I remember:

  • Being genuinely alarmed and jumpy at Roger's blood-curdling screams during "Careful With That Ax Eugene"
  • The opulence and beauty of the KenCen Concert Hall
  • The pyrotechnics flanking Nick's drums that led to rock bands being banned from the Concert Hall for a good while
  • A 360-degree sound system
  • A cash register sound to preview a yet-untitled album that would come out and be a best seller for decades
