Well my day went something like this
Got to the meeting point for the bus by 9 as instructed.
Waited for bus
waited longer
cracked open a pale ale
bus comes about 20 to 10
slow bus trip as we stop for people to piss, buy piss then piss again. Some of the bus were mates and others i didnt know cos it was a coach
get there around midday we go into the d
Children Collide - only really heard rather than watched them but seemed ok
Birds of Tokyo who everyone was pumped to see. WHat a mediocre falsetto band. Pretty boring
Me and a couple of mates left halfway through them to go see little red, that was pretty cool. Walked through the crowd for ting tings which was hugeto get fresh air plus drink
found some other mates at bullet for my vallentine, watched them, not really my cup of tea but ok
Then we went over and watched Lupe Fiasco. A few of his songs are some of the only rap i can handle, kick push was awesome and superstar went allright but too much stuff in the middle i didnt know or really enjoy.
After getting out of the approproately named boiler room got some tea and chilled in the grandstand during serj tankien. He was aweful i thought, real rubbish.
Went back down into the D for The Living End. They were really fuggin good, hadnt seen them live since 04 so was good to see them again. Played prisoner of societ, west end riot second solution all torn down. Nothing off Roll On which was dissapointing, the new songs were ok live, raise the alarm was good.
After them watched the arctic monkeys, ok but not spectacular.
Went out for a bit ran into a mate n went over to boiler room line but thought f**k this and went back to the seats n watched Neil Young. Not bad i gotta say, altho still a strange choice for headline he put on a good show.
Finally after that went to dropkick murphys. Got there just as the intro music of the foggy dew started playing with them starting early. By far the best set of the night. Opened with For Boston, then famous for nothing, heroes of our past, state of massachusetts, johnny i hardly knew ya, sunshine highway, Black velvet band, bastards on parade(awesome), order is sketchy after this but there was captain kellys kitchen, Your Spirits Alive, fields of athenry, kiss me im sh*tfaced, shipping up to boston was last and then encore of Boys on the Docks. Might've forgotten a song but a really good setlist. Alot of fun in the circle type ruckus that is too be expected at such a gig.
All in all a pretty good day, apart from some of the ********s in the crowd. You get too many people there for the event rather than the actual music. Well my day went something like this
