Perhaps I am showing my age, but I don't have a clue as to who UB40 is....But have a great time and behave yourself. No Mosh-Pit for you !!

I saw them about 20 years ago state side. Didn't know they were still together. Hope it is/was a good show.
I'm planning on pouring money into my retirement plan, and in 20 years when I do retire, I can pull out all the money and buy a pair of tickets to a Rolling Stones concert!!

Awesome! Have been one of my favorites for over twenty years. To this day, one of my favorite songs remains, "Please don't make me cry."
"You say your gonna leave me, I'm beggin you to stay"
Good stuff!

Oh My God I can hardly walk today!
I was up dancing all night long, they were incredible - just as good as ever and it was an amazing night.
We were all in a clearing in the middle of Sherwood Forest, surrounded by trees and it was a lovely warm balmy night. The crowd was all out for a good time, we were all singing along and we got much much more than our money's worth.
Almost all my favourites were played, Rat in Mi Kitchen was the first song so Ting Tong you owe me a tenner  The crowd went wild when Red, Red Wine came on - my all time favourite (remind me to tell THAT story sometime!) Sing our own Song was another one that got a massive response, Richerooni, they DID sing Please don't make me cry - I love that one too and it IS apt..
I've taken loads of pictures so as soon as I get my aching bones into gear I shall be posting them! (or a link at any rate!)

I don't know, I know I've heard the original but that wasn't "Reggae", I much prefer the UB40 version and especially the extended version of it! (WHICH incidentally was what they sang last night AND I'm a saddo who knew all the words to sing along!)

Robin Hood? LMAO You mean that guy in the green leotard that trips lightly through the forest with his merry men while holding his quiver and bow?
Sounds like a real danger to me.

Did you know that UB40 were all unemployed and when they formed a band and were looking for a name they took the name of the form which is used for unemployed people to claim benefit. - (UB40 - unemployment benefit 40)
