I think so

I can't remember
Worth it 'cept for the queue for the bar, fortunately we had a camelpak full of vodka.


I may have seen you walking about

is your name Humphrey Littleton?


Yes

Yes it is.


...

R.I.P. then


i went in a big group for this

one of my mates didn't have a ticket. He turned up quite willing to pay £50 for a ticket from a tout, but managed to buy one from the first tout we encountered for £25, £5 less than any of the rest of us paid in advance. The tout literally just said "£25 mate" not even an attempt to sell for more. It was a real ticket as well. Astonishing.

Later we managed to get 20 people into the area directly in front of the stage (which was full by the time we got there) using just one wristband we borrowed from someone's brother. One person goes in, takes it off, leaves, says they haven't been out yet, gets a new one, repeat 20 times. Genius!

Later we managed to get the coach back to London for free.

Quite a day of blagging. And good music.


best bit

during the "Rain Down" part of Paranoid android, it bloody well did rain down


twas

fucking boiling that day and no way of getting a beer, the queues for the two bars crisscrossed each other in the middle, then it pissed down. They were brilliant that day, sigur ros were good too. Got in for free coz my tutor new johnny greenwoods wife. Great weekend - went to the british motorbike grand prix the next day and rossi won.


i can remember everyone laughing at

Sigur Ros as well


the laughing at Sigur Ros was bizarre.

I was standing in the middle of a field completely blown away, whilst thousands of people around me were laughing at Jonsi's voice. A strange experience.

They're not laughing so hard now.


i remember this.

If i remember right it was

Humphrey Littleton's Jazz Orchestra
Sigur Ros
Beck (Acosutic)
Supergrass
Radiohead

My god. What a line up!! And for £35! Good times.


don't forget

The Rock of Travolta


there was another band on too

after rock of travolta. I can't remember what they were called though.


what was this band called?

It's annoying me. I have the programme somewhere but it's at the back of a cupboard.


no i don't think so

something is telling me it is a long name. I'm not sure what this something is.


was it

meanwhile back in communist russia?


Nope.

They were just a random fairly uninteresting band.

The idea was that unsigned bands played but I had a feeling MBICR already were. Richard (argle) will know who it was, I'm sure.

The face value on my ticket was £27.50, which now seems amazingly reasonable!


Lard was

the compere....


We had to share a coach

back to London with some musical Christians who insisted on an acoustic singalong to the Radiohead songbook all the way home. Excruciating.

Best bit of the day was when the bass came in on The National Anthem. I was proper stond and nearly shat myself with excitement.


im so gutted i never went to

this show,

i do however have a bootleg of it complete with southpark cover art.

Little consilation can be taken from this.


Great

times!

I remember Sigur Ros falling totally flat though - completely the wrong time of day for them, they were on at about 2pm and no-one was listening.


I fell

asleep during Sigur Ros.


.

£25 face value


Gaz Coombes screaming "TIMMY" at the disbled area

must rank amongst the most shocking / hilarious bits of onstage banter I've ever witnessed, too...


think it was

£27.50 face value

but it was for charity, if i remember - none of the bands took a fee.


Yeah it was £27.50

If anyone had bothered to click the link I put up this morning they'd have seen this:
