Im very curious on that.. if anyone attended to this concerts please tell about ;D
Wembley nights were my favourite DS Concerts, especially the concert of the 10th July because we have the pro shot recording (I wait for anyday appears the complete source :-[ :-[)

I wasn't even born then, but let me say for the record — I'm stupid enough to think that Wembley Arena was Wembley Stadium, this confusion continued right till this year, when I was watching some Live Aid documentaries. I have to admit, that I'm stupid, but could've they come up with some different kind of name for this arena? I wonder how many hundreds and thousands (millions?) of people were confused by Wembley Arena vs. Wembley stadium moniker.

To me, "Stadium" was the key word ;D
Nowadays the arena is called "SSE Arena", but will be always Wembley Arena for us, like it will be always Hammersmith Odeon despite the lot of changes the name suffered, being "Eventim Apollo" the last one...

Comparing the Wembley Arena to Wembly Stadium, i suppose that it´s a very difference in size (Wembley Stadium is bigger, obviusly)

There are people here that saw DS in Newcastle in 1979, and in Dortmund (or was it Werchter?) in 1980 or 81...

I often think about DS playing four dates at the Edinburgh Playhouse in December 1985 and me sitting 25 minutes along the road not knowing a thing about it. Okay, I was 10 at the time but I was a fan then and would love to have seen the band on my favourite, and legendary, tour. Managed to catch them in 1991 by fluke when a saw a small announcement in the back of a newspaper.
