The Special Goodness live show chronology

|
The Special Goodness performed at the Busch Campus Center at Rutgers University on October 26, 1999, the first show on their Fall 1999 tour. The show ended early due to poor sound quality in the room where they performed. Reportedly, the sound manager blew out the speakers during the opening act and the monitors were unusable by the time the Special Goodness went on.[1] Because of this, the band ended the concert roughly twenty minutes into the set.[2] An interview with the band was conducted backstage after the show and aired on the college radio station WMCX on November 4, 1999.[3]

Tue, Oct 26: walk to nearby Staples the office superstore , and the Big K, for supplies, such as a Vanity Fair for Mikey. Also Taco Bell. learn that pedestrians are forbidden in new jersey, subject to cruel punishments and no sidewalks. Finally we get back n the van and attempt to find Rutgers U...get caught in a massive rush hour traffic jam while on idyllic foresty 2 lane roads. see rutgers signs. after several false leads we find the (very) hidden city of the "busch campus center". all goes well right up to the time when the guys play the show. apparently the sound man blew out some of the PA speakers as the opening act played, and also completely sabotaged the monitors. so, everyone in the room, including the band, is hearing very bad sound, no matter what the band does. sound guy is beyond reason. band makes a tough decision to call the show off early, to save everyones ears and not present the songs in so bad a manner. bummer. much nonsense ensues regarding getting paid. sorry kids, we'll be back, and it will sound much better.
