Notes About This Tour
I was at the East Lansing concert where Michael Erso played bass. Tom Fowler was directing him from the front. Jenison Fieldhouse was the old Michigan State University basketball stadium with terrible acoustics. The echoes were so bad that you couldn't tell whether he was doing a bad job or not. When Frank would try to talk to the audience, you could hardly understand him.
