The highest gig ever

Post by SRvdL »

Would anyone know if Spiritualized officially hold this record, and if they'll lose it to Coldplay when they are going to play their highest gig ever?

Was the Spz gig up th eCN Tower in Toronto? If so, that's *only* 350m or so high...(and the tallest building in Canada).

So I'd say anyone that's ever played a gig in Geneva, or Mexico City has played higher than that...never mind Kathmandu.

Everyone likes a smartarse...that's right, isn't it?

Even so, that should be really easy to beat though, if you were inclined: the CN tower is quite tall (likesay, tallest structure in Canada), but the restaurant room is only about 2/3rds the way up it.

anybody that's ever played in Denver has played higher than that Coldplay gig, assuming the article is correct about he elevation.
