BIGGEST REGRET OF MY LIFE - Pink Floyd reunited and we left before they played!!!! I don't know what I was thinking.... it was a ridiculously long day, they packed way too many people into Hyde park, it was scorching hot and by the time Mariah Carey was done I was ready to stab myself! No excuses though, I will always feel shame when I think of all the shit I sat through that day.

I'm sure I'm missing a few from that list, and there's loads of support bands I've forgotten, and bands I've seen at festivals, but that's what I can remember for now. Oh, and some of them I've seen many times.......suddenly I'm seeing where my money has gone!

Damn...I think you're the only person in the world who can say "I passed on seeing Pink Floyd because the Mariah Carey show wiped me out"

Yep, like I said, deep shame :oops:

In fairness, I wasn't that into them at the time, little did I know that would be my one and only opportunity to see them.
