I never said I didn't have great times at festivals.. Just that my days of such things are over. (in theory).. haha..
I had some bloody awesome times..
I remember sitting in a circle and taking turns honking on a peacey outside on the grass just before running in to see Fatboy Slim at the '99 BDO.. Cops just watching and laughing - so long as people weren't fighting or being violent, they didn't give a sh!t..
(Actually, i seem to remember running in to you at one of the Soundwaves at Eastern Creek back in the day, with the Fuller boys, Abba was there too?? Musta been around 2010)

Nothing compares to the intimacy and pure feeling/energy in a small venue show. Fvck stadium shows right up the jacksie..
I understand HUGE bands (ie Bon Jovi, Metallica, etc) only play stadium shows these days and thats the only way you will really get to see them, fair enough, but if you had to choose...
