Jonny Lang Live at Jones Beach Ampitheatre 1999-08-25 and on Live with Regis and Kathy Lee 1999-08-26

What really surprised me, is that on a night when Jeff Beck was the main headliner and Jonny Lang was the opener, just how many people stayed only to hear Jonny. You would think the crowd would have come just to see Jeff Beck, but it simply wasn't the case. Almost a third of the crowd left before Jeff Beck even hit the stage. Tells you something, doesn't it?

Jones Beach is notorious for being bad to audience tapers. The bandshell is technically out over the water. They filled in the area between the front of the stage and the edge of the shore, in order to pack even more people in for their ridiculous prices, and the wind just comes whistling in. No matter how you try to shield your microphone, some noise always creeps in.

On this night we were lucky. The weather was cloudy and changing, and the wind was at a total lull when this great set was taped. The wind started howling just as we got in the car after the Jeff Beck set.

A question for you all: Is Kathy Lee insufferable, or insufferably right? Or is she being righteous, or simply correct? I don't know, I find her here to be totally annoying. She made Jonny Lang do a complete double take. At least the young man had some experience in dealing with people in a public forum, and handled her graciously. I think I would have thrown my guitar at her...
