    I will keep it short.

    I went to see Mono (Japan) at a small art gallery in Providence RI called AS220.

    As the band started the last song 4+ police officers busted in to the venue w/guns out. They were yelling to stop the music and everyone to put up their hands etc. There was only like 100 people there but it was scary as hell.

    The cops ran around the club for a few minutes then someone yells "There he goes" and the cops run out of the club in to the steet.

    The band never finished and we were all asked to leave.

    Come to find out the next day that a guy had stolen a gun from a cop and shot him in the police station that was 1/2 a block down the street. He jumped out the window and fled to the first "open place" he found and asked they call him a cab.

    Scariest concert moment ever. I didn't tell my wife about it for months as I was sure she'd never let me go to a show again. I go to 99% of concerts alone because I tape them.

    I have a far longer version I typed up..so if you wanna read it I'll PM it to you...

    I remember being close to the FSUN sign in the pit. Absolutely nuts. You can see the circle pits forming.

    Here's another one:

    Amazing show. I was one of the "blue shirts" in this video. We were pulling out over 100 people per minute. Crazy fucking show! Both days were amazing but nothing like Rage! I still have the entire set of Rage and the RHCP on VHS in storage. One of the best boots ever (just for RATM, the Peppers blew that day!)

    My craziest show was seeing Rammstein open for KMFDM not knowing who the fuck Rammstein were. It was a tiny club in Palo Alto (name escapes me, but I also saw Hovercraft there). I could not believe these fucking guys were doing pyro in a tiny ass club. Lead singer sets himself on fire, one of the guitarist's crowd sufs in an inflatable raft, and then the giant inflatable penis that shot out an unknown substance. Yeah, not going to see Rammstein anytime soon.

    I was gonna say that the peppers blew as well. Didn't they have their 2 month guitar player at that show, Arik Marshall?

    Once the Peppers started everyone just kind of looked around and headed for the gate. BTW I love RHCP but to follow RATM was pointless.
    NERDS!

    I think the craziest Show I ever saw was...hum,hum, I have to admit it one day,....sorry,....The....Bloodhound gang for the hooray for boobies tour...They are really crazy...they just can play music but their show is something you have to see...they pee on each other, they play half of the set naked ( things they are not doing in the Staates ). This combo is just disturbed...but someways funny.
    Beavis : Is this Pearl Jam?
    Butt-head: This guy makes faces like Eddie Vedder.
    Beavis: No, Eddie Vedder makes faces like this guy.
    Butt-head: I heard these guys, like, came first and Pearl Jam ripped them off.
    Beavis: No, Pearl Jam came first.
    Butt-head: Well, they both suck.

    I think you're right about the guitarist. To be honest the only time I actually sat through their set was that day because I was paid to be there. Everytime I watch the video I watch all of Rage and then turn it off. RHCP should have closed out the day before or went on before Rage. Any other time was pointless.
