We have carried out a survey for `giant pulses' in 5 millisecond pulsars. We detect individual pulses from the high Edot pulsar PSR B1821-24 with energies exceeding 50x the mean pulse energy. These giant pulses are concentrated in a narrow phase window coincident with the power-law non-thermal pulse seen in hard X-rays. This is the third example of the giant pulse phenomenon. It supports the idea that large B fields in the outer magnetosphere are critical to the formation of such pulses and further suggests a direct connection between giant pulses and high energy emission.
