I could write a book.....
memorable moments are:

Laughing my nuts off at the guitar tech who had been tuning a local bands guitars for half of a gig with a faulty tuner (and laughing more loudly coz they were blaming the sound guys)

staring blankly at the horrendous rider and spec sheet that girls aloud had sent our promoter for a 20 minute "set" that had a backing CD and 3 live mics, and laughing when they cancelled at the last minute and where replaced by liberty X

sitting in a vip room in derry at an Alex P and brandon block gig, and getting rat arsed on free booze coz my mate told the muppets I was blocky... and even blocky was in on it...

watching a saw docters gig in bandit country when they had a full 25k rig and 50 people turned up (fair play they did thier set anyway)

getting an eyefull when Ultrasonics dancers got changed beside the stage (using me as a shield)

using my band pass and triple A's to get into/out of clubs even when i was not actually working

watching the bottles and glasses fall off bar shelves when we kicked the 40k rig into life (after warning the promoter 3 times not to put the bar close to the stage)

and many others that will stay in memory as to publish them may result in serious legal problems. (clue: certain big name DJ's with major drug/drink habits and who use tapes and backing cd's at all thier gigs, as they can't work the decks coz they are usually stoned/drunk/wasted)

btw... its true what they say, the groupies will do almost anything to get at the lead singer... and you will have to pay them to have a go at the drummer... :-)
