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.
