Rare 1975 Pink Floyd Performance in Canada - Unearthed Footage!
Nowadays it's hard to imagine being Jim 'Speedy' Kelly, the lone man with a camera in a crowd of 52,000 fans at the 1975 Pink Floyd show at Hamilton's Ivor Wynne Stadium.
Speedy's footage gives a glimpse into an almost-forgotten moment in Hamilton history.
More than 50,000 fans made a pilgrimage to the heart of Hamilton to see the psychedelic British band.
"When the gates got torn down, thousands of people poured in there," said Rob Gronfors, who went to the concert when he was around 12 with his older brother.
A prolific concert videographer, Speedy caught bands like Rush, Led Zeppelin and Alice Cooper on Super 8 film.
The Ivor Wynne show was "like the Woodstock of Hamilton," said Jacob Tutt, manager of Playhouse Cinema.
Tutt said footage of Pink Floyd was so rare in the 70s that most fans likely wouldn't have recognized the band members.
"Through the 70s and 80s, there's very little concert footage that's out there to see of Pink Floyd playing," he said.
