This one has been gone since 1994.

The current one has been up since 1997.

Except its only about half as big as it used to be.

A big windstorm blew it over; they scaled it down when they rebuilt it.

John "Born Free" Barry (he wrote the song Born Free. Performed at the
beginning of the set, did a medley including born free in the middle of
the set and closed with it - I guess it was his only hit?)

Wow, poor John Barry! The guy wrote the scores for a dozen James Bond
films, among many others, and won Academy Awards for "Born Free," "The
Lion in Winter," "Out of Africa" and "Dances with Wolves," and yet one
day, in the midst of all that success, he finds himself in a Vegas
lounge trying to drown out the noise of the slot machines while sharing
the bill with a puppeteer. Oh, the humanity!
