Hi Mr Crawdaddy And that's how I recognised Mr Powderman, standing right next to me in the audience for the excellent Midnight Ramblers tribute act at the John Dee club the night before the gig ! I went to the actual gig itself with him too. Mr DP played a starring role all weekend, welcoming lots of visiting non Norwegians into his entourage, you and I included. I'll be at t

Wembley, Friday 24th August 1990. 2nd last night of the UJ tour, with, curiously, the Steel Wheels set. Still very fresh in my mind
Forum: Tell Me

Mine too DP! My 1st show was the 2nd last night of the whole tour at Wembley on 24th August 1990 when we got the Steel Wheels Stage instead. I thought it was going to be my 1st and last show ever. Look how that turned out! Still mulling over going to the U.S. tour but might hang on for South America in the Autumn instead. What I'd really like is for them to come back to the UK/Europe next

My friend's mum was there. They did 2 shows at the Sala Kongresowa the same day. I believe the Police had water cannon! I came to Poland for the fantastic BtB show at Chorzow on 14.8.98. I got one of those ancient buses from Warsaw to Chorzow that took 7 hours and the guy sitting next to me was at that 1967 show! Milo byc snowu w Polsce!!

I saw the Who for the 1st time in my life on Sunday night. I scooped a 5th row floor ticket from the official site, 9 days before the show. A wonderful evening's entertainment with some great banter between Rodge & Pete and with the audience.

QuoteGrison In Europe they had also the lucky dip tickets and despite the comment of Björnulf a lot of ticket agencies sold those for quite a long time after the concert has been called sold out. For Instance Oslo was open for about 10 days and Zurich even for more then two weeks in which you were able to get Tickets. I know that it did not work for other concerts as well. I can't recall

QuoteDoomandGloom QuoteRockinJive QuoteDoomandGloom They should announce this tour schedule on April 1st as it's an "April Fools" joke.
