I never saw them, and saw EVERYONE else. How was concert, I am still in shock they played. Jimmy hand ok I guess now. I am serious would love to hear all about concert. GREG is awesome, because that is a joy to watch a TRUE FAN. I waited 15 years before I saw Bowie because I HAD to go with someone who would appreciate him. Is it really possible they could do a world tour?? This is first time EVER on a...........dont know what this is called...lol--blog/forum??

Cactus Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Oh man I knew I should have just showed up and found a scalper....would have cost me AU$3000 just to get to London, but it would have been worth it. I'm listening to a boot from someone in pretty crappy seats and some parts of the recording are better sounding than original TSRTS. They really nailed this show didn't they.....wow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spotondrums Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Great story,...you got super lucky!!! I was gonna go down to the O2 and try and bum my way in too but the thought of not getting a ticket and actually be standing outside the venue would have been far too painful!!!

nathanielvera Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 That is an amazing story my friend. I was there having won a ticket in the ballot but feel this is a much better way of getting the ticket. This story will be with you forever.

Tawny Paul Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 I was stood beside someone who had the card sign ripped from round their neck by a dumb-ass security guy. When I asked why, I was ordered off the O2 site! Not that I was gone for long. I couldn't get in though. You're a lucky guy, nice one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
