Just added this, its the moment Danny's knee "pops out", featuring Devin Townsend on guitar and the loudest vocals, and Willie on keyboards.

Great, cheers! As said on the SG5 thread, everyone seems to be great with sharing stuff on here. .

[WiredOut]

More please!

What a lovely day it was.

I've heard about this show so often that I feel almost nostalgic watching that footage, despite never having been there, nor seen it before.

In fact, I didn't know they existed in 1994.

[markE]

how the fuck did Danny manage to not only leep playing but also headbang and bang his uninjured leg in tempo?

and i still can't make up my mind whether the rest of the band were consumate professionals or cold hearted unfeeling bastards when they carried on playing

[pete]

This stuff is gold! Thanks for the memories.



...I wasn't there or anything, but now I FEEL like I was.

On Caffeine Bomb:

Notice that you can just make out Danny taking his first tumble away in the distance as the camera zooms in at about the 36 second mark.

Ouch!

Incidentally, I think it's kind of poignant seeing them in the first flushes of success, playing in front of such a big crowd on a beautiful day. It must have seemed that they were going to eat the world for a while there. Blub!

From the man himself:

Reading '94 was the single worst experience I've ever had playing to a large crowd. Apart from the fact that Danny bust his leg, we had a new guitar player that we hadn't had time to rehearse properly. We'd also been in a tent for the entire weekend, taken some terrible acid, and I'd tried to come down for the show by taking a dodgy E. The crowd were fantastic, though. If I ever get the chance to play to that many people again it will definitely be a little more 'grand'.

Ah, well. They were always doomed.

Watching this REALLY makes me hope they get on the mainstage at Download this year! They might only get 20-40 minutes, but they're a band that would own the main stage!

Who's the cunt on the (largely inaudible) keyboards?

Did I remember to say cunt?

Cunt I meant to.
