Well, we got in there at about 2pm. By that stage, the only parking that was left was on the roof. But oh well.
I noticed this year they added alot more markets, and that big pink castle which was actually a "bar", and "lilyworld" bah. It just felt so compacted, like there was no room to move around in there with all the changes and new additions they made. Normally when i used to go in i knew where everything was, this year, they moved the ID band place. That took awhile to get ID bands, everyone pushing in.
Anyway
Went and watched
DJ John Ferris, he put on an excellent set. We would of kept dancing although we had to keep stopping cos it was so hot. By the way, what ever happened to the air conditioning in there?!?!?
Then came
Sarah Blasko. I must say, she wasn't singing as great as Splendour in the Grass '05.
Then caught a bit of
Mudvayne. Not my thing but they sounded pretty good. Walked around for a bit.
Tried to catch
Henry Rollins spoken word. By the time we got there it was so crowded, couldn't squeeze in anywhere and couldn't here anything. I was very pissed off by that stage.
Then we watched
The Living End from the stands. Sound wasn't great, but as usual thats what you get for being in the stands. P.S. did living end get a new drummer?
Then came
Franz Ferdinand Once again, not as great as at Splendour In the Grass '04. But still had a good time watching them. Missed
End of Fashion for Franz, but i'm sure i'll catch a gig of EOF some time.
Missed
Cut Copy So tired, hot, and irritated by that point. Now i must admit
Iggy Pop still knows how to rock. Why he played "I wanna beyour dog" twice.. who knows. The second time he sung it was a bit of a let down. He should have just sung it once. Was good to see him bring up some of the fans on stage. I can't believe how loud they were playing. For me the sound was great. For my best friend she felt like she was going deaf.
Then we watched a bit of
The White Stripes. I had enough by that stage. Just wanted to go home. They weren't playing that great and the sound was so shit at the stands.
So that was the day. Over all, i'd say it was one of the worse big day outs i have been to.
