I Saw Bob Weir and Rat Dog last Saturday night at the Rock Yard in Indio, CA, and took my laser wand to see what kind of affect it would have on a concert crowd.

Bobby and crew played cohesively and the songs were tight, with the same light and energy that has carried the entire family for the last 40 something years… Fans were obviously very hungry, for before the second bar of Jam was played, there was dancing that didn’t stop until after the show when the house lights came up for the last time after an excellent encore of Touch of Grey.

I whipped out my Laser Wand and added an additional dimension to the vibe by creating a psychedelically-charged dance area. I held it (like you would hold a pencil) at shoulder height and swirled it around as if I was stirring a cup of coffee. As the energy in the room intensified, the crowd, music and lights began to interact in such a way that contained an almost eerie synergysm. Twirling dancers entered the veil of light to be bathed in dots and lines that swirled into random shapes and the infinity symbol. More folks gathered round to take part in the dancing and sparkles of joy began to flow among the circle while Bobby and the Band took us to new heights with The Wheel.

It was such a unique experience, and one that was completely unexpected, I had no less than 100 people come up to me saying “I have got to have one of those!”.
