Since there were a few pro photogs around, I only I snapped TWO PHOTOS (see one above) of the projection screens.
If you look carefully in (the above snap by Erik Jacobs) you can see me front and center for max stereo effect perspective.

THIS SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY... U2 Super Duper 360º Rock Show at the Mega Football Stadium in Boston. No monster trucks or Patriots football team cheering, but my guess is the crowd won't be much different. Since I don't do sports and generally miss mega huge rock shows, the only time I ever went to Foxboro was to see THE WHO back in July '89. Had excellent floor seats. Of course The Who concerts I saw in CA in 1976 were even more fun.
Closest I will ever get to a simpler U2 show is when I saw them in North Carolina on the opening date of their WAR TOUR (with Todd Rundgren.) Check out photos,interviews and info by Deacon Light of that April 23, 1983 show. Look for Bono with white flag up in the lighting rig tower.
----------> SEE YOU THERE !

Just scored this super fun FREE Transformers Voice Change Helmet... Thanx to a cool nintendo chiptune loving nerd dude on Craigslist.
Took the Green Line T Train out to Boston to go to Tekeyé percussion concert and had to grab a nice and cheeeezzy greeeezzzy SLICE at Little Stevie's Pizza on the way for old times sake. PIZZZZZA ! Some of you OBE fans may even remember our pizza delivery tune ZA from Open Your Ears CD (1994).
Then took a peak in the window of Daddy's Junky Music where I worked in the Pro Audio Department selling recording and PA gear back in the early/mid 80s when I first landed in Boston twenty five years ago. Perfect day job for meeting local musicians for my real "career" as a freelance live sound mixer and recording engineer/producer.
Then I continued down Mass Ave over to Huntington Ave to Brown Hall at the New England Conservatory to see Tekeyé. They are a percussion ensemble founded in Bogota, Colombia (almost a decade ago) by Tupac Mantilla who is a graduate of NEC.
Tekeyé conjured up top notch beats and fun vibes, morphing Airto (eye ear toe), Charlie Chaplin, Harlem Globe Trotters, Sesame Street, Mickey Hart's Planet Drum and a healthy dose of Stomp into a show all their own. They specialize in found objects and body percussion. Great flow to the set and superb audience interaction.
My recording engineer/musician pal Dave Sullivan (who has partnered with legendary jazz drum BOB MOSES to form production company Native Pulse) had recorded Tekeyé the night before and recommended that I go to the show. Bob Moses who also teaches at NEC did the session the night before, but had flown out of the country to gig. It was great to see Dave and chat for a moment. Spoke with Rafa García who is one of the members of Tekeyé and recording engineer and gave him my DRUM ARMY CD from early 90s and wished him well and let him know I snapped a few photos of them.
