Leash in Toronto : 20+ years since played in Canada
My White Whale. For me this would be equivalent to seeing Fugazi play Waiting Room in a warehouse and being asked by a fellow in a wheelchair if I would crowd surf...as we were both losing our minds...and then being scolded by Ian Mackaye for doing so 
I promise not to crowd surf my old bones around
First Fugazi show memory + First live leash. From North Bay for Scott, Jon, Kelly (RIP) & Jason (who first played me PJ) to delight in our youth ...that will never end
First time played in Canada was in Toronto... 24 years, 1 month, and 8 days.
04/04/92 - Concert Hall: Toronto, Ontario [68m]
set: Oceans, Even Flow, Why Go, Jeremy, Deep, Alive, Black, State of Love and Trust, Once, Porch, Breath, Happy Birthday, Leash
notes: During 'Porch,' Ed climbs up onto the balcony and starts working his way all the way around the venue on the edge of the balcony. About 3/4 of the way around, two security guards grab him and pull him off the edge. They don't realize who he is, thinking he is a fan climbing. When they realize their error, they let him go. Ed stands on the edge of the balcony and then drops down onto the crowd below - quite a drop but they catch him! Then he "swims" to the stage, picks up the mic and says, "I can do ... whatever the fuck I want!" 'Happy Birthday' is sung to Mike. Ed introduces Henry Rollins and someone (tour manager, Eric Johnson) looking and dressing very much like Henry comes on stage. "Henry" has a huge happy face drawn on his back with magic marker.

I wish i was the souvenir you kept your house key on..
I am fuel, you are friends, we got the means to make amends
I am lost, I'm no guide, but I'm by your side
I am right by your side.
