Oh, you did not enjoy Anekdoten?

They played a small club in East Lansing opening for Discipline.

I swear, I was the only person present who knew who they were.

The dance floor was empty.

Their tour manager was videotaping the show.  After about two minutes of 
their first song, I apologized to him, "I'm going to mess up your camera 
angles" and proceeded to put myself as close to the stage as I could 
get.  Hey, the guitar player had the same delay line I have and they had 
a Mellotron.  It was King Crimson from five feet.

I was able to beg a copy of the video but with the promise that I would 
not distribute it, so don't ask.

It was a low budget tour, so they were taping two shows per tape, so I 
also got the previous night in Detroit.

I've got a bunch of Arena albums, too.  My, we should trade memories. (-8
