It was Jon and he even waved as he passed literally a few yards from us.
Anyway, onto the concert and what can I say that hasn't been said already in various media. The whole night was absolutely terrific and the band are in absolutely devastating form. The peformance was full of energy and emotion and the crowd seemed to feed off of this. The setlist was not what some folk have described as basic by any means. I have seen the band 4 times now and let me tell you if they keep playing KTF and Bad Medicine at that standard then I will happily see them another 4 times and more. It was a pleasure for me and I am sure a lot of others to get to hear the proper version of Runaway. I had heard the stripped down version at Wembley a couple of years back and I yearned for the original. When David hit those opening lines I just went wild.
People say Jon's voice is going. Well if it is then I must be missing something as he sang brillantly last night. The scream on KTF and the extended notes on Bad Medicine were superb. Another highlight was again during Bad Medicine where Jon moved in time with the bands stop start riff and proceeded to speed up. I can't describe it accurately but you'll know what I mean when u see it.

SOME TIT WHO FELT THE NEED TO STAND IN FRONT OF US HALF WAY THROUGH AND JUMP LIKE A LOON. YOU WERE IN THE GOLDEN CIRCLE STANDING SECTION, YOU WERE WITH WHAT I ASSUME WAS YOUR GIRLFRIEND, SHE HAD BLONDE HAIR AND STOOD SIDE ON WITH ME. THERE WERE ANOTHER 2 WITH YOU, ONE WAS A BLOKE (True BJ FAN) AND HIS GIRLFRIEND, DARK SHOULDER LENGTH HAIR. YOU WORE A BLACK SHIRT AND YOU WENT OFF DURING CAPTAIN CRASH AND RE-APPEARED HALF WAY THROUGH BAD MEDICINE THINKING YOU COULD REACIVATE YOUR ROLE AS THE BERLIN WALL, NOT A CHANCE MATE.
Sorry to go on but I hate folk who do that sort of thing. It didn't spoil my night but it pissed off the lovely young ladies beside me.
