On July 11, Korn performed an 80-minute concert inside a crop circle near Bakersfield, California during a special North American broadcast on HDNet. The band is now streaming the performance on their myspace. The event was inspired by Pink Floyd's classic 'Live At Pompeii' gig, according to frontman Jonathan Davis.
Jonathan Davis had this to say about the event: "The setting and the mood took us into a totally new direction musically. We took the opportunity to stretch out and experiment with the performance. I don't think we'll ever be the same." He added: "We're huge fans of Pink Floyd's Live At Pompeii and we always wanted to do something like that our whole career, and that's exactly what we did. It's really dark and eerie and kind of like Apocalypse Now. We had a big helicopter buzzing us, filming while we were playing, and it was definitely a one-of-a-kind Korn show. It was very special, and we'll get the footage and re-edit it and hopefully put that out."
The crop circle was created by a U.K. company called CircleMakers. The event is also scheduled for a DVD release.
