I have worked my fair share of concerts, both good and bad. The one that stands out was Iron Maiden with Anthrax as the opening act. the cloud of smoke coming out of the theater during the first Anthrax song was enough for a verrrrry good contact high. One of the guys from Anthrax was using the payphone backstage when I walked through and totally freaked, worried that I would bug him. Like I cared!
The problem was when the lead singer decided he would take his limo to get here. The rest of the band came by tour bus earlier in the day. He got stuck on the Grapevine for 2 hours due to snow. Right about the time the fans began to get in riot mode, he showed up.
the other was a rap concert, featuring a mess of different acts. Someone thought it would be fun to pop a balloon. I was so glad I chose not to work that one. As a result there is still a ban on rap concerts held at inside venues in Bakersfield.
