Run Like Hell I only have one request, that you don't take these files and post them on other torrent sites. I have many shows to upload. I will upload, let them get seeded by others and after a majority have downloaded the files completely, remove my files so I can seed something new. I prefer to manage my own shows on DIME and The Traders Den. I will upload to other sites when I wish to for select shows. Thanks for honoring my wishes in advance. This is “CBG Classic Master Video Series Vol. 36”. I was lucky to get the chance to film Pink Floyd on the Momentary Lapse of Reason tour. They had gone through the northeast playing every arena for back to back nights (Hartford CT, Providence RI, Philadelphia PA, Madison Square Garden NYC, and East Rutherford NJ but I wasn’t filming yet. All of those shows, multiple nights at each venue, were all before I filmed my first show at New Haven Coliseum, CT (Lynyrd Skynyrd). Then they came back around and played Foxboro Stadium in Massachusetts but I was in Quebec City and Montreal that weekend for the opening nights of the Robert Plant tour with Pierre. I believe I gave my WM-D6C audio deck to my friend to record one night of Pink Floyd in Foxboro for me. And a week or so later they returned to Philadelphia to play Veteran’s Stadium but I was seeing the Atlantic Records 40th Anniversary Party and Led Zeppelin and then Robert Plant in Hartford the next night while Floyd was playing in Philly. I wasn’t at a loss for shows, I just had conflicts. In fact, I went to many shows where I just audio taped at this point and only some did I attempt videotaping. There were a lot of bands on the road in 1988, so I had to pick and choose what I went to even though the tickets were just $20 and $25 each. With all of the cities in the northeast and the multiple venues in each city (an arena, a stadium and an outdoor shed), there were plenty of opportunities to see bands each night everywhere. If you just would drive to it. And I did. So when they announced that the last shows of the Pink Floyd tour would be at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, I had to go. Night 1 is already posted and it rained in that show that I went to by myself. For this show, I bought a block of 4 tickets and took some friends with me. It was perfect weather this night. The front came through, it was dry with no humidity and a slight breeze, just perfect. The seats were 2nd row up off the floor on the side of the stadium about 50 yard line. So there was a 10 foot wall off the field and then row 1 started there. I was the row behind that. I felt out in the open so I just slouched down into the chair a low as I could get and filmed it from that position. This was the closest I ever was for a stadium show. And It went sort of good if I remember. It was good to have friends there to look out and know that the seat I was in was mine and no one was going to come and ask me to get out of their seats and move when the show was happening. I usually sat in seats that weren't mine, and always went to the best seat that I thought would be best for the situation. This time it was way more comfortable with my friends in my seat. So I was able to film Pink Floyd on back to back nights in NJ in what I thought were going to be the last shows of the tour. Well, it was just the last shows of the leg. We didn’t have the internet back then and I had no idea they were playing Europe after that and then they came back to the US in three cities, Cleveland, Detroit, and then Long Island. Nassau Coliseum on Long Island was the arena that the Delicate Sound of Thunder was filmed in over the course of 5 nights. Those were the last shows in the US. I was able to see one of those Nassau shows and sat right up front next to the film crew. It was cool to see them take film reels in and out of canisters and load cameras as they were filming songs and running their operation right next to us in a tunnel right to the left of the stage. Made me feel like I was part of the production. But in Giants Stadium, I was the production and direction. I made my own Delicate Sound of Thunder. While not perfect and a little shaky, it was still mine. It was complete, it was filmed at stage level, and it was Pink Floyd. Not many people would go this close back then. In fact, there weren't many of us filming back then for that matter. But to that point, most people shot shows from the upper level. This night I shot the closest I have ever shot. Everything was brighter at that level streight on under the light rig instead of shooting at a downward angle over the light rig. It was a lower lux camera, the very first 8mm camera that Sony made, and because it only had a 6:1 zoom ratio, I put a 2x magnification lens on the camera to give me a 12:2 zoom ratio. That cut the light some, but I definitely needed the added closness the 2x lens gave me in a football stadium. It was still a stadium and huge, but it was as intimate as I could get. Enjoy my Bright Sight of Light to go with my Delicate Sound of Thunder in Giants Stadium! CBG5150 Posted to Yeeshkul 2016-04-30. |
