Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Newcastle Academy, 03 Dec 2009
A trip down memory lane -
I saw Yeah Yeah Yeahs earlier in 2009 at Lollapolooza (covering for Beastie Boys) but had to view from a distance as the crowd was huge! It was an easier show to get to the front at Newcastle, all we had to do was arrive early enough to get a good spot. Karen O and her team certainly know how to pull off a good show - great combination of dramatic costumes, playing to the crowd, lighting and a huge inflatable eyeball!!
Set list here

Depeche Mode, Chicago Lollapalooza, 07 Aug 09
August 2009 saw us head out to Chicago for the Lollapalooza festival in Grant Park ~ an easy option festival-wise as we could stay in a plush hotel instead of a grotty tent! Depeche Mode head-lined on the first night,on a day that had turned wet and cold during the afternoon. By the time DM arrived on stage the rain had stopped and spirits rose...
We managed to get a good spot in front of the sound desk - the show was amazing, with tremendous imagery used on the LED back-ground. Dave was a real mover too...

As with most festivals there was the inevitable band schedule clash - I hope to make good Kings Of Leon later in 2011.
