The Beat Tour 2024

Cleveland Show

We’re at the Agora Theater in Cleveland for tonight’s show - the 32nd show of our tour!

Not the same venue as the Agora club that I spent a month at back in ‘79, filming Paul Simon’s One Trick Pony - but I think it’s the same organization running it.

A peek at the busses, parked out back

and, at soundcheck
Here's Tim, a new member of our team

My Funk Fingers have been getting a little loose lately (which makes playing with them challenging, let me tell you!) and today I remembered to tighten the stretch velcro a bit. (Does this mean I’m losing weight on the tour??!!)

And here’s a glipse of my pedal settings for one song - I think I’ll start sharing those, if only to show the mis-spellings

Slightly simpler than this setup next to me on stage

Backstage now - it’s a working break before the show… lots to be signed, and for me today’s a trifecta; posters, books and cd’s.

Ready to go on

and once again I’ve blown the photo of us raising hands in unison… or at least that’s what I think this pic is of

Here we go.

(And, as usual, if you’re looking for yourself in a photo, click on it to go to a larger one, then click again for larger still.)

Excellent night, and still having a lot of fun as we’re half way through our tour.

More tomorrow from Cincinatti.
