    It’s difficult picking one but the most out of control one was Cypress Hill at the Royal Court in Liverpool. Shots were fired into the ceiling, one of the support band wandered across the stage at one point apparently oblivious to proceedings, cops in full riot gear legged it passed us and when we left there was blood in the foyer and a line of police vans down the block. Apparently a gang from Manchester had come and tried to smash their way in.

        It was a bit intense for me as I was wrecked. Luckily, we were in the circle so if complete mayhem had broken out, we’d have been safer.

        Here’s one reminesence:

        Nearly forgot, Cypress Hill waaaaaaay back in the mid 90s at the Royal Court.

        B-Real was on strge, and pointed out that the “bastard customs officers took all our weed. We heard you guys here get some nice smoke, can somebody lend me a spliff”

        to say it rained reefers would be an understatement. B-Real wandered around the stage, picking up joints n smellin them. Eventually found one he liked and sparked it up. At that stage the security stopped tryin to get the rest of the crowd to stop smokin

        I cant actually remember if the performance was any good, but it was a belter of a night.
