ‘grunts’ and loading the truck. I still have the backstage pass, not that I was able to make use of it during the show because I was sitting like a stone in the audience!
