    A few weeks after, I met the guy we passed back. Back then(1981), $18.50 was a lot for a gig. He honestly couldn't tell me how much he did that day. Bottom line, he remembered NOTHING outside of being a human life raft.

    I'm so impressed. A drugged-out, drunken fool, who's likely homeless, or dead now. Gee.

    At the Who Farewell show(1982) I attended, my glasses got kicked off by someone on shoulders, got kneed, jabbed, shoved. I finally got tired of all the mess and was ready to elbow somebody. Guy next to me had a joint and just before I did the elbow(well...attempted to), 4 or 5 of Missisippi's finest swooped on him like stink on s@it. They wanted the roach. He probably swallowed it.

    Or probably somebody in his late teens/early 20's cutting loose at a gig. Only took me getting loaded once to have me NEVER do that again. Ah.....the 70s early 80s.

    Sucks. Usually the barrier is too tall, so you can't see over it if you're pushed up against it. If you wear glasses, they'll probably fog up and you won't see anything anyway. That's what happened to me at Def Leppard in '83. I pushed myself over the barrier and had security escort me to the sidelines. Had a more enjoyable experience watching it from the back.
