Eggbert Posted May 25, 2005 Author Share Posted May 25, 2005 Was it 81 that BD had deep quads with bottom heads? Those were pretty nasty too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimF-LowBari Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 (edited) 1975 Hawthorne Cabs and RI Matadors both had 3 or 4 guys carrying steel drums of various sizes in their show. Cabs guys carried one per player but Mats guys were carting around a pair of drums with nothing more than a crap load of straps. First show of the year is an exhibition at Mount Carmel, PA and my buddy and I are standing at the front sideline. Matadors are performing and are just at the beginning of their concert formation. Then we see the guy carrying the biggest set of steel drums stop and then just go to his knees and keel over forward. The drums hit the ground first and he's stuck at a 45 degree angle hunched over. All we could figure was his back went out as he was talking to the people trying to get him out of the Rube Goldburg contraption he was tied into. Wierd scene - bunch of people on their knees and elbows trying to get this guy (carefully) unharnessed while the whole corps is playing their guts out all around. And it's going on 15-20 feet right in front of us. Edited May 25, 2005 by JimF-xWSMBari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players had to be pretty tall or lean back so the scoops wouldn't drag the ground.
