Cardiff 's Sophia Gardens Collapse 1982
I found this photo of the popular venue Cardiff's Sophia Gardens in Wales.This was a mammoth of a concert venue in its time and many a classic Rock band had played here from the likes of Led Zep AC/DC Rush Black Sabbath and even the man himself Randy Rhoads had played on this stage in 1980.The photo shows the building after it had collapsed under the weight of heavy snow and ice during the bad winter of 1982.This was a total surprise and no one could of predicted this too happen.Luckily no one was inside the building when the roof came tumbling down. But imagine the carnage if this had happened during a packed out gig ???

at lutons football ground the main stand is over 100 years old and made largely of wood
My school is this year also 100 years old, maybe it will collapse too..
But with these 'climate changes' we hardly ever see snow..
Randy was there in 1980 and in 1981, that was one his last ever Euro' shows.
