saw the yoof for the first time this past weekend at the state x show. fucking awesome obviously! . .. and loving these threads too. my view of the stage and band was sublime, if u know the venue i was on the left lower balcony right up front. a position in which not only could i read the setlists but could also reach down and grab a lock of lee's hair . . . should i wish. i didn't. however, from this vantage point i witnessed a spectacle that will remain with me for perhaps as long as the show itself will. that of a man having the spirit of the sonics in him . . . rushing on to the stage . . . spinning in a wild circle . .. uncontrollable . . . and throwing his 6foot+ frame in to the unsuspecting audience below . . . which, in turn, horrified, moved en masse in differing directions to allow the excited chap the full freedom of the floor . . . slapping down hard to many an oooh/aaah . . .. not only this but i continued to spy his return back to his mates head down a little ashamed i imagined him to be . . . . whereby he was followed by a rather scarylooking and baldheaded fellow who took it upon himself to land a slap on our excited youngster's face and return back to where he was so rudely interrupted. . . . stagediver man looking around wondering what had happened . . . me half pissing myself half pissed at this commotion distracting my first sy gig . . . . but priceless nonetheless and certainly worth sharing on this thread.
