Human Robot
Its been almost been 48hrs since I experienced some of this...
It had been almost an hour and a half since Soulwax had played their last tune and the crowd were restless for a beat. I booed along with the rest of them when 40 minutes after their scheduled time they still were no announcements made. What the fuck was going on? Technical hitch? Eh,would you leave someone on hold for 40 minutes without telling them the reason why? Or worse still - they were not on site. Thats my bitch about Rockness 2007 - communication issues. One side of the tent was removed to either cool the continualy packed tent or allow the thousands who queued for hours to catch a glimpse of these two mysterious Frenchman. Start of their set...
I managed to get in the tent just before they ripped one of the sides off which was the icing on the cake for me. Ruth was an essential, just not fucking practical. Mels kick ass idea of blagging a bin bag fromn one of the vendors (Thank you Mrs Cup of Tea Stall and a big FUCK YOU to the Sausage Man)and sticking our jackets in it which then wouldnt matter if it was on the floor. Perfect considering that we ended up on the original barrier round the tent which everyone had pissed against! This barrier was no end of fun. A gap of about 7 feet between me and the crowd outside. Looking back, throwing shapes with the most excellent pair of fluffy neon gloves at the crowd with their infectious smiles staring back at me. I was very happy and danced my ass off.
The next clip rolled in at a very good time for me and I'm sitting here with goosebumps with it on repeat! Thank you Youtube and those people who can be arsed taking pics at gigs.
Pit Stop....need to eat.
