speakn' of potatoes and apples, I caught, or tried to catch a panic show in Tuscaloosa back in the early days. We were going on scalp tickets when we got there. No luck, no tickets.... then all of a sudden we luck up on a couple of tickets cheap.....
The concert was being held in a metal storage shed, could have held maybe 3k people, concrete floors, bring your cooler type thing... so we make it up to the door and the fire marshalls are blocking the entrance. No more people allowed inside. Someone inside opened the door to come out with some equipment and the crowd bum rushed the marshall. We were in the pack and running hard... When I went through the door my feet weren't touching the ground, the pressure on my shoulders against the mob was holding me up.... inside was a mad house, a mob of people with coolers full of beer, and grass firing up... lights go down, they come out and do a warm up set... ten to fifteen minutes.... this was going to be a good show.. .then the fire marshall pulls the plug and cancels the event... the crowd was so angry they started pelting the stage with full cans of beer!.... we stayed and watched for about ten minutes... the beer cans were destroying the place... someone got the marshall when he came out on stage and he had to be helped off. We left and the cans were still flying....
Later the next week we called ticket master and got refunds on the tickets we bought from a scalp, we made about twenty bucks off of em, that covered the gas to get there.
