Saw them together with Wilko Johnson a couple of years ago. John Otway is totally barking but is a national treasure...

U2 - silly amount of money - but my wife is a huge fan and never seen them (I keep reminding her that I saw them at the Hammy Pally on the War tour in 83).
Still she is indulging me with Neil Young, Bob Dylan and BB King - although 1 U2 ticket = all 3 of "my" gigs!
