Splashtown Waterpark 8/96

Here are some pictures of Whiteheart in August 1996 during the concert-that-wasn't, at Splashtown Waterpark in Spring, Texas. This was the last concert for drummer John Knox. Whiteheart and a band called Human had everything setup, sound checks completed, lights setup, etc., when bad weather blew in. The waterpark had been packed - sold out. The storm hit about an hour before they were to start. Everything had to be covered with plastic (as can be seen in some of the photographs) and protected from the wind and rain. The storm was so bad, that the park had to be closed. The bands didn't get to play. Below are some photographs from that day. If you click on them, you can see larger versions of the same photo.
