You were the one who lashed out in angry multiple exclamation mark complaints.<br /><br />Were it up to me, we'd be back at The Trop this Monday. I could not be more with you there. But, there're a ton of management, financial, union, and logistical complexity you don't know about that means it' ain't likely gonna happen, notwithstanding that it was the best performance environment they've had in the nearly 5 years I've been around them.BobbyGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03807934795994985233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21455473.post-46070408984214588882010-07-24T09:43:54.412-07:002010-07-24T09:43:54.412-07:00Fred, providing a counter-explanation of the probl...Fred, providing a counter-explanation of the problem in a comment reply is not "biting her head off." C'mon. Chill. Don't be on a hair trigger to be offended. There's way too much of that any more on the 'net. I'm as fustrated as anyone over the subpar performance environment in the Lounge. That has long been no secret (but I'm not gonna keep harping on it in the blog. It is what it is). We just have to be grateful that the band has a venue, I guess, given the state of the economy.<br /><br /><i>"You probably won't post this because I'm defending her."</i><br /><br />Wrong, bro'.

I have been to many Santa Fe shows at many different venues and the Tropicana shows were the best over all. I just don't know why the Palms employee and Management puts forth such a Sub par product. If the lights need to be re aimed just do it and make your Hotel look good. Someone needs to let upper management know of this,I'm sure Maloof would not stand for his Hotel to be made fun of.You probably won't post this because I'm defending her,But it's just my opinion and comment.

The light ...Here's "the deal," Susan. The light grid at The Palms is puny relative to that of The Trop. Moreover, we are on our own at the Palms, whereas The Trop gave us their house light guy and full support. We didn't "get rid" of anyone, and Greg, our friend who works the shitty Palms light board for FREE, does the best he can. Re-aiming the lights would require having The Palms engineering dept bring in a lift, and good luck getting them to do so. We cannot just do it ourselves.BobbyGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03807934795994985233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21455473.post-90588087071650143452010-07-20T09:36:47.386-07:002010-07-20T09:36:47.386-07:00Whats the Deal!!

I go to the gig at the Palms and you could hardly see anything the lighting was Terrible!!!! The band was great as always.If you look up there seems to be enough lights to cover the stage,but there were A LOT of dark zones.It's the same I do with my track lighting at home I position them to cover. Did you guy's get rid of your lighting guy from the Tropicana shows?Susan Hillardnoreply@blogger.com
