I was nosing around online and came across something that wound back the years for me...so I thought I would share with you all...
this was the first festival I went to...and I think I picked a good one! New Order, Sugarcubes, Butthole Surfers, Spacemen 3, My Bloody Valentine, The Pogues, Loop, House Of Love, Bhundu Boys, Billy Bragg...and this was just the main stage! Everyone played about 45 minutes to an hour each, except the 2 headliners each day, who did about 75-90 minutes...
note the price too...a whopping $50 to see a field full of legends
this is widely regarded as one of New Order's finest shows, and was also one of the last times Spacemen 3 played together...
if it makes you feel any better, it rained from late Friday afternoon until Sunday morning, our tent collapsed under duress and we slept in the trunk of a car, and it was a 2 mile walk to and from town..but other than that it was AMAZING! I also started work at Rough Trade the day after it finished!
makes Lineupofloozas look like what it is - a pile of crap - doesn't it...? :)
