Memphis 1989: a chain from one of the riggings fell from the ceiling narrowly missing Jon, but no one was hurt.
Jackson 1989: someone threw a glass bottle and hit Jon in the stomach. He wasn't seriously hurt, but it looked like it hit him pretty hard and they stopped the show for a few minutes.
I don't remember where, but Richie walked into a piece of equipment and got a gash on his head.
There was a power outage at one of the early shows and Jon got his acoustic and played anyway.
A water main broke at Foxboro, MA last year and one section of the stadium had to be evacuated and there was a flood backstage too.
There were riots in Guadalajara, Mexico in 1990.
There was a riot/crush at Groten, CT in 1993 and some fans had to get medical attention.
Jon's talked about there being bomb threats at shows too, but the authorities have always managed to secure the places prior to the show.
