Re: Anyone ever notice fireworks from the audience? |
74-82: I can say with almost absolute certainty that I never heard ANY such fireworks (Winterland, Oak Col, outside venues [GGPk, etc.]). There was a great deal of smoke, and drinking, and other such activities, but nothing of sort you ask about...nor, now that I think of it, did I ever see a gun or a knife (not sure why firecrackers made me think of that, but in case you imagined that was the explanation for the "bam!" you just heard).
West Coast only? How bout the NYorkers? Down and dirty? Fearing for your life? JK, but let me know if the stereo type ever manifested itself...

It was downright scary in the parking lot of Foxboro 4th of July 87. Still I don't recall any fireworks in the show.
Also I think I recall random fireworks going off either in the back of the speedway or out in the parking lot during the 2nd & 3rd of July 88 Oxford Me. shows.

Re: Anyone ever notice fireworks from the audience? |
Funny that you make such a distinction: "West Coast only". It does appear that the more "aggressive" towns have more fireworks. In fact, it is said that Floyd a rare "Careful with that Axe, Eugene" encore in Oakland because the had been "so well-behaved."
Alright, NYorkers: were fireworks common at concerts in the 70's?
