Concert on Prime

Haha! Yeah- that 2002 show was great. London Arena. Even though in Mick Wall's book he describes it as "London Arena, now renamed the O2" he's totally wrong- was a different place altogether. No idea what happened to it- as I remember it was more like a sports hall than an Arena. I also remember it not being that big? I came straight from Leeds festival (went to see GNR) to there. To go from never having seen them live to twice in 4 days was pretty special. Are there any decent boots of the show floating around?

Wasn't the venue torn down shortly afterwards? I believe GN'R were only one the last few bands that were scheduled to play there.

Yeah- I'm pretty sure it's gone now, but I'm not sure what it became. I can't even remember where it was actually- somewhere in the docklands, and you got there via the overground tube is all I remember!

Yeah it was called London Docklands Arena. I'd love to know what the attendance was that night, it seemed really small. I walked in through some door at the side and was right at the front. I did the Leeds gig too like you, mad seeing twice in a few days, my 3rd and 4th time seeing them.

I remember exactly the same- going in at the side and being pretty much front row. Did it even have seats? I'm not sure it did.

What a few days that was to be a fan! That Leeds show is still probably my favourite time seeing them (so far!)

Also, I remember being in a pub before the gig and someone I got talking to told me about this very website. So I've been on  here since 2002!

I still have a set the soundguy gave me that docklands show. I can't remember what's on it, but I'm sure oh my god appeared twice and wasn't even played. At the bottom it says something like... You go now.

Ugh, I turned if off as soon as I saw Ashba like 8 seconds in. 

No thank you.

I got excited cause I thought it was (like a few of you guys) the '02 show.

Oh my god wasn't played. Wouldn't mind seeing the setlist if you can scan it?
