I guess this is a spinoff of sorts from walkonby's thread since a gross enough substance could lead to a shitty show experience.
At roughly the midpoint of the Alan/Richard Bishop Sun City Girls/Charles Gocher tribute show at the BC in june, Alan Bishop put his hand in a box, pulled out a handful of something and sprinkled it on the crowd. Some of it hit me in the face/got into my hair. Turned out it was the ashes of Charles Gocher; SCG's late drummer. Finding out I had just been hit with charred human flesh did shock/horrify me for a few minutes as I frantically made sure I had brushed it all off but it wasn't enough to ruin a fun and awesome show filled with some of SCG's best and most twistedly hilarious material.

How is anyone supposed to top this. Really.

hit the clarendon grill about 2 years ago with two buddies. we had been in the joint for all of sixty seconds before some chick projectile-vomits on my friend's back. she didn't even apologize, she just ran off to the bathroom. i got a little splatter, he got the direct hit. the look on his face was indescribable - disbelief, indignation, disgust, shock. he ripped off his shirt on the spot, threw it in the trash and walked out. that was all i needed to see of the place, but buddy#2 kept trying to convince us that "it wasn't so bad, give the place a chance". our night was over. being driven home by a topless dude to my place off dupont made me feel a little weird :eek:
still not as disturbing as azahal's story.

Someone here had to have seen GG Allin.
I'd put poop a few notches above ashes.

The guy from the Legendary Shack Shakers routinely sticks his hand down his pants, rips out his pubic hair, and throws it at the crowd.
Fortunately I was not near the stage either time I saw them.

I saw GG. No poop, but did get some of his sweat on me.

a drunk lady pooped her pants at a Nick Cave show and my friends were behind the lady...the rest is history :D

a big marilyn manson loogey on the back of my neck while working the barricade of his show last year in Baltimore.
that was pretty nasty.

In 1998 I was at a punk concert in northern Chile. For reasons I dont understand, the crowd at punk/heavy metal concerts shows its respect to the band by spitting on them (there have been epic "spit battles" between Mike Patton and the Chilean crowd for that matter). The thing is that I really liked this band Fiskales Ad Hoc, and I secured my spot really near the stage before the show, without knowing that a few minutes later I would be right under a rain of spitting. It was awful, but the concert was great anyway...

I saw the singer for the Dears puking in a stall at the Black Cat whilst complaining of food poisoning. True story. He didn't get any on me, so technically I guess it's pretty lame compared to some of the above stories.

Andre Williams (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andre_Williams) flashed in front of me during a concert...it was not a pretty sight. He opened for JSBX.
-
and here, nobody has mentioned gwar yet? tsk, tsk.
-
gwar is just dyed water.
though, that makes me think.
I went to a couple Skinny Puppy shows in high school and they had some weird shit thrown out there. i think it was just fake blood and stuffed animals though.
-
holy shit!, that is fucking awesome azaghal1981. i don't remember them mentioning the dusty material as being his ashes. i would've gladly taken your place.
awesome show though. deff in my top 10 of the year.
-
the only substance to have been thrown on me that slightly (just barely) pissed me off was the bottle of red wine the lead from les savy fav was poring on the audience.
-
No one's gotten semen on them at a concert? Really?
No drunken bathroom hookups, ladies?

Oh man, and I bet the venue had no detergent or salt water either to get the stain out. That would PISS me off depending on how fabulously I was dressed.

They tossed a bit of him out at every stop on the tour according to reviews of other shows I've read. Totally fitting way to dispose of his body given his morbid sense of humor; wouldn't be surprised if it was his idea.
The show is in my top 10 of the year as well.
The "Uncle Jim" bit had me laughing harder than I've ever laughed at a show.
Edit: And they never came out and said it was his ashes. I just sort of put 2 & 2 together. The next day, I did some googling and found out that
I had surmised correctly. (http://www.indyish.com/suoni-review-brothers-unconnected-a-tribute-to-the-music-of-the-sun-city-girls)

azaghal, it would have been better if it landed on your lip and you tasted it :D
-
off the top of my head, in no particular order, all belonging to other people, and most more often that you would want:
sweat, tears, blood, spit, snot, vomit, semen, urine, feces, sweaty balls on the back of my neck, pig flesh, raw chicken, fried chicken, used tampon.
i'm sure i missed some, but the worst thing that i get on me on a regular basis at shows? glitter. can't get the damn stuff off. everything else washes off.
-
I'm thankful I wasn't inhaling at the time.
Accidental cannibalism would've sent me into a vomitting fit right then and there.

i think he was attempting to see if anybody got the metaphor. he's shitty.

Has anyone ever seen Crash Worship? They have people going around dousing people with all kinds of weird stuff.
It seems to have themes, one show was sticky sweet stuff, I got hit with pudding and whipped cream. Another show was some kind of oil or something.

They used to play Seattle/Portland all the time.
I was at several shows where people were covered in all kinds of strange.
Fruit, oil, meat...

Kayro Syrup, red food dye and some dirt (that was their secret ingredient). Got to watch them make it on the Too Dark Park tour.

OK, I remembered a good one.
When I was growing up in Michigan, there was a punk club called Sons and Daughters Hall that got some really good bands coming through.
One show was a band called Boom and the Legion of Doom. A guy in the band had a suitcase on stage with him and at some point he opened it and it contained pieces of a goat, which he threw into the crowd.
There were only about 15 people there that night, and about 10 years later when I was living in the San Francisco area I happened to meet one of the other audience members that night. It was a guy named Jason Kneuth who was a big supporter of Sonic Youth. He later killed himself and Sonic Youth made a record for him ("Silver Sessions for Jason Kneuth").
I also defintetly got some of Dave Yow's sweat and fart molecules on me as well at many Jesus Lizard shows.

i agree on the glitter thing. after seeing of montreal, i came out with shaving cream on me and glitter. the mix was horrible.

I had teenage boobs on my head, but that was a good day.
