I tried to get a Saturday ticket. But they had instantly sold out. Pre internet!

Atmosphere was electric. The Beatles were wobbling more than my nan after a sherry.

Was sitting on the pitch. Suddenly everyone stood up and surged forward. Before the first support band had come on!

Now 20 yards from the front, realised I would have to sink or swim with the crazy fans. Swimming was more fun.

Not a bad first concert to go to.

I expect better from the Mods. How many times does a thread need to be made on the same topic?

First the footer issue, now this!

God forbid An Tha doesn’t put down his drink and get out of the football thread!

God forbid Mpare gets off the Seinfeld gif creator!

God forbid Codeguy does something around here instead of yapping about every subject under the damn Sun!

Watching Champions League football. Sorry.

Let it be.

Spear of Destiny were the support band. Kirk said 'alright boys' to the nutters at the front.

The Pretenders were next. Chrissie Hynde kept looking down & shaking her head. Suspect it was because the fans at the front kept asking her to take her top off. Or words to that effect. Not me of course.

An Tha is enjoying retirement and has been for a little while now.

I am sure the lads will ask how high now you have shouted jump though!
I know you are here to kill me. Shoot, coward, you are only going to kill a man

Remember looking at security at the front after a couple of hours.

They all looked shell shocked. It certainly wasn't a Live Aid or Queen 86 audience in front of them.

Bono started making a speech half way through. Some fans started shouting 'boring'.

Bono said 'come on lads it's my night as well'.

A fan shouted out 'we had to pay to get in'.

Bono said 'fair enough'. Everyone laughed.
