Richard Kamerman:
I should have guessed the dude who flashed a photo there was a list member...
well there were a lot of people taking photos but maybe not right then (and i had to scramble to get that one). BTW i swear i only use the flash when the musicians are not playing. i've been surprised by the lack of annoyance zorn has exhibited with the flash photography. he's failing to uphold his reputation, isnt he? :) the only time i saw zorn do anything to alter audience behavior was when he motioned some people who were leaning against the wall up front to move back so they werent so close to the stage.

The headband / hat thing confused me greatly but just a note, it was not multiple headbands but rather 1 headband that slowly made its way around the stage.
i could have sworn that coleman and frith both wore headband at the same time, but i guess not??
Lastly, Ribot and Frith seemed to think themselves just as much the conductors of the piece as Zorn and no one minded. They kept flashing hand signals at Zorn to indicate what they thought were good places to cue the piece into next and he would almost always listen.
i assumed that the players making those requests was part of the game. i thought that baron and coleman did it fairly often too. not honda or susie though... -ed
