Edinburgh 99 was indeed a great show! I had a seated ticket high up and then a friend suggested we try to get in general admission... so my friend told them we had left something at the B and B, and I just walked past the security. So when they did the b stage songs I was very close..
Brilliant show .... Route 66 and like a rolling stone.. oh yes and the ticket was 30£
It was indeed £30 + fees for all tickets, including the floor. And several thousand short of a sellout too. Security was close to non-existent. There were few if any bag checks and people were easily getting in with glass bottles of spirits and beer, which were rolling around on the floor under our feet up front when the band charged on with JJF and the crowd went mental. The wild crowd seemed to give Mick extra inspiration, which fed back into the crowd again. As you would expect, the usual assortment of arsehole latecomers charged their way right through to the front mob handed, behaving menacingly towards anyone who dared to challenge them. Nonetheless, still glad I went and an especially memorable show.
