@70score8: Pink Floyd (Hamilton, Ontario 1975) 📍 The night 50,000 Pink Floyd fans descended on Hamilton — inside the (literally) explosive 1975 show.The night is perhaps best remembered as a giant model airplane travelling by wire high above the crowd appeared to crash into Ivor Wynne’s scoreboard and explode. In actuality, members of Pink Floyd’s road crew had decided to rig all of the remaining surplus pyrotechnics from the tour to the scoreboard and set them to go off in conjunction with a simulated plane crash. No one was injured, but the explosion was sufficient to destroy the scoreboard and blow out the stadium’s back wall. If Canadian Pink Floyd appreciators have never forgotten the incident, neither has Nick Mason. “I do know that we did a horrible amount of damage to the scoreboard, to our deep shame,” he says. “To the people of Hamilton, I’m very sorry about the scoreboard!” This very special time capsule came by way of Jim “Speedy” Kelly. Shot on 8mm. Divided into two sets, the first hour featured songs soon to be iconic but entirely unknown to most or all of the crowd. The band’s openers “Raving and Drooling” and “You’ve Got to Be Crazy” would not be officially released until 1977’s “Animals” (respectively under the names “Sheep” and “Dogs.”) Introducing its since-legendary 26-minute suite “Shine On You Crazy Diamond,” Waters offered an onstage tribute to Barrett, to whom the piece is dedicated.
