Near Disaster at the Greensboro Coliseum

Posted by ryan on December 19, 2007

I just got home from seeing the Trans-Siberian Orchestra at the Greensboro Coliseum. The show had every special effect that you might expect at your favorite rock concert. Around 55 minutes into the show I saw a small set of sparks fly from what appeared to be the top of the speakers hanging from the set. Several seconds later a larger set of sparks sprayed out over the audience and a huge set of electrical wires flung down towards the crowd sitting below. Luckily the wires got hung up on the speakers and no one was injured. Several songs were played after the incident but eventually the crowd was told that a 10 minute intermission had to be taken in order to make sure everything was safe.

I know this is off topic for the site but I thought it was worth sharing. The incident was handled professionally and the packed coliseum appeared to thoroughly enjoy the rest of the show.
