Strangest thing you've seen at a Manics gig

Had a discussion about this with a friend on Saturday night. For me, it was a crowd-surfing wheelchair at Kettering in 1998.

I'm assured it was followed by its owner.

Girls at the Blackpool gig for EMG pinching other peoples bags,sorting through it and discussing the stuff in the bags before leaving it all in a pile at the back of the room. Never seen it at any gig before or since. It was very wierd!!

Mogwai.
Amazing band but odd choice as support.
(they might have been pre-wheel chair incident thinking about it)

I think the wheelchair was during the Manics. No-one really cared during Mogwai.

I'll accept that one - but they're an amazing band - just not to an area of of manic fans, most of who probably didn't know them.

James shadow boxing at Cardiff at NYE when his guitar strap broke was pretty strange.

Unless they were supported by themselves, the Manics support band would always go down badly.
