So I left at 6am Sunday morning and stopped for a fuel outside of Melb only to read jpkennedy PM that the roll call was up to 250 and he wasn't bothering...I could have cried esp telling me that after 12.30pm don't leave the concourse.
Drove on in misty rain and eventually got to Gate 3 about 8.30am and got 361.
Came back at midday and they got us to roll call and waited around and chatted with fellow fans in REAL LIFE....met a guy over from Malaysia, Tassy, Melb other places.
Eventually got in and didn't know where to go. Lot of people around the main stage but I wanted a fence and got down at Lil Stevens side.
Man passes out and medics arrive about 4 metres from where I was standing. Some people crying. He got wheeled away so who knows what happened.
H&C were excellent...reminded me of all those yearly visits they made to Latrobe Uni in the late 80's.
So many musical moments that were a highlight and wont rehash because we all know what they are...some funny moments as well during the night like when Morello's lead meant he was stranded mid stage and the rest were singing down the front...Bruce's support man singing an intro. kind of sort of.
Eventually got MY CAP Cruyff14 on the way out and starving and thirsty bought food at 7Eleven...I wouldn't have cared if it was dog food I was so hungry...and hit the pillow at 12.30 before getting up at 5am for the drive home....and work all day!
So thankyou for you help and advice and me annoying you over the past year Cruyff14, @RussllEbertHandball, ManWithNoName, and jpkennedy in my search for the best position.
In 1985 I missed his tour. I swore then that one day I would see him & EStreet and make it up...well it took 4 goes over those 29 years to finally get close enough to say that I am happy with what I experienced last night.
I was thinking during 'This Hard Land'...wow...he has been the soundtrack of my life just as that T-shirt says....the good, the bad and the ugly...
Sorry for the self indulgence....me from Feb 2014....wow...cant believe he is coming back again....do you know how long we waited from 1985....and now 3 times in a decade!
