Jules · The biggest Geldof fan in the world, bar none!

I saw it and saw Bob

Not a clue!!! Whatever it was, whereever it came from, he seemed happy to be holding it

Rita · House on Fire

I saw it as well. Wasn't it fantastic. Mouse you are just so going to love seeing him live when you eventually do!

By the way where do you get BBC7?

Mark Boyle · House on Fire

Yeah, I saw it after all by keeping my DVD writer running when I realised we were being shown edited highlights rather than the gig live - BBC Scotland making a complete pig's breakfast of the whole show.

We never got to see "The Great Song Of Indifference", despite the fact it was a Top 20 hit across Europe on its release

the shirt was a Renfrewshire United one, that is the local football team for Murrayfield - as far as i'm aware.

I was lucky enough to go to Murrayfield last week as i live just down the road and it was the best day of my life! it was my first ever concert, and i will remember it forever!

i got my mum to tape it at home and i was disappointed that they didn't show the great song of indifference, it was truly amazing! but rat trap was fantastic too!

GO BOB!

wow, sounds fab, wish i was there! really really wish i was there. no such luck though.

did you see it on the tv yeh? it was by pure chance that i got to go, and i have my mate to thank for asking me to go with her as no-one is as mad about bob and the work he does as i am!

well hopefully there won't be any need for another Live 8 concert in the future. but i hope that you get to see Geldof and the Boomtown Rats live one day! who knows, i might too and i can hear more than two songs next time!

My husband had taped the Murrayfield gig as was broadcast on BBC2 Scotland, and I was disappointed that "The Great Song of Indifference" wasn't shown.

On the day I actually thought that the audience really got behind this number more so than "Rat Trap", possibly because it's easier to sing along with if you've no prior knowledge...........?From the stands where we were I could see hundreds of couples swinging about arm in arm on the pitch during TGSOI. I think the meaning of the lyric was lost on the poor souls, and it was ironic that this was enjoyed more so than "Rat Trap" which was a far bigger hit in its day. Bob had introduced the song as an "old Scottish folk song" which had them totally foxed.

Mouse you really have to see Bob perform live one day. You'll be blown away, though I warn you there's nearly as much talking as there is singing! (The man could talk for Ireland.) He's a born story teller and very funny but sometimes I feel sorry for his band (especially Pete Briquette who's lived the stories) as they've probably heard it all many times. Having said that I saw Bob perform twice in Belfast in the last few years, and he didn't repeat the stories at all!!! (Obviously there's a lot of material to work from!)
