LIVID - MOORE PARK 11th OCTOBER 2003

Woke up Saturday morning to some freaky kid knocking on the door asking to use the bathroom I let him in, of course, still not sure who he was but he was weeding our garden when I left 3 hours later.

Met up with my mates and got on the bus (fecking trains were out of order again) and sang Shihad the whole way in. Wasted some time before the gates opened at the Fox and Lion.

Caught the end of Something With Numbers and they must have had a good set because everyone was walking away smiling. Ran over the get in the pit for Sunk Loto. Fuck I love these guys, they are always a great band to start you day off with, went nuts in Vinegar Stroke as always. Tried to make my way to the other side of stage for Gelbison, but the fecking T-barrier got in the way, damn I hate that thing. Rocket Science made me laugh as always, I was thinking the keyboard was going to go off the stage as well, but he clung onto it for dear life thats for sure!

Got onto the barrier for Shihad, and it was fucking awesome. Jon climbed into the crowd right in front of me and I got to hug him, as well as getting his crotch shoved in my face, but hey I aint complaining! The guy next to me got the set list, damn my stumpy arms!!

Stayed in during those dancer people, what the fuck was that!? But at least it gave my ribs a breather, after being crushed hardcore into the barrier.

Frenzal Rhomb were up next, not a big fan, but I needed the barrier for Living End so I stayed. It was a fun set, had a good laugh at "Australian Fuckwit", glad to hear Punch In The Face, but would have liked to have heard Racist and You Are Not My Friend. A bunger went off behind us and scared the living shit out of me.

Up next were The Living End, the greatest Aussie rock band going around. I think I was the only one singing along to Tabloid Magazine which was really odd. They were once again fucking awesome, the pit was intense and I seriously fucked up my ribs, but it was definatly worth it.

Quickly ran out of the pit to catch the end of Goldfinger. Got to see 99 Red Balloons, SCORE!!! Did some funtime moshing for the last 3 songs, they were great fun.

Waited around for Less Than Jake, squeezed my way onto the barrier and had a great time, there was a massive death cirle behind us and you could feel the people slamming into you, it must have been fucking awesome back there!!

Stayed on the barrier for Turbonegro, some fucking weird ass Norweigan band who threw blood all over the crowd, it was fucking disgusting. Shit band, shit set, shit fucking weird ass Norweigan people around you who kept trying to hump your back. Not fun, but I wanted the bar for the Gimmes so it was bearable.

Up next were the Gimme Gimmes!!! YEHAWWWWWW!!! The boys rocked it up and I fucking loved every minute of it. Don't Cry For Me Argentina, Somewhere Over The Rainbow, Stairway to Heaven, had a call to make to my favourite Tassie, Riz, scored on the timing with All My Lovin' being sent down the line. It was a fucking awesome time.

Had an awesome day. Sad to have missed White Stripes, but I saw them at BDO a few years ok so it is ok. The Roots I am catching on Friday as well so that's ok. Linkin Park, meh the sacrafice was worth it, I am sure I will see them again soon. And Jurassic 5, but I have seen them a few times.

Can't wait til Wednesday for Less Than Jake. But more so BRING ON THURSDAY!

GIMME GIMME GIMME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
