Rick Nodine's Dead Gig leaves me with the sound of sneakers on dancefloor and the image of a man re-capturing something that was once exciting to him but is no longer. The piece began and Rick had a rope tied around his body that had been flipped over the rig, a sneaker dangled from its other end, moving up and down as he moved forward and backward.
