I'll start with this link,which I thought was the Ivor Wynne link. I know I posted it on the (Save Ivor Wynne)[http://www.saveivorwynnestadium.com/blog] site but I'll have to have a look for it. You'll like the link above though in the meantime.

Found it. I think someone with some connections (and we have some very connected music folk living in, around, or from Hamilton), should talk to Rogers Waters about cutting this concert onto vinyl. Include some article clippings form The Spec, talk to locals who attended, the history behind the blown up scoreboard and music being banned from Beamont (er Ivor Wynne), until the Rush show in '79 which ended up being the last concert ever - likely because our city was still devastated by the Floyd visit. :) I think there are many merits to making a project out of these recordings. The guy screaming 'sit down' is priceless, although if possibly, some if not much of it, should be dubbed out. Maybe not. Only problem is that after you listen to it once, every time you listen to it and hear someone screaming, you think they are saying 'sit down' - maybe they are.

Floyd live in '75 at the Legendary Ivor Wynn-ded Stadium. Invite him for a visit when he's in TO next year on his stadium tour. Unfortunate that we couldn't invite him back to close the place down. At least he can see it before it crumbles and use that as inspiration to promote the Live album.
