Clear views at Sex Pistols 1996...
It was the summer of 1996 and my friends and I had scored tickets to the Sex Pistols reunion tour. I was hella excited as it was to be my first gig, and indeed festival ever...

We arrived and spent the day drinking piss poor warm beer out of those big plastic cups, watching the warm up acts, and fending off an old wierdo who seemed interested in making friends with a group of 5 15 yr old boys, then trying to fight us all when we told him to get bent and go molest someone else.

But I digress.

Cut forward to the main event, 50,000 plus people surge forward to watch the show, and the major flaw in our cunning plan became apparent; namely that being 15, we had neither the height to view the show, nor the requistite body mass to barge to the front. And, as seems to always happen to me, we end up stood behind the tallest godamned people at the entire event. Sighing, and accepting our fate, we try to peer around whilst rockin out to the aged pensioners on stage. Suddenly, taller and hairier of the bikers spots us and motions 'up' to us. Assuming he meant crowd sufing we both eagerly agree, only to find ourselves hoisted up on to the towering chaps' shoulders!

To this day Im not sure if they just enjoyed the feeling of pubescent thighs around their necks, or if they were just cool guys, but we both got to watch the whole show from about 8feet in the air!

Awesome.
