It looks so small, can't believe that you could get 7 guys plus their instruments in there!

that investment of £300k in 77 would be anywhere between £1.5M to £3.5M in today's money...

By the sounds of it, the purchase price was swamped by the cost of labour & transport (setting up/dismantling and moving the thing) - but even if it had been placed on a back lot somewhere (and left under a tarp) it would be a worthless crumbled ruin today.

Excellent find, Horacewimp ! 5 million, 25 thousands watts of lights (might be a little off - who cares)! 16 hours to build, 54 people to build, 5 tons! 12 semis? I know I've read all this before. Still crazy this.
