This was the last gig I attended at the legendary Leeds venue. Following the demise of The Duchess there was a void of equally intimate live venues on the Leeds music scene for a number of years. As we neared the Millennium, the building was converted into a Hugo Boss store. A sad sign of the times, as bands were replaced by brands.

Although I’m not a massive fan of U2, credit has to be given for the ‘Pop Mart’ tour and its spectacular stage design. Of course, with it being the heart of British summertime, it poured with rain.
