    The Mars Volta / Les Savy Fav @ Manchester Uni about 8 years ago. TMV's first UK tour, in support of Les Savy Fav. With original line-up inc female bassist and the (now) dead dude. Tiny venue, no security, knees against the edge of the stage, about a foot from the band. Singers of both bands in the crowd, dancing on the bar etc.

    Dude from Les Savy Fav ended up tying up a photographer with his mic lead, stealing photographer's camera, then taking shitloads of photos of the dude while he was tied up. All 3 bands ended up on the stage at the end of LSF's set, along with half the crowd.

    Joanna Newsom at the Sage a few years ago a close second.

    • Tim Harrington from LSF always turns the show in to an improv performance art comedy thing. tons of fun. music takes a backseat thooblib
    • backseat unfortunately though.oblib
