Tiger Lillies
Хе-хе, Стаут из Tiger Lillies рассказывает об их концерте в Питере (не вчерашнем):
When we played in St Petersburg last year we had a catalogue of disasters before and during the show. We arrived at what we thought would be a nice professional venue to find a beach bar next to a lake, it then started to rain as the people arrived and many have to be outside because there wasn’t room for everyone under the awning. We had trouble sound checking as the water-skiers were making so much noise. The piano was rubbish and out of tune. Then the generator powering the PA started to fail, and we had to wait until nearly midnight before we could start while it was being repaired. We were told that we could be asked to stop mid-show as it could blow up if it got too hot! As we where finally playing, the audience were jumping up and down so much, and the floor was bouncing like a trampoline, that the PA speakers were in danger of toppling over and crushing people, so they had to be held in place by large Russian technicians as we played. The atmosphere was so moist, what with the rain and the lake that the glue holding my bass together came unstuck and I had to wrap Gaffer tape around it to make it playable. The generator nearly blew up, we had to stop playing while another one was substituted and we didn’t finish until nearly 4 am. Despite all that I really enjoyed the concert.
Особенно мне понравилось про фортепиано и генератор.
