Fantastic! We should connect him with David Fidler!

[YYZ]

Podcast anyone?
LOL

Excellent find! Really enjoyed the guy's enthusiasm. Maybe he'll get the S.O.S. to play the first gig with the completed sytem...

[Blackstrat]

this is worth a look as well - this is where he set up the Pompeii rig in a field in Yorkshire

Yeah, this is super wicked. Love it!

[Frankymole]

Brilliant - sounds incredible!

[MrFender]

Awesome. Dave needs to get over there and play. Hell, we'd even put up with him taking his shirt off as well!

[Blackstrat]

wow, this guy is really on a mission! Fair play, it's a hell of a commitment... https://youtu.be/WSEbV5LTbSw?feature=shared

fun story in the comments:

[Chorale]

That's a good story, and worth adding to the 1973-03-05 Archive page. I wonder how it fits with taper Jared's recollections, though - you would have thought he'd have remembered a massive explosion, and more of his recording might have come out if they'd switched to a minimal PA partway through? Do JEMS have any photos from the show?

[Frankymole]

Ouch! They didn't have much fun with the pyros, did they? There was that time one of the steel base plates overheated in one of those "Roman candle" type bins and exploded too. Two explosions seems a bit careless or unlucky - were they the same event, misremembered?
