Just before soundcheck, REO guitarist Gary Richrath accidentally ran into a board jutting out from the stage and ended up getting stitches above his right eye. Even though the eye was pretty much swollen shut, he put on a great show that night (guess the pain meds were working well). I was working with the sound company that night and saw him hit the board and keep walking ... then stop and put his hand to his head and say "F#ck I'm bleeding" ... then it was off to the emergency room.
Gary Richrath ... he was always raking his guitar strings with his pick, bore down a little hard with this one ... and played it so hard the tip is almost broken off.
