Rage Against the Machine gig in Finsbury Park

Hence the offer of sending a pic to compare. Little hassle for a free ticket to such a famous band, and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Besides these pointless pedantics, the offer is there, if anybody wishes!

So, where and when are we meeting up?

Dunno mate , apparently the gates open at 2pm , other reports say 12 , I`ll see what time I manage to get to London and will give you a buzz

Leaving now Stu , don`t forget your registration number , ID and Postcode details people . Will keep you posted on my progress , Tatty Bye

Got back home today at 2pm , will do a full "Badgerous" write up when I have recovered . What an excellent gig , right up there in my top 5 ever .

Deffo in my top 5 too, possibly top spot actually...

Just got back home after hanging around in London all day today, am totally knackered. Back to work in the morning, boo!

Stu, sorry I lost you in the mosh pit mate, I just got drawn into it, despite my shoulder! A quick note to everyone else - moshing with a still-healing collarbone is a pretty bad idea! Thankfully no damage done though, just a bit sore today.

They gotta bring a DVD out of that gig man , just the footage from the screens would be a killer show . At one point it would have induced epileptic seizures . Tom Morello was note perfect all the way through man .

No worries mate I was really enjoying it anyway - thought you had retreated slightly, not gone further into it!
Badger I thought you were going to be too late to catch the tube when you text' me - was quite fun leaving with all those people - didn't really see the point of all the Police trying to be antagonistic and yes I got stopped on my bike for being too fast with all the people about (it was pretty empty and I was just trying to keep the engine going as it was cold). I'd stopped to fill up with petrol when you told me you'd reached St Paul's, so that was really quick for you, I got home about an hour later without incident. (so long as there were no speed camera infractions as I was pretty tired)

They don`t call me Badger for nothing , I plotted my exit from the moment we walked in mate , positioned myself near the gate when they went off stage , knew they would do "Killing in the name" as their encore and the very second they finished that song I was on a mission . Made my way out , almost leading the charge for the tube station . I thought the mounted police was too much to be honest , everyone was quiet leaving the Park . I got a tube within 3 minutes of hitting the platfrom , within 8 minutes I was at Oxford Circus and waited 2 minutes for a train . I think it took about 5 minutes to get to St Pauls and I was out , I buggered about taking pictures in Paternoster Square and then got into my room at the Hostel and was in bed by 11:30 .... apparently El Saxo was still trapped in the Park around then

They used those horses to kettle the people in about 3 seconds after I passed through the line. Not sure for how long, but it was about when the tube shut. been reliving some of it on you tube including Gate G from outside when it was rushed.
