    :D Our first concert wasn't until November! :)

    My first PJ gig was at the Esplanade in Southend, in Feb 1992. The little fucker had a small stage then, without the trajectory. :lol:

    Watch from 3 mins onwards. Mind you, to toss one's carrots over a fan might be one of the best euphemisms I've heard for a while.

    I was just thinking. I remember the bloke who filmed this. He was built like a brick shithouse. I mean, about three feet wide, Well, you had to be in those days, to record something like this with a camera from the middle of an insane moshpit.

    The link you put up is to a George Foreman fight though. It's not a concert! :?

    That's great! I just laughed outloud... a lot... at your response. I was also laughing when reading the earlier posts where everyone was trying to figure out the connection.. I only knew about this because he mentioned it on a different thread when someone ask him about the meaning of his screen name.

    I still remember that show like it was yesterday! I was 16 and it was my first PJ show. Great set, and we got to see Neil Young later - perfect!
