* One storm-related stage collapse may be a “fluke,” but we’ve seen three of these in the past month. Back on July 17th, one of those big scaffold rigs above a stage collapsed on Cheap Trick up in Canada. Then there was the horrific rigging collapse in Indiana, which now has a death toll of six. A scaffold collapsed on a Belgium concert stage area this week, killing five.
Every venue needs to make sure their scaffolding is safe and that they can and will get people the heck out of the way of incoming storms. Period. No more of this, please.
* The Tubes are playing at the State Fair tonight. I saw them back in 1981, when I was living in Munich. I had high hopes for that show, but was somewhat disappointed. They’d drastically toned down their act by then. Gone were the X-Rated antics and, more importantly, the Zappaesque music and attitude. Instead, it was obvious they were going for the Top 40, and they made it. But the music just wasn’t as good.
Gimme the old stuff every time…
Seeing you now just leaves me disgusted
