100% agree – had never been to an athletics type event before, but had a night at the Alexander Stadium and was totally engrossed (including the mens and womens 100m, and womens 10,000 finals). The stadium looked […]

There’s an awful lot of smoking going on by everyone on the set, what with the fags and big cigars (a) the place must have rather smelt (a bit like your clothes after a night out at a gig or in the pub before t […]

Don’t think he played it at the 2019 Birmingham NEC Show – which was a shame

I was in the Vault last Sunday for the first time, it’s massive and carries so much stock on virtually everything and is all well spaced out. However, albeit it was a Sunday and we are still to fully get our s […]

Thank you!!

No worse or no better than any outdoor cavernous 90,000 seater stadium open to the elements – which I presume can be dodgy if you are in the very top tier. His voice is much rawer/shouty than it used to be, which […]

Love this thread, took in the Manchester, Coventry and Wembley shows and agree – unbelievable!!

As many have already pointed out, each show is so unique, you could see them all and never get tired.

Over […]

I’m well beat. Strange how some bands can be enjoyed but not revisited for decades, but others (I know I do/have) we will routinely go to see each and every time they come round with diminishing returns… One […]

Sat with my 14 yr old daughter, instead of her sort of moping about in her room on Twitter etc. I guess this is a bit like the old Eurovision gather round the TV for the next generation moment. Music not really my […]
