£22.50? It seems like pittance now but I saved for weeks to go to both gigs.

I stayed out all night to be the first to buy tickets, then heard htere was a second gig and there was loads available. Good craic though.

Ticket seems cheap now alright! They were in their prime, that was the peak of it all. Great gig, The Prodigy made a lot of fans those nights as well.

Why hasn't there been a large gig like this in the Parc in years? Actually i think that Oasis concert was probably the last big gig down there if i'm not mistaken. Is it because the place has been declared a death trap? (which it is). Another Hillsborough waiting to happen.

Prodigy were amazing alright, and the bootleg beatles.

Did Noel sing on his own one of the nights? Or did he just sing a few songs himself?

I did too, started queuing at HMV at 1:15am, I remember it well.

A promoter tried to bring Elton John a few years back but tickets weren't selling so he moved it to Killarney. Its a big gamble for a promoter.
