I was at that one, or at least one of the dates as they did a few nights. If it was the Invisible touch tour.

Yep. Sadly, I was with two other people and one of them got scared about being on the pitch near the front so we moved up to the stands by which time we ended up a long way from the stage so it could have been so much better.

Thats the exact one I went to, bloody didnt find it was cancelled till you turned up to get in, apparently axl rose was ill, but I heard he was having issues with then girlfriend stephanie seymour. They also came on 2 hrs late and people started booing, until Slash was seen walking to the stage in the background.
 
is there gonna be another one?

Led Zepplin at Wembly in 197.....something, I still have the ringing in my ears, mind bending event will remember to my last days. :)

Was in France about five years ago and by chance went to see Rammstein, bloody brilliant.

Just an old headbanger at heart just can't do the jumping up and down bits.

Dire Straits - Wembley Arena 1985
Queen - Wembley Stadium 1986 (Supported by Status Quo, INXS, The Alarm)
Genesis - Wembley Stadium 1987

How strange, I can't remember INXS being there, were they there all n ights ? :thinking:
 
Saw Rammstein at the Wembley arena this year absolutely brilliant!
Sage Francis is a definite as well, so much energy
 
Going to show my age a little bit here....

I would have to say the best "show" is a close run thing between Meatloaf and Rod Stewart - I'm not a big fan of either, but they know how to entertain!

Eminem was also good, if let down by his technical backup a little
 
Queens of the Stone Age, Adequate 7 and Pendulum are my top three I think.
 
The best groups I've seen are The cure, Depeche Mode, Radiohead, Orbital and Massive Attack, but picking a winner is easy.

U2 at Wembley Stadium, Zoo TV Tour, 1993. They were supported by Bjork and Carter USM.
Bloody Awesome!
