Thread Name: Worst gig ever.
Subject: RE: Worst gig ever.
Once in College I was playing at this run down bar and strumming some old folk tune. The next thing I know this drunk walks over to one of the tables were the customers sat. Sitting there was this huge guy with his girl friend who was wearing a very small halter top. The drunk leans over and tells the girl she has the biggest ^&&*&^ he ever saw. The next thing I know the boyfriend throws the guy through the table spilling beer on the other people around him. This caused an all out bar fight. Right out of the blues brothers movie (remember the chicken wire stage). In the meantime I kept on strumming along dodging the flying beer bottles. As the drunks fell towards me I would give them a push back into the fight with my foot while still playing. I was paid 100 dollars US ... big money at the time. Probably because no one else was stupid enough to play in that place. I survived it but never went back again.
