What's funny is how you realize in those situations how much things don't bother you that normally would. For example, being pushed and shoved. I was so worried about getting crushed i didn't mind it at all. Being kicked in the side of the head by crowd surfers, I got kicked and just pushed their foot away and waited for the next one. No security so you can guess which row got the brunt of that. Rubbing up against sweaty people. Normally I would be like don't freakin' touch me, but I was like fuck it I'll shower. Being groped from behind by girls in the crowd....OK so that doesn't really bother me but I was with my wife and I thought it was excessive. One girl was complimenting the tattoo's on my back and I think it was her. I swear this is true, at one point I looked at my wife and said their pulling my pants all the way down. Thank goodness I wore a belt. Lastly putting my hands on the stage. For the first three bands I kept it to to an absolute minimum. The carpet was old and stained and had gum all stuck in it and it was so hot all the bands were dripping sweat on it as was the crowd up front. When the chaos was happening I was palms flat pushing as hard as I could and didn't even care what I was putting my hands into.Having water and beer and whatever poured and splashed and sprayed all over me would normally get me pissed but I was soaking wet (literally) and didn't even remember how until later at McDonald's the wife and I were discussing it and I kind of started remembering some of it. Overall crazy experience. I say all the time I'm getting too old for this shit, maybe I should listen to myself!   ...or just say fuck it you only live once! (lol)

Bud, that reminds of a story my friend told me about the 1980 BS tour

Priest played the Erie County Field House Erie, Pa

No seats on the floor standing room only with a steel bar across the front of the stage.

He was with the biggest dude from our school and lucky

because same thing as soon as Priest came out everyone pushed forward and he would have been crushed

if not for the big brute holding people back.
