I’ve seen U2 only (out of that lot of yours) at Murrayfield. Would love to have seen the Police. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had never heard of them before then but they upstaged The Police, there's YouTube footage of the full day. Saw the Police at Ingliston at hogmanay around the same time and although they were good, Jools Holland was way better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
