We were trying to spot you in the Def Leppard/Journey crowd but it was an impossible task. I'm assuming you arrived in time to get to the gig??

 

[CharleyUK]

Hi Night-train

We were trying to spot you too. Found the gig real easy -parked in the multi-story just opposite the box office and managed to get back to the HRH in about 25mins at the end. Rearly enjoyed def Leppard and seeing how a US audience enjoy themselves. Not sure about Journey though

Green Day are my favourite live band, Electric Six are great for dancing to all night long, and the first time I saw the Foo Fighters I cried non stop for the whole first half of the set as Dave Grohl has been my hero since I was 14.
