The songs didn't really stick with me, so I didn't have much to say ;-) To be honest I really don’t remember them that much, other than the slightly bizarre initial talk before they started singing.

Previously I would have said that Roger Waters was too much of a miserable git to join in, but he seemed quite chirpy on the day - the happiest I have seen him. By the way, did you miss out the Killers because you don't like them or because you blinked and missed them?

You're a genius :-) Can't believe I didn't get that...Elbow room was indeed rather lacking where we were, it's an tricky decision about what to sacrifice. Yeah, I suppose there were a couple of others there :-) That’s it!

How about last year's single by the Scissor Sisters? The people you were really looking forward to seeing! Its OK - we all get sudden blank spots in the memory. Personally I was trying to remember when I last heard a song murdered more comprehensively than Pete Doherty did to Children of the Revolution, and I still can't think of one :-) Looks like you had a much better view than we did! (Though we had more elbow room) Now… where have you heard Comfortably Numb before…
