Spotted this on Ebay the other day from JB's Hot Water tour in '88. If memory serves he played the Melbourne Town Hall when he came down to Victoria. I see The Herbs were support, what a great double bill that would have been. I was 19 at the time and none of my friends were fan's (it was either Jimmy Barnes, Midnight Oil, The Angels, INXS or my mates weren't interested back in those days) so I didn't go, I thought oh well I'll catch him next time - 23 years later!

It is. I once did a show with Whiteheart and Rick Florian, the singer, decided it would be a good idea to jump off the stage and walk through the audience. Problem was that the tip of his cowboy boots got caught on the lip of the stage and he went headfirst into the orchestra pit.

I remember seeing a documentary on Bing Crosby that mentioned a big stage fall, I think he died a few months afterwards.
