but one of my favorites was a jethro Tull concert...
everyone was getting real anxious and we're like, where the F__K is the band....???
little did we know...that the set up people had exchanged places with the band in those white technician coats...and suddenly they were doing stuff on stage to slowly get our attention.... and when they finally did....they whip off their tech clothes and the lights go out....and its just black.....and then they Hammered us bigtime...
but my favorite one was...when a group of us (25 people) go to see the rolling stones concert in the early seventies ok...but nobody knew that over 500 tickets had been counterfitted so 500 people with real tickets showed up wicked mad and started a riot outside because they were not allowed in.
as the concert starts a friend in our group had this spike horn deer antler pipe for smokin...and had gone down to the floor to see some chick....and this dude trys to steal it from him so he jabs him with it..and a fight breaks out bigtime...ok...well 50 cops rush in
then 500 people rush in starting the chant... "no no no...let him go" so a hundred cops rush in..and 1000 fans rush in... soon the whole place is screaming bloody murder LET HIM GO ,,,LET him GO...so loud it seemed as if the roof would cave in.... and finally the police decided to let him go...........
or all hell would have broke loose.... so everyones cheering...right
next on the big 50 x 50 screen comes an episode of "Dragnet" with joe friday and bill gannon...but as that big hammer came down striking the anvil it was perfect sweet poetic justice for the little guy....
anyways because of the riot outside....cars burning and lots of riot police on horses ect... the Stones had to play for an additional
45 minutes to keep everyone inside so they wouldnt add to the
mayhem outside the sports arena... so that made the concert seem to last forever.....
