Yes I did!!! By the man himself!!
This was of course not a Rick Astley only show I went to see, he was supporting Peter Kay (WTF right??) at the MEN during his "Tour The Doesn't Tour Tour".
I also nearly got thrown out for taking photos of Rick Astley, they only did the "don't take photos" announcement after Rick Astley had finished.
Seriously though, why can't you take photos during gigs and things? I wasn't using flash, like most of the tards in the arena, so I wasn't distracting the act. I'm not going to sell them, that same I guess applies to most people there taking photos. Even if I put them online, it's free publicity right? No ones going to look at my photos and then decide they have seen enough so won't bother buying tickets!!
The other annoyance from the night was the MEN sound system, which broke during the second half.
It was still outputting sound, but along with it came a high pitched whining noise, it was horrible, really got inside my head. It was just the right pitch to give you a headache.
I could see the technicians running round at the bottom trying to fix it, but they failed, so the noise remained for the whole second half. It was obvious that Peter was distracted by it, he stumbled on his words a bit at first, obviously not expecting the noise to stay. When it did, he just stared talking faster to fill the silence, which certainly helped, so thanks for that Mr Kay! Boo to the MEN and their crappy technicians.
Anyway, at the Apollo next week for Flight Of The Conchords, can't wait!
