I have a concert experience to share that i think some here will actually enjoy hearing. I went to the MRH "Oldschool" show last night and what started out as a fantastic event turned into my worst concert experience ever. Got early entry to watch the sound check and that was pretty cool. Only got to see a couple of songs but there were only about 100 people so we could see great and it was comfortable and it was cool seeing them play not wearing masks or costumes. They offered a food spread and then went to an outside fenced in patio area to meet and talk with everyone. Got to get pics with everyone and they gave us tshirts and posters and we had them signed. Went back in and got a spot right up by the stage. Thought it was going to be great but during the last band before MRH the crowd started pressing forward. I was up front for them before so I thought I was prepared for what was to come and stayed up front. During the intermission the crowd started thrusting forward and I had to use the stage as leverage to hold everyone back. By time the lights went down I was reduced to using my knees pressed against the stage and palms flat on it to hold people back and was in a postion where I couldn't get out of the crowd. It got so bad that I could only turn my head to look at wife and I told her I didn't think this was going to go well. When the band started it was chaos and a everyone behind us was pressing forward. I ended up flat against the stage screaming out in pain because my legs were getting crushed and I was totally spent and couldn't do anything. All I could do was reach for the band and ask for help. At first I think some of the members just thought I was trying to touch them and ignored it. Then one was over top of me using a hose to water the crowd and he noticed me in anguish and he tried to pull me up. I was getting smashed so bad I couldn't move and he started trying to push people off of me and he was giving it everything he had. Finally I felt a gap and I pulled myself up on stage. Then some of the other members just thought I jumped up and were trying to get me to jump into the crowd. Then the crowd was yelling at me to jump and I just stepped in. Then people trying to help were like why didn't you jump. I couldn't hardly breath or talk and just shook my had. Luckily trying to get out of the crowd people were just shoving toward the back. My wife had to be pulled right after me. Yeah it sucked. Moral of the story. Lift weights if you want to be up front at a MRH show. Fuck!!!
