Yes it was , pretty good I must admit .
All the grandstand seating was lit up like pop bumpers .
I can just see the young generation  watching this on the tele " hey dad what's a pinball , can we buy one  "

Yes.. that was it.. Kaiser Chiefs singing Pinball Wizard with a load of MODS on Lambretta's... which was odd as Roger Daultrey and Pete Thownsend played right at the end and youd think theyd sing this being the writers of the song and the #1 band of the MOD movement??

Kaiser Chiefs are a good band but it was quite odd.
