I remember it as slam dancing too. In fact, the very word "moshing"
really bends my spine! But what fun it was. Long live the Ramones. I
gotta go find a cd to spin while I work.
peace!

: Okay, I'm going to date myself here. Back when I first started
: paying attention to music and getting interested in going to
: concerts, I fell in love with the Ramones (one of the greatest punk
: bands ever; thier lead singer died right around the same time that
: Douglas Adams did). I got to see them 3 times, the first time
being
: when I was sixteen. Back then, the mosh pit didn't have a name -
it
: was just the huge mass of people slam dancing (that's what we
called
: it) in front of the stage. It's a wild place, and not one for a
girl
: who needs her glasses to see . . .
:
: The mosh pit is still around, and you'll see it when a lot of
: alternative bands play. The one at the Nine Inch Nails concert I
: went to far too long ago (NIN opened for David Bowie, which was
kinda
: strange, but I liked it a lot) was frightening. We sat far away
fron
: the stage, but could see the mass of moving bodies in the area in
: front of the stage - it reminded me a lot of things from Lord of
the
: Rings and Tailchaser's Song - really kinda creepy and energetic and
: alluring. Occassionally, the evening "news magazines" will do a
: piece on how dangerous the mosh pit is (and it's companions, stage
: diving and body surfing) - a lot of people have been hurt in the
pit.
