A drop in the overhead lighting standard canceled the second night of a three-day summer kick-off concert event at Konocti Harbor Resort on Saturday night.

A worker scrambles up the lighting standard to try and dtermine what caused it to drop during the opening moments of a Saturday night concert.

“They just started jamming and it just started to fall down,” said concert-goer Norma Hodges. “It was going to be a good [concert].”

Witnesses said a lighting unit dropped suddenly from the outdoor stage’s roofing several seconds into the performance by .38 Special, the first act, first song.

“Bam! The left side of the roof collapsed six or seven feet,” said Mike Whitton who attended the concert with his wife. “They immediately began to evacuate everyone.”

Groups Reo Speedwagon and Styx were also to perform but never took the stage, witnesses said.

Greg Bennett, Konocti president and general manager of Konocti, said the show was canceled because of a roofing issue.

Nothing fell to the ground, he said, and the show is being rescheduled.

Whitton said the roof was still precariously hanging as crew members attempted to replace a defective electric motor. But that could not be confirmed.

Bennett said refunds will be available Tuesday for those who purchased their tickets. Those who had complimentary tickets for the show could receive complimentary tickets when the show is rescheduled, he said.

A Sunday night performance of The Lost Boys at Konocti was previously scheduled as an indoor concert and was expected to go on as planned, Bennett said.
