1993
The Boys perform at the Equality Show at the London Palladium. (Months later, Chris will tell an interviewer that he was ‘excessively drunk’ at the time. ‘I wasn’t quite at the stage of throwing up in a bucket behind the monitors, but I was pretty close.’)

They’re in St. Louis, Missouri, for the first time. Perhaps indulging Chris’s interest in architecture, they play tourist at the St. Louis Arch. Then, in the evening, they perform their Fundamental show.
