except then we wouldn't have got the full monty stage show or the pretty lasers.

maybe it was worse up where you were toolrockman but all i can say is if your thought mastadon's mix was bad, you have not experienced too many support groups at wembley arena! that was nowhere near the worst i have heard.
i was amused by a couple of american guys who wandered in about 10 minutes after mastadon had finished and asked us if mastadon had been on yet. when told yes they have, you've missed them, he looked mightily pissed. i helpfully pointed out that it did say show starts at 7:30pm on the ticket.
