10/5/07 Cabo Wabo (Lake Tahoe CA)

Cabo Wabo is a club in Harrahs Casino on the strip in South Lake Tahoe. We love Lake Tahoe, even better when you have a great gig there. We show up to load in to find out that the club has no sound whatsoever. There was a miscommunication between our booking agent and their manager. For the next 2 hours I was calling bands I knew in Tahoe trying to come up with a PA. I got a hold of Aaron Hagar (sammy hagars son) who strangely happened to be in Fresno doing a show. He kindly volunteered to take our PA from Fresno to Tahoe after his gig. After I arranged a complicated load in spot for him as my battery was dying and he was about to go on stage, I walked inside the casino and the manager told me that they swiped some sound gear from Paul Anka and we could use that for the weekend. Wheewww!!! There is nothing worse than showing up to a show and having the "I thought you had sound" conversation. We sound checked and dipped into our first of three sets. We had a blast. I think the first night I counted 5 bachelorette parties and people were on a mission to puke that night. Wish I had photos, there would have been some gems.
