It's not too strong, you would expect at least that. I'm not bothered for LP at this point really, it's just not the same deal. I actually don't even know if I'd go and see it now as I feel I'm almost going to just see Mike get a group together to cover their songs. 

'no reason' - Seriously mate they've been one of the biggest metal bands for 30 years now and have a huge fan base. Sold out nearly 40K tickets touring the UK this year well before the gigs were played. Have one of the most recognised setlists in the entirety of hard rock and metal.  Yes. Not to the extent of bands like Metallica or Green Day. But they headline alot in North America and Europe, and do the occasional elsewhere. Well for one they pulled a bigger crowd than the headliner in 2022.    They've released another well received album and done a very successful 30 year celebration tour that sold out well before the gigs. 

Ahhh happy memories! I always take my kids from toddlers in 2002 to adults now…mud and all. But it was a lot less crowded then and I think a lot more easy going. You would definitely not want to be getting in the heaving crowds leaving big sets these days. But my lot have had their minds enriched by the experiences they have had, so wouldn’t have missed it for the world. It’s not just about managing to get them around, it is a huge learning experience for them.

The memories are fantastic and you will be getting a double dose of seeing the ones you love discover it as well.  I would say that with v. Young children that you should make sure that one of you is sober at all times- just in case.  You can either do this equitably by drawing up a rota or have a race to see who hits the alcohol/substance of choice first in the morning
