Stereoroid just reminded me...
I was a member of a short-lived band in late '99. I was keyboards/backing vocals

Our first, and last, paid gig was infront of about 700 RAF people.

One of our covers was Comfortably Numb. It sounded not too bad according to the, undeniably, drunk audience, but when it got to the bit where i was supposed to scream (those who know the song will understand), i copped out.

There was just a quiet moment and a disappointed look from the singer (who, as a side line, had lost his voice), and lead guitar.

We'd been asked for and hour show, but ran out of songs at 55 minutes. We filled the last 5 with the longest version of unrehearsed 'Wild Thing' ever.

Audience participation. Don't you love it.
