Back in the early 80s a synth pop I played with called "the name" http://www.synthzone.com/ubbs/Forum35/HTML/001385.html
opened for the Troggs ... they were really, really awful and made us look and sound great. The road crew the Troggs were using even hated them so much that the lighting tech sat at the bar while they played. I asked him if I could operate the lighting desk and he said go ahead. So I actually operated the lighting for the Troggs set. But a very sad set it was.
