Pink Floyd Momentary Lapse of Reason tour when I was 16 in Toronto. Stadium was packed, cops were everywhere doing security. They play the album, go off, return to play the classics, then leave. We’re all shouting for an encore, but they don’t return. So the cops open the exits and people start filing out. My friend and I are up in the stands so it takes us a while to get down to the floor. Just as we’re in the middle of the floor, lasers shoot out over our heads and Gilmour starts into Run Like Hell. Cops freak and close all the exits so people can’t get back in. It’s total chaos. We run to the first seats we can grab and end up seeing a three song encore from way better seats in a half filled stadium. Truly epic.
