*** stopping make sense ***
And i've
seen punk rock bands play in a room where the power is so
bad that the guitarist's digital effects gadgets keep shutting down
due to insufficient voltage.
In other words, it really depends on the "venue". :)
Forgot to mention - I have also *performed* in a venue
where the power (ALL of it) cut out twice during our show.
I guess they were pushing the circuit breakers a bit hard.
Would have really sucked if I'd had to reboot.
Fortunately I was playing bass. :)
Audience was maybe 200, pretty big gig by my standards.
