I thought I would share an experience I had last night at a gig my band did in a pub.
The venue is a full-on punk venue at weekends, and there were already some grungy, boisterous young people there when we arrived at 8pm clearly outa their heads and it was not alcohol..
Anyway we played near the bar with the punters up close, one particular guy started dancing wildly, and then I saw everyone covering their faces and then it hit me - an overpowering smell of shit!!! This guy had voided his bowels into his trousers..Chaos ensued, but the band played on even though we were gagging.
The next number was renamed ' The smell has gone" by BB King
& the moral of that story is however bad it gets, keep on truckin', and you will triumph through adversity Ha!

Interesting experience! Being in a bar-band certainly has its perilous sides, especially with those punks in the audience.

A bunch of my friends were sitting around in my childhood home one summer day. We didn't have AC and it was brutally hot. We had a big floor fan blowing across the room from the front door.
The dogs weren't mine. I had a cat. It wasn't my responsibility to make sure they got let out. That was my brother's job. He kept putting it off.
You know how, when someone farts and no one says anything you can kind of follow it around the room. You can watch and see people's faces and tell when it has reached them, that moment when they arch an eyebrow and make that face. Maybe they pull their shirt up over their face. Maybe they hold their breath.
Well, when a labrador takes a large, moist dump right behind the floor fan... people nearly tripped over each other trying to get out of the room. :)

I'm a plumber, you just wouldn't believe the s---hit I've seen, and you'll never hear me play Golden Brown on the harmonica.

I believe it was a New Years Eve gig few years ago in Dallas.., one of the band members decided to introduce the road kill piñata. Cleared the place out. Apparently, punk as they were, the audience wasn't going down that path with him.
There are a lot of mentally ill people out there self medicating on the bar stool right next to you. And then, there's just idiots.
