So as someone said earlier you do meet friends for life like this, i met my best friend at that show at the Apollo in MAnchester and we have been mates ever since, we even moved to the USA togetther, he in Florida and me in LA,
So after that show we had this bright idea to go to EVERY meat show on the next tour, so we did, every show on the Lost boys Tour and the 20/20 tour, i dont know how we found the time and money but we did!! too many great stories but the some of the brief highlights were.
Leslie using us as Body guards to get to the tour bus, why? i dont remember
Reading festival....Meats bus drives past us as we were outside the venue, he pulls in past security and tells the bus driver to stop, he gets out and tells us to get on the bus, we go in and get the passes for the day and hang with everyone...
A kiss on the cheek from one of the Goffs sisters!!
Steve Buslowe asking our opinion on the set list all the time, Steve was the nicest guy and ALWAYS had time to talk with us, one day walking around in London we actually just bumped in to Steve on the Subway...
Seeing many many many sound checks with different versions of songs.
Hearing Special Girl live (Birmingham i think)
Meeting George Borowski the guitar tech who is the guy that comes on at the end of the Wembley 82 video for the jam, we did not know it but we already know him from a band in MAnchester that we used to see, great guy, his nickname is "Guitar George" and yes that song is supposed to be about him......
There is so much to remember it just impossible, but know this, the band, Meat and his wife at the time Leslie were always gracious and pleasant, we met Andy K somewhere on these travels also....
Next we went to the states were we saw meat and jim perform heaven can wait..
more to follow
