There are countless little tiny moments and details that stick in your head long after tours and gigs have finished. The way a plec was flicked, a piece of crowd banter, the lights. They can range from sublime to awful with ridiculous somewhere in between. A few of my TD in-gig ones:
- Justin dropping the mike in Paris.
- A view of bum via the purple devil-tailed catsuit.
- The nasty man in the crowd accusing TD of selling out during the first play of Christmas Time.
- The feel of a front row bouncing in unison.
- Running high fives.
- Acoustic SLAGI, in blue light.
- Handstands.
- Dan’s armwaving during Holding My Own.
- Feeling another breastbone barrier height bruise forming on top of the last one.
What little things stood out for you?
At Brighton in 2006, Justin ripping out his underwear label and tossing it into the crowd. My friend is now the proud owner.
I remember seeing him do that! ‘Rock star irritated by own undercrackers’ !
I love the Hawkins high fives, Dan’s arm waving from the side of the stage during Holding My Own, and having bagpipers on stage at T in the Park 😀
