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
Ah, what a day <3
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 think I only paid 31/32 even after booking fees.....
and they encored with Creep!
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.
dustball or someone?
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.
I think so

The face value on my ticket was £27.50, which now seems amazingly reasonable!
Lard was
the compere....
that was too much for me at the time
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.
my ticket says £25 i think
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.
Yours is a fake then. See mine above!
:-p
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...
What, really?
I don't remember that
...
think it was
£27.50 face value
but it was for charity, if i remember - none of the bands took a fee.
hehe, took a pee :D
Yeah it was £27.50
If anyone had bothered to click the link I put up this morning they'd have seen this:
