Dopapod performs a fire-shortened "Vol. 3 #86" live at the Gramercy Theatre in New York, NY on Friday, November 21, 2014.

The top-right PA speaker caught fire during the song. You can first see it in the video around 10:05 in the top-right corner of the wide shot.

The band was soon pulled off the stage, the venue evacuated, and the show over.

My story:

I was filming in the pit and had been smelling a burnt plastic smell for about 20 minutes. Then at the very end of the set, the PA was cut while the band was still playing. I couldn't see it from where I was because it was pretty much right above me, but the top of the speaker had caught fire. With curtains above and to the side of it, I was completely freaked out (obviously not thinking at the time that the curtains were flame-retardant). Having watched the video of the fire at The Station in 2003, I was just thinking to myself that I was in the worst possible place to be in and was never getting out. 

I popped memory cards out of my cameras and audio recorder and put them in my pocket. Grabbed two of my cameras and headed for the door. 

The fire ended up being contained, thankfully, and it was nothing too major. But it was an interesting night to say the least.

This all happened at the end of an incredible first set. It was really a top-notch Dopapod performance, and having seen the setlist for the second set, it stings to think of what could have been. Just glad no one was hurt, and happy to be alive today.
