thanks for the concert report jimmy & david...glad to hear you both enjoyed the band...so sorry to hear about your experience of crosby's attitude...its too bad because it only works against him (or any performer) not to be more gracious to those who are fans even if he is having a bad day (which it sounds like he was)
from what i know of his personality he is always honest to a fault & never pulls any punches...so when he's not in the mood to chat or concerned about a sound during check, well i would not expect him to mince words... this isn't an excuse of the kind of behavior you witnessed of course, especially knowing what a kind & considerate guy you are...& he could have excused himself from speaking with you further in a kinder way (if he wasn't feeling up for it) but i'm not sure that is his personality... HOWEVER, approaching a performer to talk before a show rather that after the show is almost sure to be a very different scenario...& i've heard that crosby is very approachable during after show meet & greats when he is geared up for it (same with nash...stills & young on the other hand usually do not participate...) as nice as it was for the club owner to let you in, perhaps he should have consulted with the performers on whether this was okay with them because like randy says, sound check is when they are working that time can be EXTREMELY stressful if things aren't sounding good... well that's my 2 cents for what it's worth.. ******************************************** Kate Bennett: www.katebennett.com Sponsored by Polysonics/Atlantis Sound Labs Over the Moon- "bringing the melancholy world of twilight to life almost like magic" All Music Guide ********************************************
