>>I was on tour with a band in the mid '80's. On the last night at the Albert Hall one of the guitarsts (who was quite shy and humble) stepped up stage front for his only solo and the roadies lowered a Spinal Tap sized Stonehenge from the lighting rig behind him. The whole audience were on their feet, clapping and cheering. Poor guy couldn't work out why he was getting such an ecstatic reception (until he turned round) :-}

TGA is one weird syndrome. Happened to a friend of mine a couple of years ago - only lasted an hour or so but his description of how it felt was fascinating. Good news is that it very rarely re-occurs....
