Sound on house power, lighting on generators.

Amazingly enough, the old (now defunct) Market Square Area only had 1600 amp 3 
phase house power.  After you subtract the house loads, there was around 400 
amps left for the talent.  Woefully inadequate for the large arena shows that 
started up in the late 70s.

We would bring a 300kW Cummins set on a Landoll lowboy with a 300 gallon fuel 
tank.  It got parked on Market Street below the arena.  They core drilled a 
hole through the floor of the arena where we ran the cables to the distribution 
boxes backstage.  Show up, park the truck, find the road manager, get paid, sit 
back while the electricians ran the cables (union facility) and flip the switch 
for the sound check and later for the show itself.  Otherwise it was down time 
wandering around backstage, eating and staying out of the way of the crew.

Did a lot of shows there, and at the Clay Courts on the IUPUI campus in the 
summertime.  Not a bad deal for part time work that paid cash and gained one 
access to backstage and the buffet for the crew.

you know, there's a company out there making a replacement "plexi" front for
old Marshalls, where the volume goes up to 11. lol.  If I still had my old

Neil went on his 2-3 year exodus after the death of his wife from cancer.  
Shortly (around 10 months) before his wife passed, his daughter was killed in a 
car accident.

He considered himself "retired" after his wife's death, and went on a 2-3 year 
sabbatical, covering over 55,000 miles throughout North and South America on 
his motorcycle.

This is covered in detail in Rush's latest DVD on the history of the band.

I seem to remember there was some concert flyer too, that made reference to
the song, and also a Ferrari GTO, along with doing a drum solo with just
enough time following it to swig back some Canada Dry.  That concert was
awhile ago, so I'm a bit fuzzy.  The fuzziness is do to the passing of time,
and nothing else that happened at the concert, honest!! hee hee

Neil must be a bit of a gear head.  After his wife passed away, and his
daughter died, he took some time off and did an extensive tour on a BMW bike
up north.  I believe following this motor tour, he wrote his book.  Can't
remember the name off the top of my head, but I'm sure you can Google it.

Here's a song, set in the future when cars are banned...

Rush Red Barchetta Lyrics

My uncle has a country place
That no one knows about.
He says it used to be a farm,
Before the Motor Law.
And on Sundays I elude the Eyes,
And hop the Turbine Freight
To far outside the Wire,
Where my white-haired uncle waits.

Jump to the ground
As the Turbo slows to cross the Borderline.
Run like the wind,
As excitement shivers up and down my spine.
Down in his barn,
My uncle preserved for me an old machine,
For fifty-odd years.
To keep it as new has been his dearest dream.

I strip away the old debris
That hides a shining car.
A brilliant red Barchetta
From a better, vanished time.
I fire up the willing engine,
Responding with a roar.
Tires spitting gravel,
I commit my weekly crime...

Wind-
In my hair-
Shifting and drifting-
Mechanical music-
Adrenalin surge...

Well-weathered leather,
Hot metal and oil,
The scented country air.
Sunlight on chrome,
The blur of the landscape,
Every nerve aware.

Suddenly ahead of me,
Across the mountainside,
A gleaming alloy air-car
Shoots towards me, two lanes wide.
I spin around with shrieking tires,
To run the deadly race,
Go screaming through the valley
As another joins the chase.

Drive like the wind,
Straining the limits of machine and man.
Laughing out loud
With fear and hope, I've got a desperate plan.
At the one-lane bridge
I leave the giants stranded at the riverside.
Race back to the farm, to dream with my uncle at the fireside

The first one has more suspension adjustment than a DS21, I'm sure.

The Barchetta might be a 212, it looked slightly newer than the 166MM 
I found a pic of. The hood scoop is the longest I've seen on any of 
the late 1940s/early 1950s Ferraris. I found a 212/225 with a long 
hood scoop, but it was actually two scoops side by side.

The first one has more suspension adjustment than a DS21, I'm sure.

The Barchetta might be a 212, it looked slightly newer than the 166MM I found a 
pic of. The hood scoop is the longest I've seen on any of the late 1940s/early 
1950s Ferraris. I found a 212/225 with a long hood scoop, but it was actually 
two scoops side by side.

Easy, they set the air-ride to "normal" when getting the thing inspected.
Oh, and the case of vodka/whiskey/etc for the guy doing the inspection...

Or number 2 is maybe a 166 Barchetta?  I'm not really up on my old Ferraris.
