Okay.  I gave it a try.  He says in that first message that he wasn't really 
close enough to see what happened, and only heard later about Pete clubbing 
Hoffman with the guitar.  It sounds like Pete hit him hard enough to make 
him go "flying," whether with the guitar or by running into him or whatever. 
  I'll ask who "bodily" removed him, too.  That would be interesting.

I don't recall hearing a "plop" sound of him hitting the stage in the audio, 
but I do recall the "scuffle" sounds that made it seem he was bodily 
removed.  Brian, was that you who got it out and listened?
