Amaya Toman Ekuqaleni kukaSepthemba 1982, Us Festival senzeka eCalifornia libalele - umgubho oyingqayizivele nongavamile womculo nobuchwepheshe. Phakathi kokunye, umsunguli we-Apple uSteve Wozniak naye wenza kulo mkhosi, ngaleso sikhathi owayethatha ikhefu lezokwelapha ngemva kokuphahlazeka kwendiza ngo-1981. ukusebenza komculo okumangalisayo.
Ukuphahlazeka kwendiza okukhulunywe ngakho ngenhla kubonakala kuyingqophamlando e-Wozniak. Esikhundleni sokuzama ukubuyela emsebenzini wakhe we-Apple ngokushesha ngangokunokwenzeka, u-Woz wanquma ukuphishekela uchungechunge lwemisebenzi ephikisana ne-diametrically. Ngaphansi kwegama mbumbulu elithi "Rocky Racoon Clarke", waze waya nezifundo zobunjiniyela eNyuvesi yaseCalifornia, eBerkeley.
Uma ingcebo yakho siqu ifana nekaSteve Wozniak ngaleso sikhathi - i-$ 116 million ehloniphekile, ungakwazi kalula ukukhokhela inguqulo yakho ye-Woodstock. Izinhlamvu ezithi "Us" egameni lomkhosi azihlangene ne-United States. Kwakufanele ichaze ukuhlangana nokuvumelana, okwakufanele kube omunye wemibono eyinhloko yawo wonke umcimbi. Isiqubulo salo mkhosi, leli gama elibuye libhekiselwe kuwo, sithi “Sihlanganiseni Ngengoma”. "Thina" kwakuhloswe futhi ukuphawula ukuqala kwenkathi entsha kanye nokuphela kweshumi leminyaka elithi "Mina" lamashumi ayisikhombisa. Inguquko esuka ku-"Mina" iye ku-"Thina" yayinenye incazelo ebalulekile ku-Wozniak - ngobusuku bangaphambi kokuvulwa komkhosi, ingane yazalwa nomsunguli we-Apple.
U-Wozniak umeme umgqugquzeli we-rock star odumile u-Bill Graham ukusiza ukuhlela umkhosi, okwathiwa ngaye, i-audiotrium e-San Francisco, lapho ingqungquthela ye-Apple engaphezu kweyodwa, yaqanjwa khona. U-Graham akazange angabaze ukuthola amagama adumile omkhosi ka-Wozniak, afana ne-Grateful Dead, The Ramones, The Kinks noma i-Fleetwood Mac.
Kungaba njalo okuthakaselayo
Kodwa abaculi abazange bangabaze ukukhuluma mayelana nezindleko ezitholakalayo ngempela. UCarlos Harvey, owayephethe ukuhlola lo mkhosi, kamuva wakhumbula izizumbulu zemali ezazindiza emoyeni ngokoqobo: “Kwakuyimali eningi kakhulu kunanoma ubani owake wakhokha la maqembu,” esho. Uma kuziwa ekukhethweni kwabaculi, u-Graham wazama ukugcina u-Wozniak ebheka. Kodwa sakwazi ukuphusha umculi wezwe othuthukayo uJerry Jeff Walker.
Ukuze wenze uMkhosi Wethu usondele kakhulu ku-Woodstock yodumo, u-Wozniak unqume ukuthi esikhundleni senkundla, uzoqhutshelwa e-Glen Helen Regional Park e-Devore, e-California.
I-Us Festival yezinsuku ezintathu bekufanele ibe “umgubho womculo wesimanje nobuchwepheshe”. URobert Moog wethule amakhono e-synthesizer yakhe edumile kuyo, futhi izethameli zaphathwa ngombukiso wokukhanya we-multimedia. Ibhaluni elikhulu lomoya oshisayo elinophawu lwe-Apple lantanta ngaphezu kwesiteji esikhulu, kodwa uSteve Jobs akazange awuhambele umcimbi.
USteve Wozniak uchaze umkhosi wakhe njengempumelelo enkulu, naphezu kweqiniso lokuthi wacwilisa isamba semali kuwo ngokungenakulungiseka. Inqwaba yezethameli ezingakhokhi zihambele lo mgubho - abanye bebesebenzisa amathikithi omgunyathi, abanye bavele bagibela phezu komgoqo. Kodwa lokho akuzange kumvimbe u-Woz ekuhleleni unyaka wesibili ngonyaka olandelayo - waqopha ukulahlekelwa kwezigidi ezingu-13 zamaRandi futhi ekugcineni u-Wozniak wanquma ukuyeka ukuhlela imikhosi.
