The Police

[freakydancer]

I normally don't do stadium gigs, but I'm not sure if the Police will tour again so made an exception this time.

Already got my tickets for V2007 and Isle Of Wight so got the festival thin sorted this year.

Fave venue is either Hammersmith Palais (won't be there much longer) or Shepherds Bush.

Ah yes, festivals of course are a different beast. I'm talking about stadium tours, or even arena tours which, generally, are soulless places...

Small venues are always best, unless it’s a band that has a spectacular show like Muse or The Flaming Lips, I saw Oasis in the Fleece and firkin in Bristol (small venue) before they hit the big time, I had a piss next to Noel and he asked “what do you think of my band?" I said "they're alright I suppose".

I saw Tool in a very small venue (Manchester Uni Debating room) that was intense. Now they sell out stadiums,

The only time it is fun is when you're in a field and complete strangers are passing round spliff's and you have no idea what’s in it, I saw the strokes at v one year and it was one of the best nights of my life, my misses and mates found me wrapped in a blanket sat against ice cream van with a big smiley face and vacant eye's top night.

Yeah your misses let you get stoned so she could have some extra curricular with said mates

Well if we're into pissing contests - I saw Nirvana at the Princess Charlotte pub in Leicester before they made it big.

We were with another couple, did I miss out?

I don't know what I smoked but I've had ak47 before and it was way weirder than that, it was like they were puppets on the stage and I could control them, when they finished a turned around and was really surprised that there was about 20,000 people stood behind me.

I dont think I'd be daft enough to do that again as I felt a bit silly in the morning as it could have been anything, does anyone know what this was likely to be?
