Constant drizzle is just the most disheartening weather condition. I'd rather have a short torrential storm to just being constantly lightly rained on. I was at Knowsley Hall that weekend. It rained all through that too. The Who were also headlining. Do you think Daltrey or Townsend had a rain machine?

[TheBoyInTheBubble]

No kidding.

I remember seeing the Knowsley Hall quagmire on Granada...Im not going to see The Who again...not at an outdoor gig.

[Funkfarley]

I had to take the car to get cleaned on the Monday. I was stuck in the car park and had to be pulled out by tractor. Unfortunately, I forgot to put the window up when the bloke driving it started to pull. Mud was sent shooting through the gap. There was no way I was stopping on the way home. I looked like Papa Lazarou.

First gig - I honestly dont believe alot of people here - First gig the smiths - no-one is that cool
