Saw something amazing at a gig last night.

That's cool Asreadas.
But I think I'm going to divert this into a: What amazing, unexpected, things have you seen at gigs?
back in 1996 I saw Garbage perform at the North Shore Events centre in Auckland, NZ.
The mosh pit was crazy and half way through the set Shirley Manson stopped the set and started shouting at a guy in the mosh pit who was letting his hands roam on women around him. She called him out, pointed the bouncers to where he was and told them to throw the f****** pervert out. I think they gave him a bit of a manhandling as well as they got rid. The crowd, of course, loved Shirley's response and she was rightly feted as a hero.
Then at the same venue, two years later Portishead played. Now you normally wouldn't associate Portishead with a mosh pit, but there was one here and Beth Gibbons was so into the crowd reaction that she did a crowd surf and was carried aloft from the front of the moshpit and back again.
Both were amazing concerts by the way.
Now I'm thinking bout it, I've got quite few more, but will let others tell theirs here.
The first time I saw Electric Eel Shock at a small venue in Cardiff. I wasn't expecting a naked drummer to walk in from the bar and push his way through the crowd to get up on stage and start playing with just a white ankle sock covering his meat and two veg.
