| Comment | Bizarrest concert experience I had was Steve Howe in Edinburgh back in the 90s. Tiny intimate gig in an old church. Just him on a tiny stage that was only a couple of feet high.
The gig was seated with chairs arranged in rows and a space at the front between the front row and the stage of maybe 8-10ft.
I was there with my old man and we had seats in the very front row. We sit down and people start coming in. One of the stewards appears with a heavily disabled man in an electric wheelchair. Trying not to be disrespectful here, but imagine Stephen Hawking.
Steve Howe comes out on stage, nice polite applause. Just him and his guitar and he starts playing.
Your man in the wheelchair then starts zooming backwards and forwards in front of the stage making lots of load unintelligible sounds, grunts and screams. Steve to his credit just keeps going but it's a quiet intimate gig and wheelchair man is the main focus for everyone.
From memory he kept it up for the first 3-4 songs before the security stepped in and took him away .. utterly fucking bizarre experience |
