Just read about the queues to look at a coffin which made me wonder…..
What’s the longest amount of time you’ve waited in a queue and what was it for?

I queued overnight, so about 12 hours, to get tickets to see Bowie do a charity gig at Hammersmith Odeon
It was quite good fun. Once you had your spot you could come and go as others knew who you were. My mate worked round the corner so we could access his toilet. A sleeping bag on the pavement is fine for a night.

Was that summer 1983? I remember McCulloch talking about that in Smash Hits saying the audience was full of badly dressed non fans. |

It was 30th June 1983 - just a bit before the UK leg of the Serious Moonlight tour It was the moment he went from being a cult into a more mainstream artist with the Let's Dance album I can't remember much about the audience - certainly the first few rows, those that queued up all night, were pretty hardcore |
