They didn't do any damage or any kind of trouble, they just left right after the rioting started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan H. Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Why did he not show, Alice would be the last person I'd expect to pull that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCG Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Why did he not show, Alice would be the last person I'd expect to pull thatThe first video has audio of Alice speaking about it. I can't remember the term he used, but it seems he had something like an asthma attack (something which he hadn't suffered since he was 6 years old - if I remember correctly). He said before it happened he was ready to go on stage, but because of it he was unable to walk, so the concert had to be canceled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tat2d1 Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 If anybody's interested someone has been kind enough to upload a ton of old Alice shows on mininova. Some are soundboards. I'm in the process of downloading a soundboard from Glasgow, the last show of the Special Forces tour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
