I agree with all of that.
I found it so easy going. As you say, so stress free. Picked up wrist band in the city in U-Music hotel. Toilet and bar situation was grand.
The weather in Madrid was mental though wasnt it. Crazy thunder and lightening.
It does look like they lost their conkers on the festival though. But it was fairly short notice comparatively. Hopefully they can solidify it with a proper 9 month lead in.
I had to sell my second ticket on ticket swap and only got 85 quid for it on the day itself.
You couldnt give them away.
LCD are just class.
Ive had a very "end of an era" type year or two music wise.
Seen Interpol do TOTBL, Arcade Fire do Funeral, Bloc Party do Silent Alarm, Death Cab/Postal Service, Arcade Monkeys look like they are gone for a while (or for good according to another poster who is in the know) and then LCD this weekend.
I actually looked at LCD on stage this weekend and thought that some of them were starting to look old.
Im losing my edge.....the kids are coming up from behind. But I was there.....
