Does anyone else recognize the two converging stepped struts behind the band, as the front legs of the pyramid that Todd would climb while soloing on "Singring and the Glass Guitar" before jumping off?

@Connie Wall - Thanks, I just knew it. Beyond "Hello It's Me", on the radio, that I loved, I wasn't aware of Todd at the time of the RA tour. I was too young to take myself hours away, anyway. My parents forbade "devil's music". Still too young to see the BTTB tour, but on my own, away at school in Metro D.C. area, my friend convinced me to go see Todd at a Georgetown bar/nightclub The Bayou. I borrowed a friend's I.D. My young mind was soooo blown away by the 7:30 p.m. set (backed by Utopia on this stop) that we went out and immediately bought tickets from a scalper for the 10:00 p.m. show and went right back in. I've never been the same since. (My parents never had any idea all of the concerts I would attend.) A few/couple years later in LA with my parents, I asked Dad to borrow the car to see Utopia at the Greek. My pastor father asked if this was something I would be comfortable taking him to see. Looking back, it's clear he expected a "no" with which he could shame me not to go. Wide-eyed, innocent me believing a closer connection with my distant father was possible said I'd be happy if he cared enough to share an experience that I found meaningful. Having unknowingly called his bluff, I had high hopes for the evening. He even bought our tickets. (The other shoe thuds.) Oh my fucking god! Was that ever the worst awkward experience. I tried to enjoy the encores that I insisted upon staying for while he left to get the car and wait for me. On the way home he guilt tripped me, claiming that if Jesus came that night, he wouldn't make it into heaven. Over the decades it's become a family joke that Dad went to see Todd. Even Mom chuckles. Dad just acts like he hasn't heard. Closer in many ways than ever now, I just hug him and tell him that I love him.
