Great stuff. I saw James Brown at Kiel Auditorium in his mid-late prime. I'm guessing '71 or '72 but I'm too lazy to look it up. Some of the sweat like in your picture got slung all over me. What a sweaty mother fucker. I think I was like one of 4 whites in the room. Now I did not personally ascertain presence of testicles, but he slammed his crotch into the stage so hard, so many times, he must have been able to endure pain. Eddie Murphy doing the hot tub scene is one of the great SNL episodes.

Does it still count if Porsche has it backwards… meanwhile at NAB Coronado

1) Who in the Hell designed this and what drugs were they on? Did they not have "blueprints" with an upward view? And when was it built?

2) In re: Porsche, when you say they have it "backwards," do you mean that the swastika points are backwards (ie. top point facing left, rather than right and he others appropriately reversed)?

I ask because, originally, the "Swastika" (with the top point to the left) is a prominent religious symbol in the Buddhist faith. You'll see it plastered all over Buddhist temples and shrines in Asia (Japan, China, India etc.). It's supposed to represent "Good Luck." The word "Swastika" itself is Sanskrit. It was the Nazi's that stole it and flipped the image (so the top point is to the right) and with it rotated to the left slightly). Still, I have seen the Nazis used the symbol with the left facing point, so maybe that's what Porsche was doing.
 
The cylinder he’s pushing up has an explosive charge in it. I believe they’re designed to explode if there is to much current. I’ve heard the one in my yard go off and it sounds like a very large rifle. It looks like they had some flammable gas present.
I believe transformers are filled with oil.

He is seating a fuse with a fiberglass pole. Heard them called hot sticks by the local guys that come out to replace those fuses. They seated one a couple times that blew up and sounded like a 12ga.

Sorry.....but no. It's strictly a fuse holder. The top of the fuse has a flange....the tail wraps around a bolt held with a spring for tension. During a fault....it melts and the spring helps pull it apart and the door falls open. They do sound like a rifle shot. Bigger the fuse the louder the bang.
That transformer probably vented during the fault. Arc lit the oil off.......not that I've ever seen that happen😬
