The sounds of the first-ever
major stadium rock concert
were deafening, the songs
were actually transmitted on
old PA systems and the taller
VOX amps hardly did
the original music and film
any justice
(now all re-digitized in three countries, for 2016)
These favorite boys from
across the pond for several years
(they were still in their 20s!),
couldn’t hear a thing
thanks to the screaming of
thousands of fans; thanks to them,
the mega rock stadium shows started on that night;
they were ACTUAL MUSICIANS
caught between two monsters,
playing mechanically, eyes crazed
as they sweated for a heavy 30 minutes, bowing to the machine
they were responsible for,
but playing as an unit, in perfect
time, giving a great show, despite
of the other nonsenses
set on the road,
they could do no wrong
on that historical night.
