[QUOTE="Mark Herman, post: 18990, member: 72"] Re: showconsole - too good to be true? Well, more like disappointed that no one at Ultra Sound copped to it that the disaster even happened until much later. ( It was sort of an UltraGambleCokeGate coverup until someone let it slip to me about a month later:)) The fact is that no one turned off the console or did anything for hours. Ouch! Think of a $60,000 console (value back then) humming ( didn't use to hum) away with a very large puddle of Coke on the surface leaking through to the horizontal motherboards directly lying underneath. I'm sure Don Pearson nearly freaked out when he saw it! I can't blame Harry - he didn't spill it and it was common for the Dead to noodle around and take breaks as often as they wanted during rehearsals. Not sure who put a big drink on the top of the console's nice wooden top (that was the cool style then for nice consoles) because that is just wrong. Not long after that I became a big advocate of console tops with a tilted angle to discourage the drink ledge temptation. [/QUOTE]
