I'm not sure I know what you mean. The camera just has rain on it as the weather hasn't been very good in Somerset today.

Erm. What do you mean as sisterofmercy said?

I think that's the PA rig in front of it.

It is the PA rig, all will be clear when the rain stops.

It is just the rain distorting the pictures.  This has been our world in Somerset for ages now.

Is that not the p.a rig, and the bit where the screen goes?

[Jackmypie]

Yeah the weather here is TERRBILE, it's been raining heavily non stop for hours. Hopefully it will get it out of it's system

The fact it rains on Download weekend, means it's sunny at Glasto

Look at the pyramid now! 

[camperman]

No it was not the sound rig it was internal, its was hanging from the top apron full lenght of stage but on the ground its now up out of sight inside whatever it was its massive it was white in colour it could be a full width canvas screen for 1 of the acts, could be the big coldplay show emily was talking about a few weeks ago but its was only hanging lobe sided in veiw for less than 10 mins , ps i live less than 30miles from worthy.

News just in, most of Zummerzet has gone out of focus as a mark of respect at the birth of a new Eavi

talking of sound rigs my neighbour is a sound engineer and he is doing 3 days at glasto this year, hes done sound for some of the bigger bands there, anyway he was telling me why the sound was so bad for the killers in 2008 or whenever it was..something to do with an old skool system used in the big speakers, whilst the sound was poor in front of the pyramid it was actually way louder on the perimiter and the sound engineers were being told turn it down, to which they couldn't believe.

Yeah, someone posted a link to an article on Funktion One (who strenuously denied it was anything to do with the system) and stated it was down to abnormal atmospheric conditions, citing the fact that the same system was being used much louder at other points over the weekend without any problems.

Well so far the weather pattern seems very similar to last years. Last year at Download it was brilliant weather all week and on the Friday and Saturday, but from about 1pm on the Sunday the weather was horrendous and it just constantly rained for the rest of the day.
