I remember him also had a tamborine. He came to a couple of our gigs. He was a regular in the late 70's early eighties. He used to show up at the roundhouse punk/reggae gigs on a sunday night.
This is not him but may be related - from Glastonbury (Where else!) (picture NSFW)

I read somewhere that his dad got fed up with footing the bill for his gig going lifestyle, and made him get a proper job. (Saviour of mankind, I think.)

As for Wally - he got his hair cut, bought a stripey jumper and launched a book franchise based upon being spotted in any number of different crowds.

maybe it's not the same guy, but I remember doing a gig in Bath with Chaos UK and Disorder, must be around 1982 or '83, and the place was attacked by skinheads as we were playing.
There was mayhem in the crowd but all I remember is Jesus in a white smock, long hair and beard and little Lennon glassed prancing around with a tambourine, out of his head seemingly oblivious to the violence all around him.

In fact he was still dancing as I fled the building clutching my bass and ducking chairs - never forgot him!

Ally Pally by the look of it.

The Floyd at Knebworth,starkers,carrying a large paper flower.Those were the days eh.

October 1975. He had his tambourine with him. Just one of the things that fraked me out that night.

But I regularly see Sun Ra walking around Birmingham, zig-zagging across the pavement, stopping randomly, talking to himself.

In the summer of 1983, my mate Charlie and I found ourselves in Cardiff with not much to do whilst we waited for the night train to Fishguard (we were heading for Eire). The choice on offer was to either go to the pub, watch a dirty movie at the fleapit cinema or watch a musical production of the Mabinogi in the grounds of Cardiff Castle. Being a bit skint, we noticed we'd see most of the production if we stood outside the castle grounds in the park and looked through the railings. As this was a cost-free option, this is what we decided to do.

As the show got underway, rendered unfathomable by the distance and the inability to hear the PA, we were joined by an assortment of oddballs, including a couple of glue-sniffing boys who were sniffing from a large brown paper bag, various drunkards and winos, and Jesus on a bicycle(!) with a gorgeous hippy chick in tow.

This guy looked the part - the robe, the long hair and beard and the.......Jesus boots. I didn't know Jesus smoked marijuana either, but he did. He really got quite stoned and, as the show reached its climax, shouted out (in a Californian accent), "Rock and roll, Woodstock, man!!!" He then tried to vault the six foot spiked iron fence and got stuck on the top. At this stage, I kind of guessed he wasn't the Messiah, just a very naughty boy....

He seemed to be everywhere and one of the most vivid recollections I have of the free Queen gig in Hyde Park 1976 (apart for the violence) was the sight of Jesus dancing up the front with a vacuum cleaner hose.

He was definitely a strange boy and I get the feeling that he wasn't one destined for old age. Curiously enough, he was at a National Flag gig at the old Marquee in Wardour Street and one of my friends asked him how he managed to afford to go to so many gigs (he said he was out every night), and he told us that he worked as a hospital porter. We also asked him what his name was, and in true acid-fried hippy fashion he told us that he didn't believe in labels like names. (Now I come to mentally visualise him, I seem to recall thinking that he was probably much older than he looked).

The first time I became aware of his popular monicker was at the Albert Hall with Italian proggers PFM. We were hanging around after the end of the show, and he tried to get on the stage only to be physically thrown off by an Italian roadie. He went truly fucking mental. "NO-ONE FUCKING TOUCHES ME, MAN! I"M JESUS!" I can remember him physically shaking with rage. And it all went very quiet, and the people that were there looked truly sorry for him. Except for the Italian roadie, who looked as though he couldn't have given a toss, and had probably written him off as a burned-out freak. Draw your own conclusions.

Wasn't he another eccentric gig-fixture. He made a single with The Damned (well three of them) in 1980

and my two pals at the Tubes gig at Hammersmith Odeon in 1976 or 1977. Being rubes from the sticks we were way too early and chatted to him - so he would have been early too. He had all sorts of percussion instruments in one of those ex-military canvas bags. He did seem ubiquitous at the time, but that was the closest I ever got.

that he was at a lot of early Elton John gigs.

Is that the guy?

When I just scanned down the list of hot topics, I was tickled by two consecutive ones which went:

Jesus
...Plus support act

Jesus was way cool
Everybody liked Jesus
Everybody wanted to hang out with him
Anything he wanted to do, he did
He turned water into wine
And if he wanted to
He could have turned wheat into marijuana
Or sugar into cocaine
Or vitamin pills into amphetamines

He walked on the water
And swam on the land
He would tell these stories
And people would listen
He was really cool

If you were blind or lame
You just went to Jesus
And he would put his hands on you
And you would be healed
That's so cool

He could've played guitar better than Hendrix
He could've told the future
He could've baked the most delicious cake in the world
He could've scored more goals than Wayne Gretzky
He could've danced better than Barishnikov
Jesus could have been funnier than any comedian you can think of
Jesus was way cool

He told people to eat his body and drink his blood
That's so cool
Jesus was so cool
But then some people got jealous of how cool he was
So they killed him
But then he rose from the dead
He rose from the dead, danced around
Then went up to heaven
I mean, that's so cool
Jesus was way cool

No wonder there are so many Christians

The girls would love his hair.
