"Marco BELLARENTO" ..Then Marco repeated it for laughs (of course).
Jesus Goddamn Christ, me & my crew were front-center for that absolute debacle, all of us progressively losing our fucking minds, but moreso each time Weir would flail into some uninspired shitstorm (i.e., "Touch Of Grey").
Joe & Marco obviously have no idea what's going on (I heard it was due to electrical problems/delays caused by rain/lightning during Old Crowe Medicine Show's afternoon set; pushed everyone back), and they're losing their cool just as much as we are. (I remember Joe just looking like someone knocked his science fair project in a mud puddle, me screaming out from one-deep behind the security rail: "Don't worry, Joe! We're here to see YOU! Just have fun!")
At some point, Joe & Marco attempt to playfully transition the end of a Weir song into the start of their set, and a Weir tech gets on the mic and ACTUALLY INTERRUPTS THEM. (This remains the only time I have ever seen an artist "stopped" in the middle of their set.) Joe just tosses up his sticks in utter frustration.
So they finally get started, and sometime in the middle of the set, Joe looks over his shoulder toward the Magic Hat Stage soundboard (stage left, onstage), and THE SOUNDGUY ISN'T EVEN THERE. (Once again, still the only time I've ever seen this.)
What's funny is that, as much time as they were delayed, STS9's setup wasn't ready yet, so The Duo did two more songs. One was Myxamytosis; only time I've seen it live.
I don't really see them returning to AllGood. Thanks, Bobby!
