Sometimes emergencies can bring good things. I got a message from Paris that he was in a bind and needed a place to play. The show was to go out on an Internet radio so this really, really had to happen.
There's only one thing to be said at that point: meet you at the Circus!
In a rescue show, it's not realistic to expect too much. The show was scheduled for somewhere else, notices have gone out to people, it's been promoted, etc. Usually this breaks down into confusion. The show does go on ... but no-one is quite sure where.
That is not what happened on Wednesday.
People started coming ... and coming ... and coming. The show was packed!
It's two days later and still I hear:
I drive
and I drive
'til the End of Time
That's from "Drive" by Paris.
The only problem was that the Internet had tanked for Cat as this is Spring so let's send some lightning to bust up Cat's Internet. There is also Crocus with Spring so it's mixed.
Paris' show is evolving in subtle directions. It's not so subtle to throw an electric guitar into it but the subtlety comes in how he does it. There's an overall 'Paris vibe' to the show and suddenly blazing out on some ridiculously-fast guitar lines would not fit at all ... so he doesn't do it. I would not be at all surprised to discover he can play high-speed but chooses not to do that as it wouldn't be musically-relevant.
This was an incredible show and definitely an excellent one to be sending out to the radio. All the time I was thinking how much Cat would have wanted to be there but the next best thing for her is knowing the MusikCircus was serving her performers and that it did well for them. Oh yes, it definitely did those things.
Paris thanked me but what I did only took a few minutes, what Cat did took seven years. This save was definitely hers. On her behalf, thanks to everyone who came.
