Apologies for the jerkiness but the guy next to me insisted on constantly jumping on my feet and the rather strange man next to him, around 6'4" tall, lifted his hand outspread in the air to every single song while shaking around.

was he blonde or brown haired? there was a guy tonight who was literally bashing me and two other very small woman like we weren't even there. it totally ruined the concert as it got plain scary so i totally agree with your point -- there is enjoying a concert and there is basically knocking over anyone in your path ... he was splayed out trying to reach brett -- across a three foot barrier -- like if he didn't touch him 21 may would be the last day on earth.

@girlmousyhair The Thursday foot-crusher was gingerish. There was a group of 5 women cowering nearby but we all managed to evade him in the end by moving down the slope.

Enjoyed your self-righteous comment, moaning that people around you were so busy enjoying themselves that they failed to give you right of way for your vital guerilla film-making.

I was stood to one side, and was - as I always am - amazed by the tragic number of blue screen flashing away as people filmed the gig. Whatever happened to just enjoying the music?

[alistairburns]

@d90yqv I agree with you people should be able to enjoy the gig in their own way though some less "space aware" than others! I always try and keep my camera out of others' line of sight to the stage and don't want people hurting heads against the camera even if they do consider my feet legitimate floor space.

It's a good point you make about just enjoying the music. If I am in filming mode I still try and watch the stage and crowd with my own eyes. Get great feedback from those who can't go tho

They were amazing last night, great choice of addtional stuff to the album as well (To the birds, insatiable one, trash, he's dead, only bum note was the choice of final song, beautiful ones, which is a bit weak imo).

Excellent quality vid by the way - and the sound is a lot better than where I was stood!

@BelligerentGoal Cheers, I am deafer this morning than after I saw Snoop Dogg on Tuesday and that was a tad bass heavy!

Thanks so much for this, I was gutted to be too ill to not be able to make use of my ticket...

if it was center front that dude is at every single concert ... they could have been playing kumbaya and idiot (not the blond) would still have knocked over anyone in his path . so to d90yqv, there was NO enjoying the music when you are literally punched black and blue by a drunken lout -- it wasn't pogo-going it was inflicting full on body damage and the crowd was too thick to get out as i tried to do (before you say i had a choice).
