Flushing Meadow Park Concert, NYS Pavilion
Hi,
I was at the concert also and thanks to the above comment I am now sadly aware of what I had missed. I truly believed that the band did not go on at all. I was fortunate to get inside at a decently early time to get a prime viewing spot up close, but sitting on the cold hard floor for so long was quite uncomfortable, but still, what a thrill. For my favorite band a worthwhile sacrifice. It just became too scary to watch people so high up hanging/dangling from above and coming dangerously close to falling....on top of a very large crowd of people. It would have been known as the very first "mosh" pit (as in "mish mosh"?) in history.
So very sorry I did not get to hear this band play at this special park on this wonderful starry late summer night. It was an open air Bowl theatre. Huge colored Stained Glass overhead panels had long since been removed for safety reasons. The hard Mosaic Tile Floor was a huge work of Art in itself. A painstakenly detailed Map of New York State long since had erroded piece by piece from years of freezing cold winter ice melting and thawing. At a pretty late hour I suddenly realized I had no clue as to how I was getting home and did not live nearby. I left the park with a few other stragglers. The crowd yelling and cheering behind me in the distance, and at some point 3 or 4 am in the morning. Hi mom, Q: where have you been? A: No place. Q: what did you do? A: Nothing...
night, night.
