I was there on Friday and I managed to get a wrist band to get in the front pen (the area fenced off that included about the first 3rd of the audience). I've been going to see gigs for around 17 years now and I thought it was amazing. True, his voice was, to put it generously, patchy, but the rest of the band were incredible and the atmosphere was one of the best I've been in.
Reni is simply one of the greatest drummers I've ever seen. Drumming you could listen to without the rest of the band. Mani is a great bass player, a proper engine room musician and John Squire is ad always was an amazing guitarist - he's still the coolest guy in the band, it all looks so effortless to him.
What I'll say about Ian Brown and this gig is that the crowd was so loud he became one of 75,000 voice singing rather than one voice ruining the show. If you were going to this gig you weren't going to hear him hit some high notes, you were going for the event.
The event was better than I thought it would be (and I had pretty high hopes too)
