No big deal in itself but a small group on the right started to be quite heavily drunk and badly behaved like making LOUD phone calls while the band played.

Hate stuff like this. Couldn't believe it when I read this:

You think thats bad.  I went to the Athens gig in 2008 and MK lost the plot.  He was furious with the video cameras, so much so, he changed the words during why aye man to "I'm a wanker i dont care, yeah you know who you are" whilst pointing to someone in the crowd.  I couldn't believe it and it kind of spoilt the rest of the gig for me as I was on edge.  He said a few other things during Cannibals but cant remember them.  I've tried to find a bootleg of it but cant.  It would be well worth a listen to hear what he says to the crowd.  It was a bit of a sausage moment I think.

Ah man, that's too bad. Yes, people should have respected his rule but it was crazy that he got so obsessed by it.  :-\

Sorry to be OT. Just two weeks ago I had to watch P.S. I love you, and there in that movie it is an important song - and I must admit the whole scene
really gave me goosebumps...


LOL, you "had to watch it"  ;D

Sorry now I'm OT too but I just liked the way you put it  :)

Did you try Youtube? It would be strange to find the video with Mark pointing at you...

About bad audience behaviour the 1977 Pink Floyd "In The Flesh " Tour is quite notorious. The show at Oackland when Roger had to interrupt "POTW" due to fireworks, or the last show ot the tour given at Montr

By coincidence, I found this description on JvT's "On Every Bootleg"-site, and it made me think of this "Bad moments" thread immediately ;D.
So I copied it (if that's ok).  It is from the description of the "Sultans of Portland 1985" recording. Never heard about this incident before.   

   
 Money for nothing was stopped during the intro of the song because somebody in the audience threw a wet T-shirt on Mark Knopfler, who said something that made this person feel like a fool: "Whoever threw a wet T-Shirt, alright everybody sheer 'a jerk'. One, two three: "You're a jerk!". Thank you, now you've got 15.000 people who think you're a complete jerk!".

Love Expresso,

I recently listened to that bootleg. that "jerk" deserved it really.  It wasn't a bad moment for MK maybe for that 'jerk"  He probably got offended with the word "faggot" in MFN.  It was actually a pretty cool listening.

It's from the "Portland 1985 recording" You can find it from the tracker.   A really cool listening.  I kept going back to it just to hear something you don't normally hear at a concert.

It's Portland 07.10.85.  Remember they went back in October in '85 perhaps due to popular demand or venue availability, I don't know?
