“Comedy Nights” @ a state-of-the-art music venue? Little kids' birthday parties? Someone’s 50th? Grossly USELESS WASTE OF EVERYTHING was created for.
Mike you stole it.

With the deepest sadness, Stella says goodbye to our longtime friend and sound engineer Scott “Vid” Andreau. Everyone who knew Scott, loved him. He was a huge fan of the Dead, and all of music. He supported Stella Blue's Band for more than a decade in the rain and the sun and the cold and the wind. He was there first to set up and always the last to leave, hoofing the gear across fields, running the sound, dancing all the while and packing up after the lights were off, and everyone was gone.

If you didn’t know Scott, and you went to one of our shows, you probably loved him anyway because he was so talented and dedicated to his craft, always making the band sound bigger and better than it ever really was. In recent years, we were happy to play at his Barnum Ballroom, and proud that he'd finally gotten his own place to have it his way. (You can imagine: he did the sound up right there.)

We will miss you forever Scott and your sweet sounds and your humor and your spirit of “never say it can’t be done.” Cause you always did it. There isn't a dry eye in the NY jam band community. And there's a smile on every face when we think of you. You are gone way too early. We trust you are running the board in a better place, where the sound is just exactly perfect, feedback is banished to hell, and the angels lug the gear. Rest in peace.

The Rolling Stones staged one of the most unusual intended for TV music specials ever on this day in 1968. Their Rock and Roll Circus included performances by them, the Who, Jethro Tull, Marianne Faithful, Taj Mahal and John Lennon, Yoko Ono, Eric Clapton, Keith Richards and Mitch Mitchell of the Jimi Hendrix Experience under the name the Dirty Mac surrounded by big top trappings with Mick Jagger as the ring master.

The 15 hour marathon proved so exhausting that Mick considered the Stones set to be unacceptable, leading him to nix the planned TV airing of it by the BBC. The distilled recording of it was not released for another 28 years.
