How true my friend, how true.
I remember back in the early 80's stationed in Berlin they came to see us and play for us. Big, big park smack dab in the middle of the city (well, not really, but it's fun to say that, actually it's off to the left a bit) and in that park there was a big lake called Wannsee.
Out on the lake they built on floating barrels or what have you this huge stage from where the show would commence.
Audience seating was anywhere and everywhere around the lake on blankets on benches on chairs brought from home or just simply on your butt, juts not to close to the edge of the water where they had set up reflectors pointing everywhere, left right up down, just crazy.
When the show had finally begun the lake was shrouded in fog (manmade), it was late evening and the sun had just set.
Our coolers full of delectable drinks and had eated our fill of brownies about an hour earlier.
Silence, .... not one sound when there out on the lake it came alive with wind and light. Laser beams shot out at us only to be caught at the last moment by the reflectors to be shot up down left right and back again .
One giant web of light and color filling the entire night sky.
Then,..... The Wall
I still get goosebumps thinking about that concert.
Hey, thanks for the jog down memory lane. 8)
