Re: Blueplanes Digest, Vol 2, Issue 2

["TREVOR BOYD" <boyds56@ti...co.uk>]

gareth - I was at that Milton Keynes gig - my first Planes gig and it was
indeed awesome.  Ian Kearey support if I remember correctly.

If you have never seen the Planes before and then they all line up at the
front of the stage in a row for the first song (Razor Walk I think) then 
the
riff kicks in and then absolute bedlam follows - just a sea of interweaving
bodies with Gerard trying to dodge everyone. Best opening to a gig I have
ever seen - left an impression never matched before or since.

Angelo on top of the PA stack during 'Breaking' - Wjotek dancing in the
audience

Ah memories...
