Sorry for all the questions. I'm just becoming increasingly more fascinated by these shows, and anyone who was at them...

Certainly there were queues, but I was not a queuer then and am not a queuer now so I'm afraid I can't help you there.
What I will say is that I was always impressed by the number of female fans the band attracted who were prepared to get down the front and fight for their right to be there against the 'moshers' and stage divers who thought the front was their territory. It was unusual for a rock band at the time, and was one of the many things that made them so appealing. It still impresses me now, even though the stage diving and the like has died out.
