Must be a sports/stadium thing. The crowd was much more pleasant at Cardiff Castle last year.

But considering the way I am, I need to think of my safety first and the crowd was extremely difficult. There were moments where me and the friends around me were not able to move at all, we were all pushed hard. I could not fully enjoy the gig. RAH was also jumpy but we all had space to breath. Barriers were the safest, I can't imagine myself in the 2nd-3rd row. When the crowdsurfers came over, I simply dived in under the barriers to avoid being kicked in the face, like I once was. Last year on Blackheath I was in the 2nd row and the crowd was calmer, it was still open-air event. I agree it must be the stadium thing. Once more great thanks to the security guy who was checking on me regularly. Still it was fun to come and see the band enjoying themselves (plus Nicky's blue pants)

Didn't really notice any issues around me bar two VIP arsewipes who came running in for one song, they soon disappeared.
Thought the band were on song again, that's now twice in a row, enjoyed the latter set more than I did on the THB tour last year though maybe it was the album that came before. I'm English and generally and English fan but you can't help but chant the Hal Robson Kanuuuuu bit of that song. As for that trumpet player, fuck me he was hot. Anyone notice Jurgen Klopp lookalike as the guitar Tech.

What an amazing gig/overall experience! Loved every second. Also James walked past me when I was standing by the toilets which was surreal. I didn't even get composed enough to say hello.
Wish I was back there again now. Also welsh people are awesome. I didn't sing to the football song except shouted Scotland a few times but then found myself humming it for the rest of the weekend!! |

A few of my photos (although I didn't take too many during the second half due to not wanting to wreck my camera in the torrential rain!):

Thanks! Only this one, but because he was stood right in front of me, his face was obscured by his trumpet (so to speak)
Whilst Gavin is nice to look at, he's no Bradders so my focus and camera is still on him during gigs, sorry Last edited by Abstract Unknown Girl; 29-07-2017 at 14:16. |

That's fine thanks, the face may be obscured but the tight jeans more than enough make up for it

In the lead up to this gig I did a brief blog for the website of some of the important events over the '96-'97 period.
