      out
      and
      there’ll
     
     
      be
      no
      sound.
      So
     
     
      yeah,
      it
      was
      very
     
     
      bizarre
      —
      an
      hour
     
     
      before
      the
      show
      we
     
     
      did
      the
      soundcheck
     
     
      and
      everything
      was
     
     
      fine,
      and
      during
      the
     
     
      show
      it
      was
      like
     
     
      “okay,
      here
      we
      are,
     
     
      we're
      playing
      and
     
     
      there’s
      no
      sound.”
     
     
      I’m
      not
      sure
      if
      it
      was
     
     
      a
      cab
      or
      security
      that
     
     
      was
      in

      building,
      but
      some-
     
     
      body
      was
      on
      the
     
     
      same
