Patrick Harrigan, who was visiting from Chicago, was standing on the sidewalk when the glass shattered on him.
“I was standing here with another couple waiting to get in and give my ID to the bouncer and all of a sudden ‘crash’ and the drummer fell out right on top of us and [there was] broken glass everywhere,” Harrigan explained to WKRN.
Not only did Saxton finish his set inside the bar, he also went across the street and played another four hours.
“I was thinking the show must go on, I’ve got a job to do.” said Saxon.
Video of the incident on YouTube has has racked up tens of thousands of views since being posted Friday.
