Smashing Pumpkins

[theleedslads]

I was right at the front and was suprised how many smiles he cracked to be honest,the performance was good and the circlepits were good.i enjoyed them alot!

[theleedslads]

Not one member of beady eye smiled,they were terrible. Smadhing pumpkins definately looked happy to be there!

[Porcelina]

Billy loved every minute of it and so did the rest of the band, they were genuinely taken aback at the response given how much **** they get from British fans these days.

Humble pie was served up a-plenty.

[When Jokers Attack]

Made my way over to The Other after Cave and arrived half way through Disarm. They got a big crowd from where I was standing but could have been a lot of people waiting for xx. Was happy I got to see so much of the set.

Today, Bullet and Stand Inside Your Love done me just fine.

wonder why eavis won't book many heavy bands

Roskilde

[dip]

I see a lot of bands, but that set is up there with the best. Just a real sense of magic about the occasion.

[cathalc08]

While he wasn't big on crowd reaction, I think the David Bowie cover was the turning point. The crowd went wild for it and you could tell the band stepped it up a gear after that, I was nearer the back and the crowd was a bit muted to that point.

During that one-two punch of Tonight, Tonight and Bullet everyone I could see went mental.

Roskilde

So people keep saying but A: that was a while back now, crowd barriers/management are much better B: Pearl Jam have started doing festivals again and C: I don't buy it, as Glasto DOES book heavier acts, I'm just saying it would be nice to have a few more seeing as how most other genres get a good outing.

[redmosquito]

Yeah I don't really buy the Roskilde argument anymore. Crowd management has totally changed since then and the tradegy wasn't caused by the type of music being played but by the conditions. In reality the same thing could have happened regardless of who was on stage at the time.

I think it comes down to the fact that the Eavis' don't massively like rock music or rock music crowds so they tend to stay away from rockier acts.

[STEVEYBOY]

Our group loved it and thought they sounded very tight, even from further back at the Other stage

[rexclark]

Must admit, I had a tear or two in my eye during Tonight Tonight. It was simply beautiful.

Gah. Left during the Bowie cover as wasn't taken with the set up to that point.

Am I getting carried away or did everyone else really enjoy the Oceania tracks?

[JamesT977]

Nope i enjoyed them too i've never listened to them until that point and think that i might actually begin to give the rest of their stuff a go. They won me over with that setlist, the buzz afterwards was unbelievable

[rexclark]

I enjoyed them but I think the sound on Billy's vocals was poor for the first two which kind of ruined it for me.

[theleedslads]

Just uploaded a video to youtube I took from the moshpit during Bullet....
