The Happy Mondays concert at Elland Road 1990..

The Farm had just gone off stage and while they were playing a guy had been climbing the floodlights. .

During the change of bands, 90,000 of us watched this guy climb higher. .

The DJ started a chant.. which we all joined in with.. "Come on down man you cannot fly, if you jump your gunna die!!"

He carried on climbing... The police circling the bottom not knowing wtf to do about it..

The bloke then disappeared behind the lights. He got to the top.. and with 90,000 mad pill heads stood beneath him He stood on top of the lights (which were turned off btw or he would cooked) and then raised his arms and you could hear a pin drop....

And out of nowhere... Boom!!! THE MONDAYS!!! Burst onto the stage..

Dunno what happened to that nutter but as long as I live... me and 90,000 others will never forget that moment..
