Bobby "Blue" Bland -"Ain't No Sunshine" 1-3-97 Lyric Opera House, Baltimore,MD

This was another sold-out show I managed to get into.This time I played a paramedic. I was standing out front of the Lyric wondering how I was going to get in, when an ambulance pulled up. The paramedics got out and started grabbing their gear. I noticed that I was wearing a blue sweat shirt similar to theirs, so I decided to try and blend in with them as they entered. Worked like a charm. The show had just started, so it was quit dark inside and I couldn't find a seat. It was sold-out as well, so there were no seats. I figured that my best chance of finding a seat was up on the balcony. Well I found a set and set up my camera. Soon after that, the people showed up,and I had to move. I then went all the way back behind the last row where I found a folding chair that one of the ushers had set up. Thankfully the usher never came back and I was able to stay there and tape the rest of show. It was quit an adventure, and a great concert. BB King was also on the bill
