KISS plus Rage Against The Machine, Skunk Anansie, Thunder and Three Colours Red and L7. Got freebies from the NME and drank all the money I saved. Kind of lost it about five songs in and ended up in Covent Garden. Finsbury Park
Jacques Anthony Reynolds and Matthew Scott, Jack basically, I preferred the whole band, but still good. Spitz
The Darkness I dragged Neil and Camilla, of The Face and Popbitch along. IT WAS ME THAT MADE THE DARKNESS POPLIAR! Bull and Gate
Monsters of Rock AC/DC, Metallica, Motley Crue, Queensryche, and the Black Crowes. A pretty special line up at the top of the bill, shame it was the shortest Donington bill ever. Got a coach up from Portsmouth. m/ Castle Donington
