The album Stadium by the Catalan artist Antoni Muntadas was released in 1989, parallel to his
exhibition of the same name at the Walter Phillips Gallery in Canada. In it, Muntadas addresses the stadium as a place of history and contemporary event culture and, in an installation, illuminates the social functions of the building and the emotions of its visitors. The record contains five interpretations of the exhibition theme by five different musicians.

The piece heard here, Stadium - Charisma by Big Dog 1 by Brian Dyson and Paul Woodrow, deals with the ecstasy and collective emotional outbursts in mass events, especially in a stadium, and juxtaposes it with human frustration, emotional crises and delusions of grandeur. The piece was written in 1988 in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
