Rock City, Nottingham 1984

After the Doktor throws a spaz:
von: "we have to attend to our machinery..."
crowd: >various abuse<
Adams (in increasing vocal pitch and agitation without taking a breath): "listen you can get these songs the wrong way and you can get these songs the right way if you wait ten minutes we can get them the right way so i suggest you shut up for a while and talk amongst your selves!
hilarious.

[eastmidswhizzkid]

in fact thats a highly quotable gig all over.

(presumably in response to someone doing the "wanker" hand gesture):
"A right hand is a horrible thing to lose my man... i suggest you withdraw yours."

"i'm not anorexic alright i'm just compact."

(during an overlong guitar-tuning session between songs:)
"what i want to now is: if i can sing so blissfully out of tune why you guys cant just play out of tune? >aside to audience< one of them just does actually..."
