The venue had run out of cups but they decided to keep selling beer, but only be the pitcher. It was almost midnight by the time they came on. Beer jugs were flying everywhere. They’d be landing on the stage and Gord would be throwing them back. He snapped a couple mic stands that night, and they put on a pretty great show, to the best of my memory.

I was at this show too! one of the craziest concerts I've ever been to. by the end of the night it was freaking scary how drunk everyone was, along with those pitchers flying around. Likely the closest I've come to being at a full on riot at a concert.
