I'm quite shocked to see all the hatred toward Wembley.

It's not good but nowhere near as bad as the true abomination that is Earls Court! I will NEVER go to see a band in that aircraft hanger again.

The sound slaps back off the walls and makes even BB King and Clapton sound horrid.

You can't see a goddam thing either so I end up watching a video with piss-poor sound.

I made the mistake of getting down the front to see Maiden there with Slayer in support.
Sadly, the $%&#-wits who think a circular mosh-pit is the ultimate concert experience were out in force so I couldn't even f**king watch the band on the floor.

I wanted to f**king rip their throats out considering I've been a Maiden & Slayer fan since before they were born.

Never been to Earls Court, but I must admit I was wondering what that was like when I was posting earlier.

can't comment on wembley or earl's court, but the circle jerks i can!  saw Metallica in Dublin last week and these asses were in force there too.  it's like spending two hours at a mass brawl!  some of these things get remarkably violent.  a bit of jumping about is fine, but deliberately throwing people at each other?  where is the pleasure in this?  and then some total neanderthals started picking their friend up in the air and rather than crowd surf, hurled him into the air so he landed on people in front!  this idiot landed on my sister's neck and momentarily knocked her out!  she can hardly move her neck a week later!  i wasn't unhappy when he landed on the ground a bit later and someone drove their boot into his ribs. 

rock shows were always a bit physical, but it's getting ridiculous.

oh, back to the point :)  i hope the rev. G and his congregation put on a great show.  say hello to Pearly for us!

Meet you at the bar mate, unless you want to share petrol costs?

Thanks to this thread I now have 2 tickets for Wembley.  I had no idea they were touring: well done BKP forum. 

Regarding Wembley I'm very much in the "It's not the best" category but I saw BB King there this year and the sound was fine I thought.  It's a bit of a soulless venue but I'm happy to go back.

Some bands can make Wembley sound good if they have a GREAT sound guy
Queen did it - but then they had Trip Khalif doing their sound

Motley Crue did it on the Dr Feelgood tour

I hve seen a few great gigs there - just want to be at the wrong end of the hall or up in the gods as you cant see and the sound is poor (too quiet)

I saw the Manics at Wembley maybe three years back and it was a crackin gig, only time I've been like.

As for ZZ Top, I love their stuff but last time I saw them they were piss poor.  I was massively disappointed to say the least as I'd wanted to see the Rev & Co since I was at school.

1) Great news about going to see 'The Rev' Dave !   I saw them about ten years ago at Birmingahm, and they were indeed "Good Ol' Boys" ... :D

2) Pink Floyd ( 'The Wall' and 'Pulse' tours ) made Earls court sound positively intimate. Having said that, all the hanging 'Hammer' Flags, motorised hardware - and sound engineering technology they used would probably have tamed the Grand Canyon !  :)

I would have enjoyed it at the Wolves Civic , but Wembley puts me off.

How were Steel Panther (who were supporting)?

I saw Steel Panther in Manchester a few weeks ago, and they were better then as the crowd were totally up for it.

Still good tonight though  :)
