What people wrote about nights here

  • A guest 100% for Pantera · Sun, 13 May 2001

    I was there! It was incredible! It was my first metal concert and I just turned 18. I was in the back grandstand section, until Pantera came out, then I lept 15 feet down into the mosh pit, made it to the front barrier wall, dime gave me a beer, still have the cup, then I caught a pick after he played cemetery gates at the end of the show, still got it! Best time of my life, but I can't find any footage of the show????????????

  • A guest 100% for Fleetwood Mac · Fri, 07 Mar 1980

    this was one of the most wonderful nights of my life! i had recently come to australia as an exchange student, and at my going away party in the states, i was given the just released 'tusk'. we had a wonderful time, but i don't know how it came together for the band! Stevie was carried onstage because she was so drunk, but she pulled it together eventually. Christine Mcvie arrived very late and was carried onto the stage where she was held upright for a little while. i don't know if she ever pulled it together. regardless, i was 16 and me and my posse were right in front of the center stage where we danced like mad for the entire night. sometimes i cry remembering how happy we all were back then.
