Ross on the Stage913 زيارةAt the Manchester Opera House. Ross was first walked onto the stage with no props, set, etc. The cable attached to the harness around Ross' chest was designed to stop him from running and falling into (say) the orchestra pit. But, in the final analysis, he was incredibly well-behaved.
