I do wonder how many people in this post that are saying the sound at Tottenham is shit have actually been to the stadium and arent just copying what they have read elsewhere online.

I saw GNR there and the sound was crystal clear and loud. The stadium was also sonically designed by U2s sound engineer who ensured that the noise created within the stadium stays in the stadium and doesn't float out. Maybe that was with football in mind but either way it's a loud stadium. When Spurs are playing and I go there every couple of weeks, it can get really loud in there. Better than I've heard in most other stadiums.

Of course it's not indoors so it'll never be the same but as a large outdoor stadium goes it's the best venue in London and probably the UK.

Pricing of this gig still sucks though, not denying that part.

Were you standing for that show? I have concerns for the sound but only based on what I'm reading, I've never been to the stadium

I was standing. Started by the sound desk and then over to the right near the halfway line due to popping out for drinks when GNR played new songs.

Sounded fine to my ears and very clear!

Leads to my next question nicely 😁 do they have bars set up outside around the edges or do you need to go back into the concourse?

Nothing will ever be worse than the sound quality at Wembley Arena 2007 and I still loved that show. Provided it's loud enough so that you can't hear everyone around you chatting bollocks it's all somewhere on the spectrum of enjoyment.

The best Long road version I ever saw......that was INSANE

Wembley arena has always just had harsh volume for many many years 

Since PJ have seen maybe a dozen acts in Wembley Arena. QOTSA in 2013 is the only one who've had what I'd consider sub-par. Porcupine Tree a couple years ago one of the best sounds I've heard in an arena.
So much depends on the effort (or lack of) put in by band and sound people during the soundcheck, whatever size the venue.

I was at the porcupine tree gig, wow what a sound. But then again, I saw them years ago at a smaller venue notorious for bad sound, they sounded incredible, almost unfair to use them as an example 😂

Or an example to bands who can't be arsed to take their time and get things right?!
