My first ever gig (was 15). Got there early with my brother & his girlfriend. Queued for hours in the snow but worth it because there were only 5 people between me and the stage (no seats in those days!). Jools Holland was the support. The Police were late coming on and when they did Sting had his arm in a sling (was this because of one of the legendary backstage bustups??). Sting's roadie Danny played bass cos Sting couldn't with his arm being bad. It was quite simply awesome and can still remember it really well over 25 years later...
