OldNeumanntapr Notes;
This was my 1st and only ZZ Top concert. The security was really heavy at this show. They were even searching people coming into the main gates of the fairgrounds, not just the grandstands. Fortunately I had a work pass because my father-in-law (at the time) was working the Democratic booth at the fair and he had an extra pass. So it not only saved me the fair admission charge but I lucked out because they were not searching the work entrance. I was dreading the rowdy drunk crowds that the fair seems to attract but this show was pretty good. We were right behind the board in the first row of the risers. The floor seems to be the craziest. What we missed out on SPL from close proximity to the PA we made up with a quieter crowd.

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!

OldNeumanntapr Notes:

This ‘review’ I had originally posted to DAT-Heads soon after the show in 1999

Just back from Greg Allman and Friends at the Ventura Theatre.
The theatre people gave me the usual run around even though I had a print
out of the ABB web page which stated the taping policy. I finally went
directly to Robert, the manager, who is a friend of a friend of mine.
He was cool and said he didn’t mind but someone would have to personally
ask the road manager. I relayed this to one of the security people outside
who came back 5 minutes later with a long face and said, ‘sorry dude. You
can’t’. I told him that Robert had already given his OK but they would
have to talk with the road manager. This guy then said he would go back
and ask again. I figured I was just going to get the run around so I
walked down the street and found an open side door near back stage. The
road manager was outside talking to this same security kid. I walked up
and smiled and the security guy looked at me then looked at the road
manager and said, ‘oh yeah. One other thing. You can answer this guy’s
question. You Don’t allow recording do you?’ He asked expecting the answer
no. ‘Sure. Audio, no video’ was his response.

I thanked him and went to go in. The door people were a little alarmed at
my mic stand and wanted to know what it was. All the tables on the floor
were reserved for dinner except for 4 seats on the center table, second
tier. Myself and another taper sat down. He had already paid for dinner, I
hadn’t. Immediately the floor manager was all over me telling me I
couldn’t set up here because it was for dinner people only, blah blah
blah. So I had to pay the $20 on the spot for dinner but got to keep my
killer FOB center location. Right where I wanted to be anyway.

Moral to the story is it helped having the printout of the web page but it
also helped more being able to go right to the manager. But still I had to
work to get my gear inside because I basically had to ask the band’s road
manager myself. I couldn’t believe I was the only stand in the room!
I was expecting more tapers in Ventura. Especially since it was so close
to LA.

OldNeumanntapr Notes:
This was my third Allman Brothers Band recording at Shoreline, and at least by now the venue staff was clued into tapers and let us bring microphone stands into the venue. Whereas the Dead had a designated tapers section, the Allman Brothers would let you record wherever your seat was. This was both good and bad, because even though you could record from up front if you had the ticket, you were still at the mercy of the crowd around you. It’s why they say ‘safety in numbers’. In the tapers section you could be helped by like-minded individuals who all had the common goal of recording, but the Allman Brothers tapers were scattered hither and yon and your neighbors could make or break your recording. At least I was able to run my microphone capsules on the stand with the active cables so they took up as little room as possible. I remember people yelling to security about tapers with larger mics that were obscuring their view and they made them lower their stands. I think this was the only time that I was able to see Martin Fierro play. He added so much to Jerry Garcia’s funk band ‘Legion Of Mary’. I loved his playing.
