Is it yellow? I was at that concert and also lost a yellow jacket during that decade
God, back in the days when ticket prices weren’t obscene
£56 total if bought today, holy moly.
I know inflation and all that, but given what a notoriously over-produced stage show that tour had, and almost certainly had a huge roadcrew, it does somewhat suggest that a lot of your big ticket artists are taking the piss in 2025.
This also reminds me that I found a spookily perfectly preserved ticket to Erasure at the King’s Hall in 1990 on the street one morning in the early 2010s. Properly pristine, which made me sad thinking it had somehow fallen out of someone’s little ticket folder.
Saw that gig through the hole in the wall
Listened to it lying in the bath on Tate’s Ave.
“… as I wish to inform the wearer that he has a 27 year-old son.”
First concert I ever went to. Great gig
I was at that one. Very near the front. I spent a lot it of futilely trying to get off with red headed girl from Buncrana.
Give it a few years and they’ll be playing a celebration gig in Gaza to a select audience of the rich
The good old days before Ticketmaster owned the planet.
I was at that gig. I was working the evening shift in the Spar on University Avenue… but the bosses who were at the gig told us to lock up and go to the gig!
So we locked up, went to the flat, got changed, sank a tin of beer, and got to the gig.
I have to say, the gig was better than working in a shop the customers for which were all already in the crowd!
I was at that. First concert, think I was about 14. At one stage some people fell and there was a massive fall/crush. I’ll never forget people running over other people to try and escape. It sorted itself out fairly quickly and I don’t remember any news about it so hopefully everyone was ok.
The first gig i worked at helping with speakers and stage setup.. hate u2 but loved the gig!
Not a huge U2 fan but I was at that gig. Have to say it was a bloody brilliant gig.

I think that jacket might belong to Marty McFly.
Reminded me that I still have this
