Watching my friend and then business partner collapse profoundly at the start of Radiohead's gig at Glastonbury a couple of years ago. Can't quite recall what he'd done (something along the lines of Mushrooms, Nitrous, Weed and Alcohol), but we'd both just gotten there, to the single event we'd really been looking forward to, I'd passed him a joint and then - wheeeee... I saw him fall, through 90 degrees (his legs stayed straight) straight down, into the people in front, then down into the mud.
The look of panic on their faces was really funny - he really did look quite dead. My having to spend the next 20 minutes helping him off the field, as he slid/crawled away, wasn't quite so amusing. Well, it was - but I did miss the start of The Single Best Live Music Event I've Ever Witnessed. God, Radiohead were good.
That, or getting surrounded by 6 police officers as I waved a large 'Fresh Magic Mushrooms' sign a the same festival.
