RIP Terry Hall (The Specials, etc.)

[thatguy]

I saw the Specials at the Mountain Winery a few years ago. They came on with Ghost Town. It builds for a bit before the vocals start. Terry came out on queue and no one could hear him. His mic was cutting out. The sound guys finally got him another mic mid-song, and that one was cutting out too. He threw it on the ground and walked off the stage. 

It was a HUGE failure on the part of the sound persons. When they finally fixed the mic, he came back out and finished the show, but it really made the band look bad and sucked all the energy out of the set.
