Earl's Court 12. října 1994

[bery]

Floydi se na vyčeprávajicím turné po světe s deskou Division Bell vrátili domů do Anglie, kde je čekala série koncertů v londýnské Earl's Court (asi takový lepší kulturák), kde tedy rozložili své nádobíčko, nazvučili, zaostřili lasery naskládali židličky....a pak když začli hrát Shine On You Crazy Diamond prdla sestavená tribuna se židlema pro 1200 lidí. Někteří lidé prý spadli až z 6-ti metrové výšky (oni metry neumí takže říkají 20 stop). Naštěstí nebyly žádné vážné zranění, 8 lidí bylo převezeno do nemocnice. Koncert byl přeložen na 17. října a všichni fanoušci v postižené oblasti dostali tričko.

Na této stránce jsem našel pěkné povídání jednoho účastníka nevydařeného koncertu: http://www.allfloyd.com/concerts/Europe ... _1994.html

Date: Wed 941012
Venue: United Kingdom - London - Earls Court
Audience: 15,500 (soldout)
Gross: ?
Set 1: SOYCD *
Set 2: ?
Encore: ?
Length: S1: 0:01 !
Sound FX: 7.35 (lawn mowers, birds, frogs, water, aircraft, ...)
7 minutes before showtime (put back from 7.45 to 8.00), I heard
the 'plink' from Echoes. The 2 minutes later I heard a railway
announcerts voice over the quad sound saying something to do with
5 minutes. I was getting frantic...
Venue: Indoor
Weather: -
Misc: On top of the Earls Court entrance the two metal heads were mounted.
All looked well when we arrived. The stage was amazing, the quad
tape played, everybody went "oooh" when the light aircraft seemed
to take off down the arena.
The lights went off. The opening drone to "Shine On" began.
Mr. Screen began to rise as projections swirled over the stage. I
sat back and prepared to enjoy the show, cursing under my breath
the whooper two seats down.
Out of the corner of my eye I saw movement at the back of the
arena. I assumed it was just the lighting, or a bunch of late
arrivals. Suddenly the house lights snapped back on. Rick Wright
looked puzzled and a little angry, as slowly the intro petered to a
halt.
Looking down the arena it was clear what the movement had been; one
of the scaffolding stands at the back of the hall, beside the
projection platform, had collapsed completely. Confusion. A voice
announced: "We have a slight problem at the back, but we'll sort it
out and start as soon as possible."
Not a hope. A second announcement explained that the stand had
collapsed, with no major injuries. Another 5 minutes. Then Harvey
Goldsmith appeared on stage to explain that they had decided to
postphone the show in order to check the rest of the stands, and
began to evacuate the arena. Later a replacement date, Monday the
17th was announced.
On the radio: 30-40 people injured. Collapsed stands were block
8 and 9. Those blocks held over 1100 ! Only 8 people had to stay
in the hospital overnight.
According to Charles, those in that area, showing up on 941017,
got a bag with tour book, some more stuff and a T-shirt with
Pink Floyd Earls Court Blocks 8 and 9" on it... see 941017
The show would likely have included DSotM, because they started
with SOYCD, and the wire was in place...

a tohleto jsem vyštrachal na NPF:


aneb omluvenka podepsána pány wrightem, gilmourem a masonem osobně!

jaká je nejlepší muzika na zpracovávání fotek z výstavy o pink floydech? no jasně že pink floyd !
tak jsem si dal k tomu pěkně zostra celou pulse, no a tak mě napadlo si něco dohledat k onomu incidentu z 12.10.94 - no a jako první na mě vyblafnul dobový článek z the independent: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/pi ... 42784.html
dodneška nevím, co kolaps tribuny způsobilo. ale ono je to teď asi úplně jedno, když to všichni - byť s nějakými šrámy - přežili a celá earl´s court je už srovnaná se zemí...
