Shows at BAM are very often excellent. There have been a few rotten apple/tomatoes over the years, and that's more than acceptable. But this?! This?! It was not a show, it was an evangelizing service for which one should never ever to pay, nor be fooled into attending as being a presentation of music, ecstatic or not. It was not ecstatic, - lousy would be a better epithet.
