According to eyewitness reports, "Bush jumped down in the crowd and was instantly mobbed, but apparently some guy had been flipping him off, and Bush was pissed when he got back onstage, yelling at the guy and telling him he was going to kick his ass. I hadn't seen the beginning of what happened so I wasn't sure what had happened at the time (Bush later told everyone why he was pissed) but I knew the shit was real when Charlie came out from behind the kit ready to kick ass. Frankie already had his bass off and looked like he was ready to jump into the shit when some guys in the crowd grabbed the guy and threw him on the floor right in front of me." Eventually the source of the problem was removed by security and band resumed their set, but not before Bush voiced his extreme displeasure at the preceding events in the form of an obscenity-laden rant. The rest of the show reportedly went off without incident.
