What’s the Worst Ending of a Concert You’ve Ever Experienced?
In the wake of that story of the sudden microphone cut-off near the end of the historic concert where both the Boss and the Sir played together for the first time, I started to think about concerts I've been to that were cut short.
By far the one I remember the most was at Roosevelt Stadium when Emerson, Lake and Palmer played there back in the day (at the height of their fame, the 70's).
A storm kicked up furiously after stalking the area for a bit and hit just after soundcheck.
When a lightening bolt hit the stage, it was all over before it began.
I was pretty much in the nose bleed section, but I can still see Keith Emerson making his way to his gorgeous grand piano (rumoured to have cost $17,000 even back then), now destroyed by a speaker that had smashed into it when the lightening bolt struck.
He was kicking it.
I didn't know whether to laugh or to feel bad for the guy. So I think I did both.
