英國倫敦著名的gig勝地 Hammersmith Palais 於四月一日舉行最後一場表演後宣告結束營業 之後這個地點將會改建成辦公大樓和餐廳 Hammersmith Palais的歷史可以追溯到1919年 剛開始就只是一般舞廳而已 當時叫做Hammersmith palais de Danse 到了60年代開始有些樂團表演活動進駐 70年代末 Punk活動正如火如荼的展開 The Clash 的經典曲 (White Man) In Hammersmith Palais 將這個場地名聲發揚光大 之後很多大團也有在這表演過 如U2,The Cure,Rolling Stone等等 到了2001年 開始定期舉辦惡名昭彰的School Disco (就有點像學生制服派對) 告別表演 分別是3/31的 THE GOOD THE BAD AND THE QUEEN 和4/1 的THE FALL Damon 在表演時 對著台下觀眾說“Fantastic place this - such a shame ther're pulling it down" 表演結束後 Paul 用斧頭劈下舞台的一小部份當作紀念並說 “I reckon I've done enough to deserve a piece of this place, for sure." (這.....隔天不是還有表演嗎？ 拆這麼快) 最後用(White Man) In Hammersmith Palais 來作結尾跟紀念吧 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DoPvITLtBng Midnight to six man For the first time from Jamaica Dillinger and Leroy Smart Delroy Wilson, your cool operator Ken Boothe for UK pop reggae With backing bands sound systems And if they've got anything to say There's many black ears here to listen But it was Four Tops all night with encores from stage right Charging from the bass knives to the treble But onstage they ain't got no roots rock rebel Onstage they ain't got no...roots rock rebel Dress back jump back this is a bluebeat attack 'Cos it won't get you anywhere Fooling with your guns The British Army is waiting out there An' it weighs fifteen hundred tons White youth, black youth Better find another solution Why not phone up Robin Hood And ask him for some wealth distribution Punk rockers in the UK They won't notice anyway They're all too busy fighting For a good place under the lighting The new groups are not concerned With what there is to be learned They got Burton suits, ha you think it's funny Turning rebellion into money All over people changing their votes Along with their overcoats If Adolf Hitler flew in today They'd send a limousine anyway I'm the all night drug-prowling wolf Who looks so sick in the sun I'm the white man in the Palais Just lookin' for fun I'm only Looking for fun -- 最後附上有點簡陋的Hammersmith Palais的官網 http://www.barclub.com/hammersmithpalais/index.html 和我自己應該還不算太簡陋的BLOG http://aacidhouse.blogspot.com/2007/04/hammersmith-palais-close.html --
