Bang on a Can

It was in Darmstadt sometime in the 90's. In retrospect I am pretty sure they booked the All-Stars to shake things up, create a stir. That happened. After the first piece half the audience applauded & the other half booed. This went on all night with ever increasing intensity and ever changing allegiances. At one point a guy got up and challenged the whole audience to walk out with him. No one went with him. Seems everyone else was interested in continuing the robust exchange. By the end of the night it was all but a riot. Pretty sure we played an encore. I wouldn't have missed that night for the world. - Mark Stewart
