A little of Eugene's abuse towards the security at the beginning of the video. It's not on here, bu his cry of "I'M A GROWN MAN!" cracked me up at the actual gig.

Liz, you need to remove the '.' at the end of the link. I've clicked on it about a million and seven times before realizing that was the problem.

Not a bad little festivals but I would not go back. They need a later curfew so they can give the bands a bit longer on stage. Great seeing Eugene up jumping around with Iggy during the stage invasion. I was up the front for Gogol but towards the back for Iggy. A fair bit of stupid can throwing going on but that seems to be part of British festivals now days. Saw one person get sconned good and proper from one. Bumped into Sergey making his way through the crowd during Iggy. We were lucky with the weather.

Yeah, t'was alright. They couldn't possibly have fucked up the sound more than they did, whoever it was... but as the gig went on, things got better and it was actually great fun. But I agree with someone who said that these hour-long gigs are like a tease, you get all worked up and then suddenly they end. Meh! More more more, please.

I enjoyed being in the sunshine having a cigarette and dancing to the band... in the winter it'll be back to dark, squishy sweaty venues... not that there's anything wrong with that, but the festival shows were a nice change Smile
