Listening to this show in full is pretty weird... according to Listessa, Bernadette O'Brien was crushed during Zero and never recovered. really weird knowing that considering how many more songs they play without having any idea about the chaos backstage. they only found out at the encore break. this recording of MCIS is heartbreaking.

"When the band did come on the crowd went half crazy..it was pretty rough
but not moshing more so much pushing that you couldn't breath..they were
a lot of crowdsurfers too(later on in the concert billy got so fed up with
the crowdsurfers hurting people that he said that if the security caught
anyone coming over the top that they should be fucked outside)..
the first two songs were pretty rough but when Zero came on the place went
crazy..the surge from behind was incredible..half way through the song
myself and about 50 others fell down straight in front of the stage
and the thing was that people weren't giving us hand up and they way
we had fallen its impossible to get up unless you can get someone to
give you a hand..I was on top of a girl myself but I couldn't get up cause
just no-one was giving me a hand or anything..and while all these
people were down the crowd surfers kept jumping in on top of us..
this is when the girl was crushed..she was unable to breath for two minutes
and was pronouced brain dead by the time the ambulance came back stage
Billy stopped after they saw what was happening in that song..
If he had known then what had happened to the girl the concert would have
stopped there completly...but they stopped for a long time to let the
people get out and I myself couldn't stay there and I didn't feel safe for
my girlfriend either..I mean I went to the concert to listen to the music not
to hurt somebody..the concert continued on and the pumpkins did play well
.there was a lot of crowd surfing and it was sorta heavy but not too bad
until BWBW which made almost everybody go crazy..
The pumpkins went off after cherub rock and normally they come back on after
that song for the encore..when they came on with no instruments I knew
something was wrong and then billy informed us that a girl was seriously
hurt back stage and that they couldn't continue and how they were so freaked
out..billy was sorta crying on the drum kit then and all the band were really
upset..James had said earlier that night "It's only a rock concert its not
worth dying over"..D'arcy was freaked out by people shouting and smiling at
them to play more as theu hadn't got there moneys worth.."
