I'm willing to bet it was to thwart the efforts of a certain someone who shall remain nameless who lives in the NYC area and is notorious for video taping whole shows. Hell he even admitted he taped the entire show last time they were at the Beacon on this board. I guess they thought he was going to be there so they placed the extra effort in place to thwart his efforts, though it affected the people who do good. But if that is the case, it's like I said before, this is why you don't publicly announce that you tape shows when you know Al and Bermuda come here frequently and read, and are known for not liking it when fans tape the show.

Look on the bottom of this review:

The guy encountered similar camera problems and asked about it.

Reading through this review, just noticed that he says Elton John did Piano Man and Craigslist is a direct Doors parody. Besides that though had he bothered to do some research he would've had his answers before he even went to the show. Sounds like someone is just looking to complain.

Also sounds like that guy was recording video. And I am not totally sure he was at the same show I was.

Did anyone take a pic of the birthday signs? Sounds like he was very appreciative.

A couple of random people actually had us pose for pictures with the signs (which is why we're looking off to the side in the picture above)...at least one of those people was going to contact Jackie on Facebook with the pix. Let's see if that actually happens...
