"I guess the concerts that we did when we were there in Manila. They were amazing. I remember a big square outside and we had a dresser, like a tented village at the back and I think there — I think there’s a McDonald’s outside and someone threw a burger onstage --yeah, someone threw a hamburger onstage at one time."
