Ah, more Sly. Thanks! I haven't forgotten that I owe you some stories...

Imagine floating above an ecstatic crowd in a small control booth opposite a really small stage with Sly and crew crammed on to it along with all their junk and a Hammond B3 with at least 4 Leslies. A state-of-the-art PA system turned all the way up, the light show going full tilt, Sly is over the top and the crowd is transported. Just another full-tilt night at the Electric Circus for a kid working his way through school with a night job.

I love how there are so many genres in your mixes - I especially look forward to the jazz, although I like nearly all of it quite a bit. Thanks!

So, back in the day, the Electric Circus was a pretty cool place. Custom built with a lot of money spent and lavish attention devoted to detail. The raised stage was really a sound box for a set of massive 15-inch base drivers each with its own 1000 watt Crown amp driving it. Columns of midranges topped with dome tweeters stood at each side of the stage. It was pretty much state of the art with electronics designed by Don Buchla. I wouldn’t really hear anything much better until I attended a Robert Cray concert at the Universal Amphitheater a couple of decades later. They had the cleanest and loudest PA I ever heard. I worked on the EC light-show crew and did special events. Groups like Cat Mother and the All Night News Boys, The Chambers Brothers, Sly & the Family Stone, Ike and Tina Turner, came and went. Tom … who did the Fillmore East’s sound system kept ours alive and we had a deaf stage hand/carpenter who built coffins when he wasn’t working for us and went on to be a Rolling Stones roadie. More later…
