Wembley Review - Sort of!

[peterclamp]

Well What A Night!

The show was awsome but i will leave the full reviews to someone else, just have a little story to tell.

Arrived at the arena around 3.45pm...damn, i was not the first person there! Met up with Damaja (a nice guy hides behind that notorious online persona!), then Timmie turned up followed shortly by Sophie...PaddyBoy and others. Just before 6 James B and Cey Adams turned up to do the video shoutouts, gotta say BIG thanks and respect to both those guys for what they did for us...basically we got our shoutouts on the screen, timmie and i appeared at least twice! Even better than that though, after Cey heard Timmies missus and friend only had seated tix (we all had standing) he disappeared for a few mins, only to return with enough VIP backstage passes for our group.
We ended up watching Talib then the BBoys from the left side of the stage next to the band dressing rooms! We all met Alfredo, Mix Master Mike, watched the boys playing basketball, saw mca's wife and daughter, Timmie spoke to mca before he went on stage...the list goes on.

Bar my wedding this weekend, this has been the best night of my life.
Thanks again to everyone involved, crew, band, wembley staff and all the board members that I got to meet - what decent people they all are.
Final shoutout to Shazam_21 who arrived to late, nice to meet you sorry you weren't backstage.

Cannot remember, it still seems like a dream! I think on it, maybe someone else can answer.
They played the usual ones plus eggman, paul revere, shake your rump, somethings gotta give...

As i was not first at wembley today (my aim!) then i had to be first to post after the gig!

Hi guys, this is my first post, been a lurker for a while!!

But i have to say that was AMAZING!! What a show, i thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it!! I was right at the front (about 2 people in front of me!) being crushed & pushed all in between dancing my tits off!!

I also got on the big screen (i was the first one on in the wig, shades & sideways cap, my lame attempt at dressin to impress!) which made me a million times happier than i was to just be there (which was very, very happy!!)

I can't believe they opened with Egg Man...AMAZING!!

[sophie025]

the show was amaaaaaaaaaaazingly incredible.. one of the sickest shows EVER! i love them soo much.
and ad-rock still stands as the SEXIEST man alive. jeeeeeeeesus chrrrrrrist. ahhh! im so wired!!! they did all the keew songs and it they're all jokers too. luv itt.
i danced, lunged and sang the whole friggin nite.. i watched them side stage.. and got to c them go on stage, (we were right next to their dressing rooms).. aaaand we saw them playing b-ball on a tiny court backstage. and i met mix master mike and alphredo. one of the best nights of the yr. cant wait to see my pics!
i'll just say again: ad-rock is the hottest man on earth.
c'est tout.

Absolutely awsome night. On the rail, front and centre, touched MCA a couple of times as he was walking up and down the front barrier, on the big screens a few times with the crowd shots, and got an original set-list at the end. Quality.



PS - There was a nice looking girl wearing a yellow top and a hat, right at the front. I was stood next to you, singing quite a bit. If you wanna hook up, gimme a PM.

haha - long shot but worth a try!



Anyway, like i said, had a whale of a time. looking forward to hearing everyone else' stories.

PPS - Got loads of pics on camera phone, if any are any good, i'll post 'em here.

PPPS - Forgot to grab a ticket at the gate at the end. If anyone wants to donate one, i'd be more than pleased.

(iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii'mmmmmmmmm doin' alright - Hehehe )

I'll shut up now. Bye

[Axl Z]

was right at the front man and tried to high-five mca as he walked past but missed and just slapped his arm!! (SORRY MAN!! ) someone near me grabbed him i think and something he had fell into the crowd and loads of people started looking for it - ain't got a clue what it was thou, took loads of pictures and cameraphone clips - excellent night!!

[peterclamp]

By the way, the backstage area was called the Pageant Pit and you needed a special wristband (not a Wembley one), there were probably around 50 people in there before the show started...mostly band/crew then during the gig around 75-100 there

Darn! cheers mate, sounds like you had a wicked time, it was nice to meet you all too.

Well it seems everyone enjoyed theirselves, surprised no-one mentioned when Money Mark fell during Sabotage. He launched himself off a box towards his keys, then ended on his ass. I just managed to catch it, hope they got it on camera for the dvd!

[intergalactic]

Last night was amazing i had a really great time and i will never forget it!!! I've been looking forward to seeing them for so long and i hadn't seen them before. They were even better than i thought. I also brought along three freinds who do not know much of there stuff, but came out saying how amazing it was.


SAME TIME NEXT YEAR

[steve b]

Hope you enjoyed the fact that you got a well big cheer when you said who you were up on screen! Representiing the boards, as I think you put it, clearly got you far! Congrats again on ya wedding!

I had the best time. Thanks to Shazam_21, who hooked me up with 2 seating tkts, me and my sis made it down and what a night. She isn't quite crazy beastie boys but certainly is now. Adrock put in some performance, just in general an amazing show.

Honestly I still can't quite put it into words. Didn't see too many other 15 years olds about the place though, but it was great seeing so many people out there supporting the Beasties.

So much went on in that gig and I'm desperately trying to remember just about everything. I love that 'I'm doing alright' thing...that might not be what Adrock was saying to the crowd, and the response he wanted, but it was along those lines. Please correct me if I'm wrong! And then when people forgot about he was like 'And I thought we'd established something...'

Great nite, I'm in a bit of a rush so didn't read everthing, so sorry if stuff I've said has been mentioned. I wish there was some way I could see that show again, or hear it or something, there must be a good quality CD of it somewhere being put together right now!

Ooo and while it's on my mind how about how fast the boys got to the other end of the arena? They must've pegged it!
