June 21st 1975... About 75,000-80,000... No. Title: Re: BB at Wembley Post by: Shady on April 20, 2008, 09:38:47 AM Thx a lot for the info Andrew!!
Title: Re: BB at Wembley Post by: Ian on April 20, 2008, 10:30:44 AM Am I correct though-that the BBs were also in Wembley Arena on June 6 and 7 1980, as well as on July 19 1987, Sept 7 1989, June 24 and 25 1991 and June 29 and 30 1993? Now is this venue different from the stadium?
Title: Re: BB at Wembley Post by: Andrew G. Doe on April 20, 2008, 11:02:48 AM Correct - Wembley Arena is a much smaller indoor venue, in the same complex as Wembley Stadium. Originally built for the 1934 Empire Games and called Wembley Pool (go on, guess why...), depending on how the seating is configured it can hold up to 12,500 people.

Title: Re: BB at Wembley Post by: Alex on April 20, 2008, 08:27:16 PM Only things missing are Blondie and Ricky; wish they had stayed on a couple of more years...if it weren't for that damned Steve Love calling Blondie a "n-----"...
BTW, cool pics...didn't know Mike was into the turban and gold vest in '75...thought he didn't do that until after 15 Big Ones came out. Title: Re: BB at Wembley Post by: RickD on April 20, 2008, 11:25:30 PM and apparently it is a crime these days not to be a huge life-long Mike Love devotee!! ;D - just kidding, Sheriff :smokin
