I had two tickets for the Manchester gig last night but instead of going, my wife an I spent almost 3 hours stuck in between junctions 25 and 24 on the M62 behind a 7 car and 1 Artic pile-up. Sitting in taffic for that long was bad enough ... wasting £110 on tickets was not great news either ... but far worse was sitting there knowing that you’re missing what is possibly a once in a lifetime chance to catch a collaboration between two of your all-time favourites. The pain was great ... the pain is still great. We got to Knebworth in ’86 and to the tribute gig in Wembley in ’92. managed to catch Paul Rodgers twice too. But Manchester 2005 was not to be. I am gutted. |

I would kill some one! |
| Dr.Dan 05.05.2005 09:00 |
Well, there are three bodies lying here in my office. A couple more and the anger may begin to subside.... |
| Erin 05.05.2005 09:06 |
I think I would have gone ballistic.. SO sorry! :-S |
| We Are The Champions 05.05.2005 09:08 |
F****** hell!! I'd be absolutely furious and totally gutted!! If it was me I wouldn't let anyone within 100 yards for fear of being killed!! I feel sorry for you!! |
| wstüssyb 05.05.2005 09:11 |
I would email brian at his soap box and have him get you tix to another UK show for free, im sure he can pull some strings! |
| Dr.Dan 05.05.2005 09:21 |
Okay, thanks for that ... email sent! You can but try. :-( |
| Erin 05.05.2005 09:33 |
I suppose I can't feel tooo sorry for you, though, considering you saw Knebworth! ;-) |

| Lisser 05.05.2005 09:39 |

Whilst you're on to Mr May would you care to mention that you were supposed to meet a couple who had managed to miss the M62 mayhem and get to the concert - but their enjoyment was marred by the fact that their friends hadn't turned up? Just a thought Dan! Your progress - or lack of was being followed by the immediate crowd surrounding us. Over one hour after the second phone call and you were still in the same part of the motorway people started to give up hope. No consolation but you missed a great gig. |
| kerfuffle87 05.05.2005 10:36 |
Omg, im really sorry, i would definately kill someone!aaah |

I would leave my car in traffic and run to the concert!! You can go to Hide Park. Don´t miss. Take care |
| Flashman 05.05.2005 15:06 |
Rotten luck. Any chance of sparing a thought for the poor folk involved in the pile up? Thought not. |

Great story. I tell ya, I just love this guy! Definitely the classiest act in music. Good to know you'll be going to the gig, Doc. |
| Dr.Dan 08.07.2005 05:37 |
hmmm, it's been moved to Friday 15th ... and my band has a gig that night so I can't go. |
| Bobby_brown 08.07.2005 09:12 |
Cancel your gig and go. Your ticket was given to you by the big man because the reasons we all know, so it's like giving away a present that Brian has sent to you. But, you're the one who knows. In case you can't go, at least guive the ticket to someone who deserves it. Take care |
