It reinforced my opinion that spending £100 to watch any band on a big screen the other end of a field is not the best use of my money. if you are on the periphery and miles back then yeah £100 seems a waste , I’ve done a few of the BST events over the years , We normally get nicely pissed and enjoy the whole sorta event , for Roger Walters the other year they had 2 stages so you could flip between them for the support bands , it does as someone said give it a kind of festival vibe just without Greta lecturing you and the requitement to sleep in a tent . I’m at Hyde Park Friday for Pearl Jam , that will be a drunken event with a few mates followed by a 4am finish in London somewhere …. I’m back there on Sunday with mates and WAGS for Duran Duran which will be more sedate and probably be more about chilling in the back listening to some music and a bit more mellow ,a social event if you like I’ll enjoy both events even if they will be somewhat different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously Axl can't help his voice going and not being able to hit the high notes, but the hugely reduced set and delay - plus the fact that he sounded pretty awful after the first few songs and by the end could barely sing at all - left me feeling like I deserved some sort of refund. No idea if it's possible though. I'd be very surprised if the delays weren't due to making the decision about whether to proceed with the show or not. I like that he said he wanted to carry on because the show was very important to them - maybe true, but I'm sure so is the £££! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was, but I wasn't expecting to go there to essentially see someone else sing the songs. Just glad I got to see them on their previous tour pre-Covid, as it was much better then. I grew up listening to them and was so happy to actually get to see that lineup live - would have been devestated if last night was the only time though!

That has nothing to do with the venue. The band bring the PA. Well more precisely the promoter hires the PA which is to the bands specification and the band's sound engineer is in charge of that.

Seat68 Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 I have seen Carrie Underwood live, not really a fan but she happened to be singing at the concert (country music) I was at. She had a very very good voice, my wife who dislikes her conceded that she had pipes. Scratching my head how she came to be singing with guns n roses mind.

Was a toss up this weekend if we took the meth wagon up to St Anne's or to a place near Buxton. We chose the latter but glad to have avoided the Lytham traffic.
