Some are planned. Some are spontaneous. Some signify to the band when to end the song. A well timed leap can always add excitement and surprise to shows. In honor of leap day, I give you a few photos and videos of some memorable rock star leaps.
Pete Townshend of The Who leaps
The Beatles take off
David Lee Roth jumps
Bruce Springsteen in a trademark leap to end a song
Eddie Vedder falling rather than leaping into the audience
And what’s a leap day like without a game of leap frog? Ask One Direction.
Kurt Cobain leaps into the drumset
Let’s end this with a montage of some of Kurt Cobain’s best/worst leaps
Happy Leap Day!
