Own Thoughts
Great atmosphere, everyone chatting away, making friends-God only knows how many addresses/E Mails/tel no's I've got. You could go to the loo/for a burger and walk straight back to the place you'd left, no problem.
People like Snoop the dog or whoever he was weren't for the old fogies like me, so it was a chance to chat to people and take the whole thing in. Most people seemed to do that, listened and reacted to the bands and performers they liked, took time out and chilled when it was someone they didn't really want to listen to.
Pink Floyd topped it all for me, and to see Roger back with them, that was brilliant-a world tour surely beckons? Good also to see the younger concert goers around me taking note of them and saying positive things about them!
The Who were better than I thought they would be, though its hard to see them as being angry any
more!
I think Velvet Revolver puzzled most of the audience, including me! Their lead singer seems to ape Freddie Mercury most of the time and it was like being at Castle Donington, but without a Castle Donington audience!
Peter Kaye, sorry, what the bloody hell was that all about?
Maria Carey seemed to be on automatic pilot, loads of people went off for a pee or for something to eat when she came on!
Robbie Williams, you can't take him seriously, he is a cocky so and so, but he knows how to entertain.
Finally, respect to the bloke standing next to me who said "who's that?" when David Beckham came on the stage and then added, "...oh, its Brad Pitt isn't it?"
