Got manhandled to get in again today, they take the security checks seriously.
Got here about 1:40 to see Vaccines, very
cool band – loved it. Went and saw the Big Pink who I didn’t really get into but Dave stayed and I ducked off to see Grace Potter and the Nocturnals. When
I got there she sounded like a polished pop star, bit boring really but she
hopped of the piano and got a big grungier and then she was pretty good.
Out in front of the Main stage
for Kaiser Chiefs. Ricky Wilson is a fantastic front man and the Kasier Cheifs
are full of energy but then are getting on a bit. He hopped into the crowd and
went to the bar and was just getting all around the festival.
Went and saw Andrew Bird who I was
really impressive with. Great set – will definitely be chasing up some more of
his music.
Was in the bar for a sing along set of Noel Gallagher, again his
time might have passed but I dig Oasis and great to hear him sing a few of
those songs and to sing along to.
Went over the Sahara tent to see a bit of
Sebastian Ingrosso, who is just another DJ playing the same set in the same Sahara tent (an epileptics worst nightmare I might add - flashing lights)
Saw a bit of Kasabian on the way to lineup
for Bon Iver. He/they was great and was super close. What to say – he and his band
have a huge dynamic range, hushed whisper to huge crash bang. Amazing set!
His set list was;
Perth (Whooo - Im from there!!!)
Minnesota WI
Holocene
Blood Bank
Hinnom TX
Wash
Skinny Love
Calgary
Lisbon OH
Best/Rest
The Wolves Act I/II
For Emma
As we were leaving Bon Iver people were
pushing in to see Radiohead – crazy busy.
Radiohead played lots of new stuff, but I saw House of Cards so I was happy.
Grace Potter thrashing around.
Ricky Wilson of the Kasier Chiefs performing everywhere but on stage
Andrew Bird, really great set!!
