So...
You wanted to know what it's REALLY like to live on the road with
a pop band...
(that was the opening slide of the show)
I spent a month on the road with Iceland's finest, Gusgus, doing the lighting on the Cold Breath97 American tour, with opening act Lamb, from Manchester UK. It was a total blast. We started in Florida, worked our way up to New York and Boston, up into Canaduh, then worked across the continent to Vancouver and Seattle and Portland, then worked our way down to Los Angeles. The following links will tell the 'war story' from the place, whether it be the incompetence of the shipping agents that caused the first date to be cancelled and rescheduled, or maybe the saga of my abandonment in a certain Pacific Northwest city. So, follow the links below, and simply click the arrow at the bottom of each page to go to the next stop, or click the "back' button on your browser to return here, and, most of all..... enjoy.... I know I did!

Quick note: I want to thank one of my favorite people in the whole world, Carla Sallee (see, I spelled your last name right this time... LOL), for taking a copy of most of these files and emailing them to me. I KNEW the metal detectors at LAX Airport were going to erase my copy of them- sure enough, they did.
