support: Let's Active
notes: From an eyewitness who was at this show: "I saw Michael
and Peter before show talking to a punker with a shaved head -this
is all very abbreviated, I'll write more if I ever have time.
Anyway, Let's Active opened to about 30 souls and people kept asking
Mitch the name of the band between songs. Seems no one could understand
it!
So when REM started playing they played very fast and VERY loud and
Michael danced like a dervish and it marvelous. So this punker guy
starts slam dancing and people who weren't into it sort of moved away
but he bumped it this cowboy's girlfriend and the guy started to lay
into our punk friend. Well Peter saw this from the stage, put down
his guitar mid-song, and jumped off the stage into the crowd to break
the fight and presumably prevent the diminuative punk from getting
his ass kicked. He told the astonished cowboy "This is a friend
of mine. If you want to fight, wait till after the show and I will
fight you outside." The cowboy cooled off and Peter got back
up onsatage and finished the set.
I partied with them after the show and told Peter I thought that was
a cool thing to do. He just said it was no big deal." - C. Holbert
