Was that wonderful warm May evening really 10 years ago?! I could not believe my luck at getting a place. How well I remember when we (the fans!) were finally let in, and I found myself right at the front. OOTB was special...always a great teenage memory for me. It was an amazing evening, and a great introduction of what was to come during that mad, wonderful summer and autumn of 2001. Cheers, everyone..
