    I got in just as yellow brick road gad been playing. But thanks to @Boycie’s top tip if had it playing on YouTube through the car speakers, so didn’t miss too much. 

    I didn’t expect to care too much about Justin Hawkins, he seemed like a bit of a random addition to the bill, but he was brilliant. Ac/dc was amazing. I kind of just thought some of these guys might be walking on the stage and giving a wave, but to hear back in black live. To see Bryan may live, to see Paul Mc-freaking-Cartney live. Oh my god!!

    one of these days… I’m not crying, you’re crying. You could feel the catharsis when Dave was screaming into the mike after an emotional moment. I recently had to speak at my mums memorial, and just a couple of weekends ago saw my uncle choke up at my aunties memorial. And it’s horrible when you start to choke up, but you know you can get through it, the memories all just come flooding back like a tidal wave of emotion for a moment. It was so nice when the whole crowd could chant back ‘it’s alright’, and then Dave could scream back ‘Easy for you to say!!’. What a moment!!!

    I absolutely love Dave grohl, and Taylor Hawkins. Loved the way Taylor always had a smile, and when you get all these rockers where black t-shirts and biting heads of backs, he was there in his vest and board shorts, and a massive smile on his face. They really seem like two of the worlds good guys. And I really feel for Dave that he’s lost Kurt and now Taylor. But then lots of people on that stage had lost people. It was nice that Bryan May reminisced that Freddie’s tribute was exactly 30 years ago in the same place.

    what a night!!

    my 12 year old daughter is sooooooo lucky she has the coolest parents on the planet (ok, too three after violet grohls parents and Shane Hawkins parents). And now she’s got the t-shirt to prove it. 

    The day had been pretty s*** up to that point. I was exhausted after an all night bender in wakes, set off driving at 9am and didn’t arrive til 18:30. The derby result didn’t help. But that made it all better. Back at about 02:30, and I’m just starting to feel alive again. But 100% worth it. I wouldn’t change a thing. 

    Sounds like you had a hell of a mission to get there! We felt so lucky to be part of that, to see all those amazing artists was one thing but the emotion, warmth and love was incredible.

    Sorry to hear about your Mum. I did eulogies at both my parents’ funerals and it was so tough, but I actually really enjoyed their funerals, especially my Dad’s. I spent the day and evening talking to all his old mates and hearing stories about him. I guess that must have been what it was like for the family yesterday times a million! It must have been amazing for them to be with all Taylor’s mates and see how many people loved him. And Shane did him proud on My Hero.

    It was Times Like These that really got us. Did you know Dave lost his Mum a few weeks ago as well? I’m amazed he held it together as well as he did.

    I’m not even there yet. Electric car ran out of f*%€\*|€+ battery!!!!! I was meters away from the charger, but in the wrong part of the car park, some guys had to push me round the car park. Absolute nightmare.

    (I had planned my journey, but turns out the chargers is aimed for we’re broken or had a massive queue). 

    What time did you get there? We just about made it for the start and so glad we did. Liam Gallagher was great and brilliant to hear Dave drumming harder than anyone’s ever drummed to Oasis! 
     

    Other highlights were Brian Johnson / Lars, Supergrass and Hot for Teacher with Wolfgang van Halen, amazing. And how good was Justin Hawkins?? And the next generation of drummers - Rufus Taylor and Shane Hawkins. My Hero with Shane drumming was so emotional. The whole night was so well done and Dave must have worked like a nutter in the build up. He played drums / bass / guitar / vocals for half the night, that will have taken a huge amount of work.

    I made it. I got tickets!!!

    an email popped up today saying last few tickets released. 

    but if a pain in the arse now though, as I’ve made plans for the weekend. I’m going to have to drive from wales on Saturday morning, and cut my weekend there short. But totally worth it. 

    I’ve only ever been to Wembley by bus before though. So does anyone more experienced than I know The best options for parking?

    I’ve just checked official Wembley parking, and it’s £60! Surely there’s a better option if I park further out and get a tube in or something?

    PS I’ve changed my angry face to a cheers now. I don’t feel quite as bitter any more. 

    I’m going as well and we’ve booked to park in someone’s drive through Just Park. It was £29 and looks to be about a 20 minute walk. We did the same for the play off final and it was really easy.

    Really looking forward to this.

    I saw my mate,

    the other day,

    he told me he saw the new Maldini.

    So I asked,

    who is he?

    He goes by the name of Jake Rooney

     

    Fits a bit better by shortening “he said to me” bit. Maldini could be changed with Baresi, Chiellini, Desailly or VVD. ?

    Or Tomori!
