Was this perhaps the Limelight show in NYC???  I saw six shows from the Spirit
of the Age tour (April '95) and he was definitely the 'looniest' at that
particular one.  Other shows he was much more 'subdued', and others were sort
of intermediate.  Some shows he spent more time on stage than others...I guess
it depended on whether or not he felt he had anything to offer to the
performance at that particular moment.  In NYC, he felt he had a lot to offer,
so he was out there most of the show.....that whole scene there was weird,
including the whole 'off-topic' scene going on.
