What have all the gig goers caught at gigs?

I got a drumstick of Nick Menza of Megadeth in the Point in 91..

A setlist /pleck/drumstick from members of Staind from their gig in the Ambassador in 96 (?)

Elton John's jacket!



OK not the whole jacket. Was at Leeds Queens Hall and had smuggled the camera in, so was busy snapping away when he took his yellow jacket off and threw it into the crowd



It landed in the crowd alongside me. Everyone was grabbing pieces but I was more concerned to protect the camera. Fortunately the guy standing next to me handed a piece of the lining over. Probably about 7cm x 2cm. I took it home and put it away somewhere safe. 32 years later I'm sure it's still safe, but after 6 house moves I am not entirely sure where....

Think he was posing for me:pac:

The only thing I've caught thus far is a flower that was one of a handful thrown by Cat Power to the crowd after her gig in the Olympia Theatre a couple of years ago. I'm not sure what kind of flower it was, I'm not much of a flora expert.

Anyway I brought it home, dried it and pressed it in a book. It's still there because I'm afraid it will just fall to shreds if I go anywhere near it! :pac: Should probably laminate it or something.

One of my mates got James Hetfields pleck from their gig in the Point in 92/93 ? But, it 'dissapeared' on the way home on the bus !!
