i had the distinct experience of being the dressing room security guard
for tesh and company when they played here in tucson. it was pretty lame,
actually. i sat around and finished reading "a canticle for leibowitz"
whilst tesh and company traded jump-ropes, exercise bikes, and massages in
order to "get psyched for the show". tesh himself cranked up a few enya
discs and even enigma (he started up tubular bells II and
then decided after about five seconds that it wasn't good enough). the
show was very, very well lit. i remember four giant truss with about ten
of those computerized multi-gel/gobo lights each. the amount of money in
that company was intense. 
i guess if you're in a rock and role band, you gotta show the money.
