[QUOTE="Matt Lillie, post: 56611, member: 84"] Re: Anybody ever miked up a cannon ? A local band had every driver in their PA taken out at a biker event many years ago. I know this because I did the event in the years following and was warned before they blasted off the cannon. I was told they were "not going to pay for another PA system, so you better do whatever you have to, we'll let you know when we're shooting the cannon". I never asked how the rest of the show was the year prior... Swerve: This just reminded me about the pile of rocks with a cross on top, just off the stage downstage right. One of the bands asked a biker what it was, the reply: "That's the last band we had that didn't play 'Born To Be Wild'". Band guy turns around to band, says, "Guys, hit it!" and the guitar player seamlessly starts "Born To Be Wild". I think they played it four or five times that night! There was also no official "end time" for this event, the last band played until someone with a lot of patches on his jacket came out of the clubhouse and yelled something like, "Time for you fuckers shut the fuck up". It was usually about daybreak, I'm guessing probably about the same time the white powdery substance was gone. And then there were the "used" vegetables and girls undergarments strewn about the stage from the so-called "Wet T-Shirt" contests that always turned into quite an exhibition. Did I mention the burnout pits? [/QUOTE]
