Hammersmith Palais Closed
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

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
