Why infamous?

Watch and listen to Allan from 8:42. And see the comments on this post: facebook.com/groups/allanh/posts/1473986726057633/ (Fb group membership required). Also, from a post written by Allan in Feb 2017: "Another major disaster was when our 'management team' [...... and .......] booked us in a venue in Florida to do a 'live' streaming video. This venue had no P.A. and no video recording equipment. That particular venue was incapable of doing a "regular" concert let alone a live streaming video. [Promoter .........] showed up with a laptop and a Go Cam on the side of the stage (most people could only see the bass player Jimmy Haslip’s feet) How are we supposed to carry out a cool streaming concert with NO P.A.?! I even tried to offer our audience a full refund but I don’t believe anyone could hear me."

It was a total farce. I really felt for Allan. It's at that point you realize that the fund raiser for the album is not going to work.

[@delysidd]

I was at this show. It was incredibly, almost unbearably awkward…by no fault of AH’s! The totally clueless promoter didn’t even know they needed to hire a P.A.

[@Truthinshredding1]

You know I wish they had the comments posted at the time... It would have shown you how people felt about it and how Allan felt too.

This made my week

[@jimmythebold589]

No pA, and allan didn't have his wall of Hughs and Kettners, is that a fender amp a twin?? on the floor? to be honest, gary husband told me that allan loved to be buried in the mix, a fact i would attribute to his self deprecation about his playing

[@fusionhar]

Thank you my friend......feels like a GaGa concert OMFG

[@mattmcfall4970]

too bad about sound quality

[@Strenuous1033]

idk I kinda like how it rapes my ears during the opening chords of Fred

[@alonzovillarreal4666]

It was a soup sandwich logistically speaking

[@johnfirm5328]

Sad. And Virgil is not right man for this job. He`s just trying to do these body- building drum hero runs all the time, not listening to the music at all. Drums are overwhelming everything. He could do better job in a metal- prog band. Never liked his playing with Allan. Too robotic and lacking flow. Sorry to say but I think that`s true.

[@user-re2yg7lb5h]

Listen to "Earth." He's absolutely great on it. Allan obviously liked his playing.

[@II-wk8kv]

Always thought this about Virgil
