Mayhem

I was there Friday and have to admit the sound for the first 3 or 4 songs was disappointing. Worse than that though were the complete prats who decided to try and push their way to the front just before Coldplay came on. I got there relatively early and after a "discussion" with the jobsworth security re my camera got near the front bout 6 people away slightly stage right with my better half. Not much room down there after Richard Ashcroft who I have to say was absolutely superb in my opinion however, then the worse for drink brigade started to try and get past you. Unfortunately one such nice person decided to do a kidney punch on my better half which resulted in her nearly pasing out and a row ensued followed by us having to go to the back to be seen by st johns . I haveento a fair few gigs in my time but I have never seen such complete inept stewarding and complete beered up idiots at all. Sort of spoilt the whole thing but did get 3 great shots of Chris when he came to the back. All in all an average gig for me.
