Why?  Just because pyrotechnics had been used in the past at The 
Station doesn't mean they were approved by the owners at the Great 
White concert.  Or have the owners claimed they had *never* approved 
pyrotechnics *ever*?

I agree NBC should have mentioned the reports of prior pyrotechnics at 
the club.
