Simon, did you go to the Ultravox concert at the agora ballroom (early eighties?) if you did and remember the fight on the main floor that was me beating the crap out of some jock who threw a drink on my then gf  instead of stopping the fight, the stage crew just pointed a big spotlight on us.

Back then no one was sure whether it was a fight or just some punks moshing, slamming and thrash dancing. My friends Jumpin Jack, The Weave, and Rex Havoc were infamous for starting fights with each other that then turned into a big dance circle. Though that was more often at 688, we often started trouble at the Agora too. Consensual of course, the management thought we were the kind of nuts they wanted there.
I forget if it was the Agora, 688 or somewhere else that I watched Iggy Pop cover himself in peanut butter, dive through a sheet of glass, roll around in the shards and then stage dive into the crowd. Good times.

Just for grins, to see who remembers these guys (or Spencer the video producer)...
