i wasn\'t there so i don\'t know, but i can see how that would be cool at the show, but totally kills the recording with the popping noise.

awesome **** show..unbelieveable. no one mentioned enough about these balloons that went up in the air when the band started playing sgt pepper\'s..me, gavin, gencs, elissa, sallyalli, mandler and a bunch of others blew up 150 balloons that were released and definitely kicked ser asses.

Cool now I know who to blame for those **** things. Had me jumping around all 2nd set just trying to keep them from hitting the mics. Not to mention all of the popping ballons made the levels on the recordings hit 0db. I honestly didnt really start listening to the band until Benefit of Mr. Kite.

You might have blown 150 up. I def. took out at least 30 by letting the air out.

It really distracted from the tunes eith the constant popping of balloons

aaaawwwww come on bro! you gotta admit though it added to the energy of the show, or at least it did up front and it looke KILLER!

Seriously though I hope it didn\'t screw the recording up too much(especially your equipment), cause this is one in the books, I agree with Spacey you could feel the page turn , and I agree with Gencs I didn\'t know what it was till he said so, you could feel the breeze baby, that\'s a giant fuckin page!!

I liked the ballon idea. I do understand that the amount of mushies I consumed this evening might have added to it. I think the energy was wild with them. But, in all fairness, I can understand how annoying and distracting it must be as a taper to have to protect your mic stand.

while i agree that the balloons were a nice *sight*, the sound is what kills it.. the band had even mentioned that they were very distracting while they were playing, considering the pops were much louder than adrian\'s snare drum.. and yeah, it sucks to have to listen to it on the recording too.

In all fairness I was being semi - sarcastic.

Funny story sort of. right before the 2nd Set. Peck looks over the balcony and points to a balloon in his hand. I immediately think he is offering me 1 and grab Kim and run to the top of the stairs. He looks at me and says " I just wanted to warn you they will be coming down in a few." I must have looked so dissapointed

Here I was thinking I was gonna get some N2O. LOL

I felt like an ass.

Balloons are cool and it wouldnt have been a big deal if folks didn\'t pop them. I just let the air out of them and send them back in to the crowd.

At this point in the conversation I say it wasn\'t my idea I just participated.

Sivivon Mazel Tov > I Have A Little Dreidel > Hava Negilah > Wherever You Go There\'s Always Someone Jewish

Holy ****. I couldn\'t remember the name of that last song. We all lost it during the first three, then Wolf really stole the show with that one. I was looking for a cane and top hat.

This whole business was fuckin hilarious, I was sittling on the couch rolling my eyes and laughing my balls right off in fact they rolled across Todd\'s hard wood and I belive they were danced the Hava Nagila all over them

the awesomeness of this weekend surpassed anything i could have ever possibly imagined...

... the greatest part was the fantastic company... leith it was awesome to meet you, todd i can\'t thank you enough for the unbelieveable hospitality, the whole weekend crew: you guys are amazing. I feel so honored to be part of such an awesome family!

hey guys, sorry about the balloons interfering with the recording... it was never our intention to make your job difficult... the mindset of an avid show-goer is much different than a taper, and this is the first time the differences have been brought to my attention.... again, my apologies....

Just fill\'em with N2O next time and there won\'t be any popping, only sucking!

i may be wrong, but i was under the impression that the enjoyment of the showgoers comes before the convenienve of the tapers. granted i know that the tapers make big sacrifices to get these shows to us and i am eternally grateful for this -- it\'s you guys who allowed me to get into the breakfast in the first place -- but come on, i\'ll bet the balloons looked great and i\'ll be the people who were there will have that as a wonderful memory from the show, and me, i\'ll have to deal with popping when i listen to the show. those who tape are on a high pedastle in my eyes, but the experience of the show definitly comes first. i dont remember who said this but it was said by a .infoer, and i paraphrase, \'if the show was all about the recording, shows would take place in a recording studio and we\'d watch them play from behind a glass window and listen to them on monitors or headphones\'.
