I've
never known anyone to get elitist over their interest in TD. It'll be fine. Despite having been a fan for 25 years and having a huge TD CD collection, I know precious little trivia.
elitist? don't think so, hell most of us can't even spell it
Isn't that a car made by Lotus ?

This will be the first TD gig I've ever been to, and it's taking a wee bit of getting my head around the fact that it's only 6 days away....
Yep..... I'm getting excited......

It's the post-gig down I don't like- the last optimistic clap has rung out - nope, no fourth encore and the lights are up now anyway.
Nothing for it but to turn round and file out.
But meeting up with fans before and after certainly cushions that blow.

I get the lack of concentration thing and jangly nerves, but have to say that I usually sleep well, dreaming of TD concerts of the past. It's chuffing brilliant.

I'll try the dreaming of TD concerts past 'remedy', Chris.

For me not sure if it was Motorhead at PortVale FC or Saxon at the Victoria hall in the 80's.

Not quite in the same camp as Motorhead etc, but the loudest I've heard was Leftfield at Wolves Civic - so loud you couldn't tell one track from another - a major disappointment live

Another surprising one was Level 42 !
The bass was so loud it hurt your insides - a bit like the end of side one of Logos !
