Sad thing was that Bob McCarthy also provided the same flash devices to Gene Simmons of kiss.He shot one off and they overloaded it with flash paper and shot 30 feet in to the audience and popped someone in the eye. Lawsuit for that one. Keith was correct about how pyro effects were not really monitored. Back in the 80's I was working for a lighting company and in order to operate a laser light device in NY State I needed a pyrotechnicians license. Didn't need them in NJ CT PA or MA. I knew Bob. I was friends with his daughter Karen. She passed way to soon. I watched all 4 parts and still wondering why the audio sucked.
@@scottburns2600 That horrific. There was not a single certified Pyrotechnic person to run it. From what I heard they wanted it bigger in a small venue like that. It gave small clubs a really bad rap. In 1981 the NYC fire department got wind that Bonds in NYC had double sold tickets for the Clash. Legal limit was 1750 people. 3500 tickets were sold for all 7 shows. A deal was made and 7 shows went to 14 shows in under 2 weeks. What a pain but I was getting paid to be there. LOL
Saddest thing in the world to see talented people standing around in front of amazing instruments, not playing them.
yes, and talking slower than molasses.

Cool insight. Plus I'm sure the Great White club fire really put some oversight in pyrotechnics
