...In Albuquerque, the El Rey Theater was in pretty bad shape, and it was the power system that proved to be the weak link. As the guys got into the section of new songs, the entire P.A. (club's speaker system) cut out entirely. While Pat did a crazed 70's style drum solo to keep everyones spirits up, the inept sound company did their pathetic best to get things up and running.

Finally things were back online.... for a song and a half. In the middle of "Superstar", the power cut in and out several times, prompting the guys to take a mid-set "power safety break" and wait for things to be fixed.

The fans were mellow at first, expecting a 5 minute delay. Unfortunately, it was determined that a whole new mixing board had to be installed, pushing the delay closer to 50 minutes! Our lighting guy, Dan, sprayed the hot irritated crowd down with water, as the rest of us waited,, crossing out fingers that the problem would be solved. Finally, things were back on track, (Mikey playing in his underwear notwithstanding) and the set was completed. After waiting so long for a weezer show, the Albuquerque fans were not to be denied!
