I stood next to the boxing ring in the crowd on DLR's 91 UK tour and for the life of me have no idea of how he made to the ring without anyone seeing.
Anybody know?

we were six seats away from the soundboard in '86, EEAS tour...Dave was hiding in a roadcase, two roadies pushed the case up the aisle, back to the soundboard. it wasn't the boxing ring, just a little platform behind the 'board. we could see Dave watching the solos onstage until he got up on the platform.
i'm pretty sure they did the same thing for the Skyscraper and ALAE shows.Writing In All Proper Case Takes Extra Time, Is Confusing To Read, And Is Completely Pointless.Comment

Katie, I think twonabomber was just making a reference to a previous tour in which he went through the crowd to a platform in the back of the arena, and no one knew it. He wasn't disagreeing with you. BTW, I'm pretty sure that they did move Dave to the boxing ring in a road case.Comment

wait, the surfboard was Skyscraper, the mic was ALAE, right?
Dave played Blossom (same venue for opening night of the Sam and Dave tour) twice, and they can't hang stuff from the rafters there...so there were a bunch of guys in robes carrying the mic (and Dave) on their shoulders. can't remember if they had a similar rig for the surfboard or not.Writing In All Proper Case Takes Extra Time, Is Confusing To Read, And Is Completely Pointless.Comment

I saw the Skyscraper tour in '88 at the Worcester Centrum. Dave had on the hooded robe that you see in the "Paradise" video. He jogged slowly down the ailse with his hood on and head down surrounded by security, just like a boxer in a high profile championship fight. He wasn't really hidden, in fact it was pretty much part of the show. I'm sure this was done differently pending on the tour/venue (I don't recall him doing this when I saw the '91 tour for instance).Comment
