Scouter, first show. A full-page splash of the band mid-song on the stage at The Dom. Jesse hammering the chord, head down, body angled into the riff. Dev behind a real kit, hitting it with the precision of a man who has been simulating this his whole life. The crowd — the 1966 East Village crowd — responding. Heads moving. Hips moving. A girl in the front row mouthing along to a melody she has never heard before. Lou against the pillar, sunglasses off, looking interested for the first time in the issue. The musical-staff motif in the margin: the staff is dense with a notated melody. The melody is fully scored. Real music is being played and the comic is showing you the notes. Allred — Romantic register at max. This is your band-on-stage panel. The reason we hired you.
