Following on from previous thread

I miss Freddie

No nor me

Yes, he was gorgeous 😍

Kids have been so short changed these days, I'm not surprised she feels like that tbh.

This song is very relevant today. I'd not heard it before.

Maybe we went for (long) wee breaks?

Not too impressed by the US side of things.

Beautiful George 🥰😭. The Space Station went over shortly after Rocketman was on.

The stadium in Philadelphia is like half a stadium!

I have suggested to MN in the past that the OP of a thread could have a 1,001 post only available to them to point anyone to a new thread and their response was along the lines of yeah sure just let us know which post and we’ll get on it!

It was very funny. I miss Tom Petty a lot.

Brian May is a qualified Dr of Astrophysics. What an interesting man!

I actually think he may have been the perfect man. Like you could have trademarked the phrase with his face.

@JaneJeffer they actually had more people there than at Wembley!

Phil had a hectic day

I just mean the shape of it from above

Yeah it’s very Americana rather than rock and pop. Some truly classic artists but can’t touch some of the uk acts.

I think from the shape it was probably a baseball stadium.

Found new thread, phew.

Philadelphia picks up a bit at the end I think…

Ha ha. I didn't notice him in the Cars at the time. It was about 5 years ago, seeing him on an old Totp. And then discovering he'd died in about 2000 or 2001.

Loving all of the short shorts and pulled up socks.

@piscofrisco he was really thoughtful and made some good points in his interview.

Have you read Bob Geldof's memoir 'Is That It?'. He makes the point that there was a very different atmosphere at the US concert - Phil Collins said the same.

I never really “got” Eric Clapton. An ex used to think he was the dogs wotsits.

Where are all the black acts in America? We are the World was mainly black artists, am surprised there's not more of them...?
