mattrik3 Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 It's quite funny as a lot of my friends went to their first festival last year(we were 20 then, I started going to T when I was 15)they made me feel like such a dad, asking me loads of stuff. I felt like the gaurdian or something. Never again lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Warriors Dance_ Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 It makes me wonder if i was like that at my first festival. First went 2 T when i was 16 in 2003. Only went with one other mate! Spent most of the weekend by myself tho seeing bands and speaking to randoms! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattrik3 Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 I remember my first festival. Could not believe what was going on around me. Was like going to a different planet where rules don't apply and your are free! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul ™ Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 I can't compare but it's only logical that their skills get better and better with practice, as with anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattrik3 Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 Yeah I know what you mean. What did you think when comparing festivals? Rocknessssss aye? ;p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killiedave Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 Not been on eFests in a good while, and reading this thread has got me well up for the summer fests. Went to Rockness for the first time last year and had an absolute blast. The reasons already stated by others means it just shades it for me over T. If its anything like last year Rockness 09 is gonna be one of the highlights of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Warriors Dance_ Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 That’s a hard question to answer mate. Did I enjoy one more than the other? Cant say I did, went with different people to each one and had an amazing time at T, Rockness & Connect T - I find there is more random banter but that could just be cos theres more people. Always managed to see loads of bands I love. More people I know go 2 T than any other fest & the party in the campsite is awesome. But its too big & too many people. Wont stop me going tho! Rockness - Only been once which was last year. Site is fantastic, good food & choice of booze, atmosphere was incredible (such a breath of fresh air from T), more punter friendly, weather was outstanding. Only bad thing about rockness was we had to leave on the Monday. Connect - Only been once which was last year. Also loved the site here next to Inverarie Castle & surrounded by tree's & hills, again good food & choice of booze, probably my favourite line-up of the 3. But, weather was crap, campsite was a bog & not enough toilets. So id have 2 say Rockness comes out on top. But if the weather had been good at connect then that may have been better. There was just something special about connect for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattrik3 Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 Fair enough. I went a drive to Inverarie last year on a hot day. Was gorgeous. Would be great to have a festival there. Shame you had the bad weather though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vinylvictim Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 aww waw! Yeah ok you can be cool lol. Have to agree with Benchbaddah though. Their set at rockness was soooo good. Been listening to it the last 2 days in my car. It's just so so so so good, cant help but drive along dancing edit : No idea what your Daft Punk experience was like so i'm not saying 07 was better or anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Warriors Dance_ Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 It's a big regret of mine not going in 07, not that i'd be able to compare it with 97 - either i'm too old to remember or i was in too much of a state at the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattrik3 Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 That's a shame for you. 07 just came out of no where after an hour and a half wait. It really was a spectacular gig. I don't even think "gig" does it any favours. It was almost like the gods of music decided to come on down to Rockness and strut their stuff. Was truly a breathtaking show.

_Warriors Dance_ Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 Any ideas where i can listen to the set from that night! Absolutely gutted that 2008 was my first rockness! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain333 Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 I will try get a hold of the files and think of something but for now that will have to do. Amazing set though!!!! Good Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattrik3 Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 I have it on my computer but not sure how I would get it to you lol. Have a look for the "Daft Punk - Live @ Coachella Belfast" set it's bascilly the same set. You will probably have to download it as a torrent though. I will try get a hold of the files and think of something but for now that will have to do. Amazing set though!!!! Good Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Warriors Dance_ Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Cheers, Im listening 2 that just now! Dunno if its a good idea tho! Its amazing and its just making me feel worse about missing it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
