During Testament’s August 8 show at the Ace Of Spades Club in Bogota, Colombia, the band were forced to stop their performance due to a power outage. After a lengthy wait, a generator finally arrived, allowing the band to continue.
Guitarist Alex Skolnick commented:
“Bogotá! 🇨🇴 Not only a great crowd but very patient…Listen to this:
Midway into first song (PWYP), just past the gtr solo, about to launch into last verse..WHAM!! No sound, no lights. CITY WIDE POWER OUTAGE!!
Our next hour and a half or so was spent backstage, illuminated by cell flashlights, sitting around (I played mini-acoustic to stay warmed up). Most of the crowd mingled on the street outside.
Eventually, a truck with high-capacity generator arrived, connected to the building’s circuits and was able to provide enough energy to power up the amps and PA and a few basic lights. Normally by this time, we’d be heading back to the hotel, but as Queen said: “The show must go on”
We returned with a slightly shortened set and thunderous energy from the crowd which made everyone forget the late hour. This was just afterwards. Gracias, amigos y amigas 🙏🏼🙌
Next up: Lima, 🇵🇪”
