Entertainment music festivals waste management

Concert cleanup crew members are sharing the worst things they’ve found after a show, and maybe we should all just listen at home

I saw an interview with the couple who are wrapped in a quilt on the cover of the “Woodstock” album; they were newly dating at the time and married a couple years later. The wife said that the picture didn’t reflect the smell: “Beer, pot, urine, vomit….” and the husband replied, “especially vomit!”

Litter picking in Glastonbury 1995.

Dude next to me found a ciggie packet with some mdma, acid tabs, charras and about a thousand pounds.

He yelled ‘I quit! I quit! Fuck you all’

I couldn’t blame him

Well not a cleanup person but guess you could consider this show treasure … I was the lighting man for Aerosmith on the back of the saddle tour after they regrouped. As we were doing the show I watched a guy way over by the right stack of speakers he was drunk as hell and he was laying in mud. About 3/4 of the way through the show, I watched him get up look around and crawl into a base bin speaker of the right speaker stack.

I figured you wouldn’t last too long in there but I never saw him come out. When the show ended I had to be sure he was out of there before we started ripping stuff down so I crawled in the basement and sure enough he was still in there I went in to drag him out and as soon as I was inside with him somebody kicked over a guitar or something on stage which made a large thump and immediately I was covered with nothing but vomit he had vomited all over the speaker itself.

To this day I still have a 60 cycle hum in my right ear.

I found an ounce of mushrooms in Highgate after a Grateful Dead show. I also found a fully loaded Neo Jukebox in the very early 2000s. I don’t remember what show it was, but that thing had so much bad ass music on it. I found federal police hiding in the trees in Chicago ’95, Grateful Dead lot. Yeeeeow. I had a lot of fun in life.
