CARL
SAGAN LOOP NORTH AMERICAN SHOE EVENT HORIZON TOUR
DENVER
- BLUEBIRD
THEATRE 17th March 2003
An
uneventful day off in Amarillo, Texas and then on to a wet and
rainy Denver morning. Imminent war on the television this
morning. Maybe it's due to the altitude but it's the drunkest
I've ever seen Danny play tonight and it gives him a new loose
jazz feel to some of the songs. A great audience makes for a
good gig (especially the request for 'Bela Lugosi's Dead').
The snow sets in as we bid farewell to the tour bus and the
Coral as we're of to L.A. tomorrow by airplane for the Jimmy
Kimmel show.
The
Bluebird theatre, starring Supergrass and the Coral
Gerry
wasting his talents on Danny's monitors once again
Caught
in the glare of the Monkey Basket camera, top sound engineer
Mike Hornby recoils in horror
Rob
and Dermot discuss the minutiae of keyboard technology
The
kid rides again. He's back and bad
Strictly
enforces 100 Db limit tonight. It's a wonder to think who would
have infringed this in 1913.
Moving
walkways
Planes
shiver on the tarmac at Denver airport
2"
of snow on the wings of our plane.
De-icing
trucks approach the plane
Then
within minutes we're high above the snow and looking down over
river cut valleys in Colorado
A
whole host of physical geography down there
Another
enormous valley
The
plains of Utah at a guess, stretching out into the haze of
nothingness
Ridges
Snow
in the High Sierras
The
Snow capped Mountains of the Sierras
The
last bit of wilderness before we reach the smog and human devastation
that is L.A.
