Had a nice (crushed) almost front rail center view - missed Spider's getting tray by 2 people.
Might be naive (or never payed attention), but I had always assumed that crowd surfers get ejected from a venue when the bouncers get ahold of them.....but I saw a same bald guy in a Boston Celtics jersey surf up to the front 4 times....once during the opener, 3 times during the Pogues (one of which came over me).
Though the rituals of crowd-surfing remain mysterious to me after 34 years, my understanding is the security guys are complicit only in the safe passage of the surfer to dry land. I don't think they consider crowd-surfing a capital offence, as a rule.
just another way to enjoy humanity and nature at the same time. just approach the two biggest dudes you can find together and ask them to put you up
last show i attended was st. patrick's day in new york. got to see a couple of old navy buddies and show them the band i'd been bumping all hours of the night on board or any fucking time i could. got to watch and hear you jam one more time. without realizing what it was i was in the moment. and then on saint paddy's?! AND IN NEW YORK?!
i still cry every now and then over a lot of this and a lot of what came from everything here
i still shed tears for the famine :*)
