mixing FOH for Funky Meters (who i worked for at the time) and Taj Mahal at Sheryl Crow's Central Park Gig (and Friends).
same Central Park show - on the flight up, i had just finished reading John Lennon's sister's book, during our setup/soundcheck - i started playing 'Watching The Wheels' on the grand piano - till a roadie asked me kindly to "not play on Sarah McLaughlin's piano!!!"...
same Central Park show (last one) - beating all the roadies to the punch and lighting Keith Richard's (and my) cigarette backstage!
getting a gut wrenching - seemed like an eternity - hairy eyeballed soul check from David Crosby before he signed my copy of "If I Could Only Remember My Name"
first time i finished mixing Funky Meters at Fillmore West and got to listen to Greensleeves by Jorma... as a wide eyed buzzed crowd slowly left the auditorium.
meeting Stevie Ray Vaughn at the tender age of 16 (Couldn't Stand the Weather) and telling him that i was a big fan of Jimi Hendrix... he laughed.
being invited to play an encore of Imagine with Built to Spill at Irving Plaza NYC (where i worked) - first shows after 9-11. I was sitting at the drums playing kick/hat and bass guitar. It was a sold out show.
