Jerry Rig at BC's: 5.24.08
Here we are on our way to see Jerry Rig at a SE Portland neighborhood bar. The sky is dramatic here for a reason. Moments later a major lightning+thunder+downpour exhibition was in effect. We pulled in just as the weather started to turn.
The Rig up in lights! This was more than an evening out to see music. It was a reunion of sorts with folks we have connected with during concert festival season for well over a half a decade now. During their set up some kind of power surge breaker incident occurred, but it all seemed well after the Oregon lotto machine rebooted.
A bit of an experiment and demonstration here. The result being that if you keep your flash off even the most prosaic of bars will look like something from a Wim Wenders/Robby Muller/Sam Shepard film. The results are not nearly as romantic with the harshness of Auto Flash.
The gnomes here are with the band. The main gnome graces the latest Jerry Rig CD and is the official host at many of the High Sierra Music Festival happy hour celebrations put on by this posse over the years.
It seems Dave Fink knows just about every tune in the Grateful Dead/Jerry Garcia songbook. They also season their shows with originals and some other classics.
