Ever catch something from a band member throwing stuff to the crowd at a concert?

I just watched Grand Funk Railroad live a few minutes ago and Farner threw his harmonica into the crowd after playing Inside Looking Out. It got me thinking about my one and only drumstick...
Ever caught a drumstick, guitar pick, or anything a band member has thrown into the crowd?
I have caught one drumstick out of the hundreds of shows I've seen since the late 70's. Come close a few times for others.
The one I managed to get was from Billy Idol's drummer. Gregg Gerson. Early eighties. Unfortunately, I broke it not long after when I moved from one city to the next.
Anyone else ever catch something?

I've got a bunch of guitar picks, a drumstick, a setlist, and even got a cheesestick once.

Nice.
Who's setlist? That would be a great piece of memorabilia.

I caught a water bottle square in the chest thrown by Manson at State Palace on the Antichrist Superstar tour. Then I nailed the frick out of him with that same bottle.
Doing God’s work there.

My roommate caught Keith Moon’s drumstick of The Who when they played the “Assembly Center”, as it was called back then, in 1977 or 1978. We camped outside the Assembly Center the night before so we could stand close to the stage. After their final encore Moon kicked over his drum set and tossed the sticks while Townsend smashed his guitar. Great show! Had dinner with my old roommate several years ago and he said he still had the drumstick.

I got a guitar pick thrown by Damon Johnson when he played with Alice Cooper back in maybe 2006? I saw him sling it, couldn’t see it but felt it hit my chest. Looked at the seat in front of me and it was just sitting there. Corky Laing of Mountain bounced a drumstick off my head. Complete whiff on my part.

I caught a t-shirt fired out of a gun by no less than Garth Brooks at a Baton Rouge show on his ‘98 tour.

Set list is from The Black Dahlia Murder. I was standing near the stage at the end of the show and someone handed me a crumpled up piece of paper. I didn't even ask for it.

Got a guitar pick from Rick Neilson of Cheap Trick that he flicked into the audience. I still have it

Caught a grape from Shannon Hoon a month or so before he passed.

Was drenched in blood and jizz sprayed into the crowd at a GWAR show. Had to throw away my clothes when I got home.
I'm sure folks that have attended a GG Allin show may have caught something tossed at them.

A Carter Beauford drum stick

I saw Iggy Pop take the microphone stand and swirl it around over his head like a helicopter. I don’t know if he intentionally let go or if it slipped but he launched the mic stand about 20 ft deep into the crowd. It had to have busted someone in the head.
