Buenos Aires 1983

[ALMOSTsaved]

I just obtained my very first copy of the Buenos Aires show from someone super cool. I just popped it into the DVD player (It's my first time viewing) and was completely thrown off by the reversal of stage sides by EVH and MA. Can anyone tell me why they did this?

By the way, this show is amazing!

Probably a reversed copy.

Can't speak about the reversed copy because if that was the case Ed and Mike would be playing "left" handed which they aren't in Momshell's clip. Maybe they were just mixing things up?

I immediately thought, "reversed copy" but when I saw Ed playing the guitar properly that dispelled that myth. Funny thing is, when the band kicked in with "Romeo Delight" I wondered why the spotlights were shining on stage right and even said out loud, "Don't they know where Ed is?"

Don't the drains flow in reverse in the Southern Hemisphere? Perhaps The Brown Sound does as well...

Wow. Ive never seent them like that and Ive seem them a decent amount of times. Yeah, Why?

I think I read years ago that Mike said they did it for the hell of it. Good show. Sloppy in spots.

Toilets do flush counter-clockwise south of the Equator ---- has to do with the spin of the Earth ---- probably spooked the shit outta Ed

Damn.....Where did the last 30yrs go?

I guess that's as good of a reason as any. Thanks!
