It certainly sounds like everything got nicely soaked and/or affected by lightning.
it does appear to be rather exposed

wait for this animation to start to see the lightning!!
No doubt Chuck Thomas and the stage crew spent much time adapting their set to this configuration and probably cursed mightily
when the concert was curtailed.
I note that so far nobody has said a word on the Newsgroup about the cancellation yet already Wayne has posted on:-

(August) "20 -Weather cancellation"
I googled unsuccessfully for the quote that Mr Wallacefound and found nothing anywhere not even on the seven springs site.So I am going to repeat my comment that Wayne Francis obviously visits here as a lurker
I also note that he has prematurely added an "S" (for Setlist) link after the Redding venue yet it opens a blank page at present
As I said earlier Susan will be posting a setlist for Reading shortly.
Maybe I'll get her to make a major typo in the running order to see if it is then reproduced verbatim by Wayne

we are now quite chuffed that we decided to give the 7 springs concert a miss but have great synmpathy with those who travelled a long way in vain.
the backstage access looks like it would to have presented little problem for fans but a megaproblem for Big Barry!!
