The festival was great.
OMG...Echo and The Bunnymen got on stage and the lead singer messed up his cue...couldn't hit the notes, I mean his voice would crack and sputter out!, tried to sing the same song again, left the stage...the rest of the band followed, came back, tried to sing another song, couldn't do it...threw down his mic, left the stage, the band followed never to return!!! Yes, crazy and erratically typed, just as the whole situation was!
I could go on and will if you want to know, but, throughout the day, Citizen Cope, They Might Be Giants, Garbage, Sum 41, Social Distortion, BILLY IDOL, Coldplay and FOO FIGHTERS, ROCKED!!!
Of course we were in the PIT on the field, but not all the way up front. It was so much fun. Got a little burned but I did use 30spf more than once & a hat, so I know it would have been worse otherwise. Absolutely no drinking alcohol! People still think that is the concert experience...not for an all day event. I drank about 8 - 10 20oz. bottles of electrolyte enhanced water and only went to the toilet 3 times all day! Dancing, go-going, making sure I didn't get crushed or squished, preventing the crowd surfers from crashing down and breaking their necks and walking all day - it was so much fun!!!
Several males with pierced nipples and very interesting hardware...so sexy. *thoughtful smile*
Guy noticing my Spider-Man shirt told me I was wearing the coolest shirt ever and that he loved when he saw people in his merchandise. I said, "Hi Parker!" He said he had to change his name because everyone knew that one and he hasn't told anyone. I said, "Your secret is safe with me," putting a finger to my lips. Oh if I were single... heehee
The two 17yr olds that we were "chaperoning" were tuckered out by about 16:30 and we laughed at them...kids these days.
Billy Idol was ripped...smart man. Obvious he understands that muscle atrophy is in his near future and keeping on top of that with weight lifting. He was full of energy and fun and considerate (gave his water to some of the people upfront and complained that people in the back needed to stop pushing because stage front folks were getting a little crushed). He was great!
Rain while Billy was on stage turning into a thunderstorm. Got soaked from shoulders to waist...bodies too packed together for the rain to get to jeans. Everyone was told to clear the pit/field after Idol and we didn't, then we did after about 25min. So inevitable that the rain stopped 5min after we left so we lost our prime spot! Prime because Chris Martin of Coldplay and David Grohl of Foo Fighters jumped into the EMS/Security area in the center of the pit - WHERE WE HAD BEEN BEFORE WE FINALLY DECIDED SAYING "FUCK YOU" TO THE LIGHTNING AND CONCERT STAFF WASN'T GOING TO WORK!!!!! - shaking hands with the people that were there. It would have/should have been us!
The concert promptly ended at 23:30 City noise ordinance. Had to run to catch the Metro with blistered feet and aching low backs...including the 17yr olds! HA!
We got everyone home and arrived at our house close to 2:00. Bed about 3:00 and I got up at...what 9:00!?! little late on my schedule :-P
