edinburgh castle gig

If the weather there has been anything like it has on this side of the country, I imagine everything will have had a good soaking. Plus it is quite an exposed location so rain may well have been driven into places that it wasn't expected to reach.

I made a point of going on iPlayer for a look at the gig, purely because this thread sparked my interest. I thought some of the material on the side columns was quite creatively done - would have been interesting to see the full set in operation.

 

So did the "crossbar" get a soaking and need to come down for mending?

The top section was hung above the roof of the covered stage in a rather inaccessible place that required climbing to reach. From the first downpour to the subsequent drenching fogs the guys were up fixing it every day. The screen panels weren't really designed to withstand Scottish weather. For the Tom Jones gig the day after, they reconfigured the panels as an indoor screen and once they had found enough working panels it was rock solid.
