Playing on the back of a truck at the D Day street festival. Hard times made me sell that Guild Starfire... wish I still had it.

It still pains me every day even after 10 years that I don't have my lovely Crestwood semi-acoustic that some scumbag stole from me. Guitars are like lovers - I spent so much time with it on tour, gigging, recording, travelling, rehearsing - and when it was taken away, it hurt badly.
Wow, I was on tour and did some shows in Amsterdam in '89 with my band The Detonators. What was your band? Ever heard of a venue/squat called Van Hall there?
The band was Switchblade. We only played two shows on that trip, this one and the Cruise Inn. Don't remember Van Hall... don't remember much.
Except! Our roadie Chalkie getting a blowjob under the stage while we played at the Inn, and Dutch girls coming up after the show saying 'Would you like to fuck?' in beautiful, polite English.
And! A ruse for beating the sniffer dogs: crumble the dope up with Ritz cheese crackers and scatter over the floor of the van.
