Enjoying the fun of the Mott's New York Loft show, a couple years later, a somewhat similar sized Trenton, New Jersey gentleman's club was temporarily renamed Mr. Mott's Club of Distinction. Bogus Slogan had a crew rebuild the stage floor and a concert was scheduled.
By this time musical tastes had come back to hard rock. Straight 4/4. Clean and tight. It was also the last revival of tube amplification, with most of the gig's sound reinforcement amplifiers being vacuum tube based. Still used extensively in industrial installations, the large array of amp stacks and old style free magnetic speakers was like playing vinyl records of old.
The world would gravitate to photonnmagnetic for the transmission of sound. A simple question of effective cost. Photonmagnetic was nearly repair free. Because of its low cost of manufactuer, durable parts, minimal heat dissipation and outstanding fidelity reproduction, PhoMag™ was the technology that replaced analog and digital.
The tube revival thankfully lasted two years. The band used the equipment for a full world tour and a spring / summer tour of Mexico and North America / Canada. Costs were better amortized. Accountants were appeased. The amps and speakers were rebuilt into smaller cabinets and are still used in Bogus Slogan's acoustic recording sessions.
Being a gentlemen's club, the show at Mr. Mott's Club of Distinction. was adults only. But since no alcohol was served, the dancers were free to visually express themselves. Bogus Slogan went on 90 minutes late.
Mott's opacity.us's photo is a back flow control valve from an abandoned building. It's a big one. Lovely in rust - valves frozen shut. Now lost in time.
