I've wondered about this one since I first saw this but never asked. It's not the only show, I'm sure, I could bring up but this one really stands out to me. I'm looking at this from a drummer perspective and I can't figure out how Judas Priest were able to pull off the show at the US festival.
Pause it at the 20:23 mark. Clear shot of the drums on the riser, about ten feet tall. No monitors at all. Guitar stacks to the left and the right but pointed away. Who knows if those stacks were even on, they might have been props. Monitors for the rest of the band are too far away and I don't see anything hanging that would be helpful.
There's no inner ears at the time so explain to me how Dave Holland could hear what was going on. I'm stumped but it seems these days I'm easily stumped. I'm sure I'll look like a fool but I just gotta ask.
