I was there Friday night and it was a total clusterf#*k. They had signs at some gates saying 'Credit Card Entry' but not for GA floor - so some people waited an hour in the wrong line. There was only one entrance for GA and there were actually 2 lines merging at one place. One line moved much faster than the other, so I was lucky to get in in about 35 min, while others waited 2+ hours.

Only seen them 3 times but... 1) Front Row - Vancouver 2006. 'Nuff said. 2) Prime seating - Montreal 1989 was supposed to be at back of floor, but we snaked 2 wicked stand seats just before showtime and nobody ever claimed them. 3) Pit (off to the side) - Desert Trip #2 - was actually physically closer to them when they came out side stage, than Vancouver, because the stage was low

I worked as an extra last year on Pirates V, and while everyone was abuzz about McCartney coming to the set (They didn't call me for that day - sigh), I heard no mention of Keith or any scenes involving him. I did get to do a scene with Johnny D, a monkey, and a mule, though.

I think Wembley '82 was when Keith said (in his book - or maybe it was Ronnie's) that he f#%ked up the intro to 'She's So Cold', and Ronnie failed to cover for him, so Keith went over and punched him. Too bad it doesn't show up on the video. (Too many close-ups - mostly of Mick)

Most of these can be downloaded from private and public torrent sites (I have most of them), in the best quality - and are available in lesser quality on YouTube. This guy's selling burned copies with fancy labels. Not cool.

Why would he be banned, after fulfilling all the conditions of his sentence? He was sentenced in '79 and couldn't apply for a work visa or entry waiver until '84.

Selvin's Altamont book paints a good time line of before-to-after the event and tries to be accurate without too much speculation.
