Re: GREAT BOOTLEGS!!!

The story I heard was that Rick's keyboard was completely soaked by "Great Gig", so he only got through a couple of intro bars before it gave an electric shock that jumped him back a few feet. David pressed on to "Money", switching guitars every few minutes to keep the strings somewhat dry, but to no avail. They skipped ahead to "Run Like Hell" (chanting "RAIN, RAIN, RAIN, RAIN!") and got to the end of the first verse before Steve O'Rourke demanded that all onstage instrument power be switched off to avoid further electrocution! About 10 minutes later, power to the whole stadium went out anyway and people shuffled home by the light of emergency bulbs.
