BOC: remasters...

[Iain Ferguson]

Chris,

I was a young lad back in '76 and used to go fairly frequently to the
FTH with my dad as he played there a lot. Not rock music im afraid much
tamer Traditional folk music and choir events etc.

I used to talk to the stage manager there a lot and he gave me all sorts
of rock gig memorabilia. big ones that stick out are
big red KISS stickers ( about a 100 of them)
ACDC drum sticks
BOC drum stick
plectrums etc

He talked about when BOC played there and wondered if you can confirm
something for me. He talked one of the guys putting on a silver suite or
glove?
which he was able to point up to the ceiling of the building and send
what looked like a bolt of lightening up to a globe and make it look
like it exploded.
Now I can understand that it was probably a Laser that did the work and
the exploding would have been lights.

Can you recall this happening at all, and what is the truth, or was he
just building an elaborate story to an excited young lad ?

I've carried the story for years and never thought to ask anyone, but
you triggered the memory with your e-mail.
