-"Stage Rock" in the back-ground.
---Right: view from the per-formance stage. We were thrilled to be taking this tour the morning after The Police performed - they were there for two nights. Reserved seats were $279. Regular first come-first served seats were $75.
---Left: that's -"Ship Rock" on the left, looking up from the stage. This is the rock most featured in the advertisements.
---Right: Our tour took us backstage to see the halls, hung with star posters, and the dressing rooms and dining rooms for the performers. That is a poster of Ani DeFranco, whom, coincidentally, we saw in Telluride earlier in the month at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival.
---The tour guide told us that the posters here in the downstairs hallways as well as the upstairs hall are very important to the performers - they keep track of who's there and are very interested if theirs was put up.
