KISS was one of those Athletic howlers where the rain go's sideways. ( how did i remember that

) Allso went to Fleetwood Mac there too.

Sinclair was part of the road crew??

We had something similar at the Western Springs Concert, but it was smoke not water...

Don't remember rain at the KISS concert. I walked home down the road to Island Bay afterwards. Shame Athletic Park no longer there...is a retirement village now

Once again it shows the venue is one of the best outdoors ampitheatre,amazing how word of mouth gets round,Stevie Nicks obviously told the group her verdict when last here,and as they say it's now history,bugger I couldn't get there.

Indeed.....we demolished it.

That job bought me a new work wagon.

The wife and and a couple of her friends just headed out of town, on route to New Plymouth, They looked pretty happy to be going.

I booked out an entire room for them at Boobs establishment.

My parents saw them last night (pissed I couldn't afford to join them) said the concert was amazing... especially Mr. Buckingham. Dad said the rain didn't detract from their enjoyment. Lucky bastards

Especially since I won't even be here, ill be out of here by early next month & heading to South East Asia

edit: in the time I have been writing this response ive taken another 2 calls for this damn concert.........make it stop, please make it stop

Negative. I have space on the 19th but im holding it back for tourists that have no clue this concert is on & I do have (limited) space on the 20th if you would like to book, but you will need to be quick, it will all but be gone by the end of this weekend I would imagine. I will be doing the same for the 20th & holding back some space for our regular trade (international tourists).

Can me and all my druggy hippy hare krisna mates sleep in your lounge in March for WOMAD?

mmmmmmmmm... WOMAD

It was a difficult choice between FM and WOMAD but already seen FM and WOMAD is 3 days' worth of music for less $s.

Looks like tonight's weather may see the 'second concert' goers enjoying a better Naki summer evening. Enjoy all
