THE crowd stood shell-shocked, minutes after 4:00 am when MC Richie B made the announcement that the show had exceeded its two-hour grace limit and was being locked down by the police.
Even after Richie B exited the stage, everyone still waited expectantly even making comments such as: "A joke dis, right", "Nuh worry, him a go wappy back and introduce Vybz Kartel", "No man, a one trick".
No one moved, still looking, waiting to see what was going to come next. The only indication they got that it was no joke was the stage being cleared. Then the anger came. "Mi want back mi money!" one woman exclaimed.
But for the most part the anger was directed at the powers that be who brought a premature halt to the event "A big diss, star. Di man a do something fi give back to him community and dem shut it off. A hope no more event no keep till the sun come up!" uttered from many lips.
Bolt made an attempt to apologise. "People mi caan really do nutting, the police a gwaan a way - just understand."
Even Vybz Kartel came on stage and uttered two lines... just to let his fans know he was in the venue.
Advertised as a Super Party, there was nothing really super about it. The event got off to an 11:15 pm start, 1 hour 17 minutes from the touted 9:58 pm start.
