Funniest thing you've ever done at a concert?

[bif]

He's mine. We went to a John McLaughlin Carlos Santana concert back in the 70s at the basketball arena in Ann Arbor. It was when they were into their religious crap. So before they start the show, they call for a few moments of prayer. They dim the lights and there was a bunch of incense burning on stage. It's quiet for a minute or so when my friend and I scream at the top of our lungs: "SMOKE ON THE WATER!" About 20,000 people cracked up.

1. If you go to the Lenny Kravitz thread, my funniest moment is there.

Basically, I called LK a poseur.

2. 1984, Judas Priest, Alpine Valley, WI

My friends and I had this goofy little contruction-guy action figure we called "Crazy Weinstein" (in honor of the Joe Piscopo skit in SNL). We hurled him onstage during the encore. Rob Halford picked up and gave kind of a WTF? look.

We had fun with it.

3. I passed a bong to a security guard at Alpine Valley

It was at a ZZ top concert way, way back. I handed it to him thinking he'd pass it across the aisle. I was a bit drunk, and didn't notice his SECURITY shirt.

It was so long ago, the guard actually passed it to the person across the aisle! Of course, back then they used to have a head shop in the Alpine Valley concession stand...

4. Whoa, I guess it all happens at Alpine Valley!

[htuttle]

6. The lawn seating used to be pretty wild!

I remember walking back up the hill many times seeing dozens of 'casualties' passed out on the grass. I always wondered what happens to those people...

[XNASA]

25. I'll second that.

I dropped at a Utopia concert in 1978 at Alpine Valley. Whoa. Now that was a surreal experience.

Actually started getting off before arriving and nearly spent the night driving around the Wisconsin wilderness.

Memmories.

5. I got everyone to mooo

after a hoardfest concert in Milwaukee. We were all filing out very very slowly through concrete stairways and I started to mooo (I felt like cattle) and it picked up and everyone started mooing. It was so funny :)

[sundog]

7. Got so stoned we couldn't find the car after the show. Eventually...

the parking lot was abandoned & we found it.

[JimmyJazz]

9. not you! I find that hard to believe - people who post here smoke pot!

I'm absolutely aghast.

[sundog]

10. shocking!

:7

[JimmyJazz]

8. I was at a David Johanssen concert and standing right in front of

him. It was a small venue and there was no barrier. Everytime he moved forward I would touch his shoe, then I would stare at my finger and pretend to swoon. David Jo started laughing and then reached down and pulled me onto stage, planted a kiss on me and put me back into the crowd! :7

12. stoLen womens' shoes

when they came surfing by

[meegbear]

13. A bunch of us went to a Yes concert in Worcester MA ...

one of the guys is legally blind and has a white cane. When we were in the lot heading out, it was packed so moving was slow. The driver asked for guy's cane and he stuck it out the driver's side window and started to click it back and forth like when someone is walking.

People started pulling out of the way, thinking we were letting a blind guy drive the car, and we were out in no time.

14. Grateful Dead, RFK, probably 1993 or so...

Did a Nestea plunge onto the patio of our room at the HoJo after huffing enough Nitrous to sedate a blue whale.

[Willy Lee]

21. Scary, I did that too

afetr a Frost show. Damn that nitrous oxide! Hippy crack!

[bif]

23. The Frost from Detroit?

[Willy Lee]

27. Nope, the one in California

Frost Amphitheatre. Lovely place fro a show. Damn I miss those guys.

[jayfish]

15. D.R.I Show In GR, MI..

About half-way through the show I thought I would try a stage-dive for the first time. I got past "security" and on to the stage, moshed around for a bit then hit the sky. The crowd caught me and it was awesome. Well not being one for moderation, I decided to try again. This time I went past security and straight for the dive. Well, just as my flight began the front part of the crowd began to open up to accommodate a growing mosh pit behind it. There were only a handful of people to catch me and they didn't. I ended up auguring, head first, into the concrete floor. I never stage-dived again.
:evilgrin:

16. Mushrooms.

Is there anything funnier than mushrooms? If there is, I don't know about it.

[johnnie]

22. Well....

I almost died off of a bad batch. It took me forever to call my brother and told him to come over, and only call the cops if I stopped breathing. It wasn't funny at the time. Too much of a good/bad thing can almost kill ya.

[XNASA]

26. Yoinks.

I'm amazed that I'm still alive after what I put myself through in the late 70's - early 80's.

I'm lucky to have lived to tell the tale.

[johnnie]

29. Oh yeah....I know the feeling

Unfortunately a few friends didn't make it through to tell the tale.

17. pint of 151 in about 5 minutes

not that funny but the guys in the first aid tent WOULD NOT believe that all I had ingested was alcohol.

Hey it wasn't tequila, the "dangerous" alcohol, just rum - girly booze. YEAH!

[dancing kali]

18. Girly booze!

151 bleached the dark green linoleum floor in my husband's dorm room white when some got spilled one night. Wouldn't touch the stuff after that.

By the way, I like your username and avatar.

[Kali]

20. reminds me of something

Used to have some pretty wild New Years and July 4th parties. One year one of our best drinkers puked in the yard and I think it took something like 3 years for the grass to recover in that spot - "killing grass" became the new "talking to ralph on the big white phone" for our group of friends for a long time.

Wonder why nobody shows up for those hollidays anymore????


Yes Kali is an interesting entity eh? What's your story? (its actually my real name, shhhh don't tell anybody)

[dancing kali]

30. I was in a

'dark night of the soul' period of my life when I was turned on to DU. I was feeling bloodthirsty and Kali came to mind. The image you use as your avatar, I've always referred to as 'Dancing Kali'. I used to be a dancer... the name seemed to fit so that's how I came up with my user name. I occasionally wear a pendant made out of tauga nut (vegie ivory) that is carved in that image. I should wear it to work tonight... I could use the back-up.

Sounds like those were good parties.

[Blue-Jay]

19. Crapped in a trash can.

Hey, those porto-johns were nasty.

[Magrittes Pipe]

24. He said "at a concert."

Not "at Hedges' house."

:o

[johnnie]

28. Two that I recall

One was the Blossom music center parking lot after a Tom Petty and Replacements concert. My buddies and I inadvertently started a riot while we got back in our car and made or way out through the back. There were at least 100 people, if not more, fighting before we got clear of the fights. On the way out we saw a bunch of cop cars and a few ambulances heading up that way.
The other time was after a Cleveland Indians game when Crosby, Stills and Nash played. You weren't allowed on the field and I was getting squished against the railing so I jumped on the field. I had 4 or 5 rent-a-cops chasing me around for a few minutes while CSN played "Teach your children". It was like a scene out of the Keystone cops. I am not too tall of a guy and I was dodging them and running all over laughing. Eventually they got me, threw me to the ground and cuffed me. While they were walking me toward the dugout a large group of people who knew me saw me, called out my name and started cheering. The one "cop" said, "Oh, you have a fan club", while he notched the cuffs up one more notch. It ended up making my wrists bleed. It was funny that day and it is still funny to me today. :)
