I can see justification for all those points to be honest FB, I just managed to turn on my 'annoying twats' filter and blocked them out. It's had a lot of research and development, that twat filter
I liked it when some pissed up fella started shouting 'Rock and roll' during Heroin, and someone informed him they weren't playing the Loaded LP.
It was too quiet to really get
properly engrossed in. I was expecting radically changed arrangements (I'll never ever make that mistake again after the first time I saw Bob Dylan
) so was quite interested in how they did it. To be perfectly honest I'd love to hear a recording of it because there were blatantly loads of subtleties that just weren't coming through properly on the PA. I think noise complaints from Sound City last year probably hamstrung their ability to really crank it up, and the wind didn't help, adding a phasing effect to the whole mix.
Also the venue was absolutely wank, as you say. No disagreement there.
I really enjoyed it, but can definitely see why people may have gripes with it, especially at £50. I almost jibbed the whole thing off in the afternoon as I was too hot by far all day in work but dragged my arse out and am glad I did. The cycle down was very enjoyable. Not so much the one back, dehydrated and possibly a little drunk (I only had one drink before I arrived, but it was an unholy homemade bottled cocktail of gin, limoncello, mint and elderflower, which deffo made me the campest man in Vauxhall after I parked my bike up and drank it while walking to the venue) to be tackling Mount Pleasant at midnight.
