Going into their biggest summer ever, in 1996, Noel Gallagher witnessed a roadie die hours before the band were to play their biggest show yet, to 40,000+ people at Loch Lomond. Only weeks earlier, they learned of the death of Rob Collins, keyboardist in the Charlatans, who were meant to support them that summer. The Charlatans pulled out of Loch Lomond, though through incredible shows of strength from the music community around the band including support and encouragement from Oasis (particularly Liam apparently), the band would make it to Knebworth, with Primal Scream bassist Martin Duffy stepping in temporarily.
Loch Lomond started off under a cloud. The Charlatans had to pull out because of Rob Collins' death. Then a roadie died on the site. Were you worried that these gigs might be your Altamont?
“I'd seen the geezer get killed that day, which put a big downer on it for me, obviously. I turned up early and I was just jamming away onstage. There was this articulated lorry no further away than from here to where that fence is - 50, 60 foot away. This geezer was doing something at the back of the lorry, and then this forklift truck was reversing towards him. And I thought, That bloke better get out the way…' And it just went [smacks hands together]. He just fell over. I thought, he'll get up in a minute, then the ambulance came and they put a cover over him.
“The gig wasn't that important after that. Before the gig. I got interviewed by the police for about four hours. I'm supposed to be going onstage to play to 40,000 people, and the bloke's going. 'Well, was the driver looking?' Not the best way to prepare, but you know, shit happens. [long pause] But Altamont, that's a bit over the fucking top. It's not as if it was done by Hell's Angels, or we were all wearing spandex trousers and fucking capes or anything…”
