Chick Corea was playing with an all-star band. I chose the second show for Saturday night thinking the traveling would be easier given the start time of 10:30pm.
Well, the actual start time
was much closer to 11:30. Buying a solo
ticket and with the Catalina Bar and Grill being only a table seating venue
(determined from online pics) I wondered where I would be seated. Turns out there were solo tables next to
stage left.
I ordered a drink and walked
around the venue. Herbie Hancock was at
the bar and we had small talk.

The band took the stage. Chick was playing at stage right so I had an
obstructed view of him. However, Dave Weckl
gave a drum clinic about 5 feet away from me.
That man can play the drums.
