Most unusual places you've had your trons

Most unusual places you've had your trons

2006-07-04 by charel196

I was thinking about the gigs I did in the 70s and 80s and some of the more precarious 
spots I had to take my M400....the worst was up on top of Mt.Baldy ski resort in southern 
California....the only access road was a dirt road with a sheer drop on one side and 
originally the resort owner wanted us to send our gear up on an open ski lift(!) over an 
abyss. Then there was the open air tent right next to the Colorado River in Arizona where 
it was 110 degrees in the shade and the tron seemed to work fine, even tho I was worrying 
about all the speedboats whizzing by the stage and throwing off wakes of water onto our 
gear...didn't reach the tron though. I was surprised the tapes didn't melt in the heat.I won't 
mention the biker bar where i had to set up my keyboards on the floor due to no space 
onstage and there was the typical barroom brawl amongst the cycle gang patrons.
   Anyone else?
