Rush at the Lakefront Arena in NOLA in either 83 or 84. Girl got into it so much she strips down to nothing and starts dancing. Geddy and Alex caught a look and pointed her out from the stage and started laughing their asses off without skipping a beat.

I had friends at that show who saw that and came back telling me about it. Definitely one of the major missed show regrets I have in life! I didn't catch Rush live until years later, and it certainly didn't feature that.

Wildest thing you’ve ever seen at a concert?

I once saw Phish play a song that was under 4 minutes and had an actual melody.

J/K - you people will believe ANYTHING

On the 1997 tour, Metallica nightly staged a catastrophe onstage.

That one seems different than the one I saw at MSG on the same tour - which featured a stage tech being caught by the ankle with a cable and swung high up in the air. I was annoyed at the time that I had seen reference to it online, because I was expecting it. The two women in front of me started bawling, as they thought someone had died.

Spleen I was at the same 2 ABB Shows remember the Charlotte duo getting it on in the grass. Standing Ovation!


Mid 90s Wife and I saw the same red headed dude at 2 WSP shows in a row running around with just his shoes on get thrown out.


HORDE Fest at Oak Mountain 92 a dude got so fricked up on mushrooms he couldn't wait for a stall so he shite in the comunial round metal pisser, cleared to room.


95 Vegas Dead shows (day shows - then Panic late night) (we be tripping) they had showers all around the stands for people to cool off under. You can imagine the dirty hippies getting nekkid, busting out shampoo & soap.

The Casino carpet and lighting was awesome on shrooms plus all the flashing lights with ding ding from slots and freaky dressed up themed employees walking around.

1981. ZZ Top El Loco tour. The Summit. Houston.

I was sitting in the nose bleed section. Two or tree rows from the top.

Guy behind me tapped me on the shoulder and asked me if I would hold a lighter for him.

As I was holding the lighter, he was preparing a needle. I don't know what was in it.

He did the shot. About five minutes later, he rolled all the way down the stairs. Almost went over the railing. He overdosed. He was bleeding profusely. Fire and rescue had to take him from the arena.

Not sure if he lived or not, but that was the first time I ever saw anyone shoot up and overdose. It kept me from ever using a needle.

I've seen lots of T&A and fights as well. I've been to a lot of concerts.

I watched Cross Canadian Ragweed at the Varsity back when I was an undergrad. People in the crowd were hounding them to play “Carney Man” throughout the show, and they refused.

They came back out for the encore. The lead singer, Cody Canada, starts playing this song. It was sort of a sentimental one. And somebody yells, “frick this song! Play ‘Carney Man!’”

Cody immediately stops mid song, and goes, “frick this. I’m out.” Slams his guitar on the ground, and storms off the stage. The rest of the band follows him, and the lights come on. People start trying to find the heckler, and it turns into twenty or so guys in the audience brawling.

Not that wild for the era but high pressure water cannons being used on unruly fans at the Texas Jam in 1988 in the Cotton Bowl. It was over 100 degrees.

In the frick did I just read here……

Marfa;

That's the greatest rock story ever.

Tripping dusty baby being born, dropping acid, King Kong like jaw ripping...

All that's missing is a midget, a pitbull, a can of Crisco, a hoisting rope, a pulley and a blow up doll.
