Thank you, David, for uploading. I didn´t know there was footage available. Sponsoring the Meyer Sound sound system for this event was an absolute pleasure and an experience I will never forget. At that time, I served as CEO of Meyer’s European office, and it was an honor to see our equipment in action at such a significant event. The live mix was expertly handled by my good friend Lothar Strunk R.I.P. (production manager of Deep Purple, amongst other duties), whose skill and dedication elevated the audio experience to an exceptional level. As the evening progressed, Joe (Porcaro) approached us to express his gratitude. In a moment filled with genuine warmth and appreciation, he affectionately pinched my cheek as if I were a young boy and said, "Thank you, Thomas." This heartfelt gesture from Joe and his words of thanks made the experience even more unforgettable. That moment, brimming with emotion and recognition will always remain etched in my memory.
