Back in the day, I often played a place named Rush Up, on Rush Street in Chicago. Getting in was like climbing a ladder. 25-30 stairs going straight up. Then when you finally got your stuff up there, the stage was suspended between two floors. These were also the days of B3's and SVT's.

I had an Ampeg VT22 with EV's that felt like it was bolted to the floor. I finally muscled it up to 2 stairs from top and lost it. It tumbled end over end, down the stairs, crashing into a wall at street level, and the manager garnished our pay to fix a hole in the wall it made. Amp was trashed.

Any other similar horror stories out there?
