Not Marshall.
That explosion went off about a second & a half after Pete moved to the right.
He might have been badly burned if it had gone off just barely sooner.
We used pyro. We knew to be super careful. We controlled them from onstage so if someone was too close, the guy with his foot on the switch would abort.
It looks cool, but nobody should get hurt for cool.
