I can die now....
Oxegen is easily the best damn thing that's ever happened to me. Went to see;
Thursday
The Scooby Doo's - Some little known band not advertised and we named them hte scooby doo's because they kept saying scooby dooby doo
Friday
The Coronas - Simply spectacular with San Diego song and with Heroes and Ghosts, and the others where really good too, will be as big as Snow Patrol some day
Snow Patrol - Amazing singer, and a really good performer. He has that Irish charm when talking to the crowd and even invited members of the crowd up to sing, really enjoyed them despite being a long way back
BLUR! - Best individual performance, best overall performance, best show put on, best singing talent, best at getting the crowd going. After watching them, I was literally speechless. If you have not seen Blur live then you simply have not lived.
Saturday
James Morrison - What a great singer he is, simply sat back and enjoyed it without getting too pumped up or anything
Eagles of Death Metal - Was impressed (as expected) Thought that they really got the crowd going more than anything, not the best voice in the world but still class
Bloc Party - Wow... Fantastic so it was tbh, last 3 songs stole the show, Silent Alarm, Flux and of course Helicopter which was easily the best of their songs in that the crowd where more into it.
King's of Leon - Was right at the fence for this so I was, not in the pit because it was turned to absolute muck by then, and I was not about to que up to get into it and sacrifise my kick ass postition. They where not great interactors with the crowd and the way they ended it was strange as it was a song that's coming out soon that was played last and not Use Somebody which was before it. But ever song was sung to perfection. My throat was killing me after as they where the band I was most looking forward too before I went and realised that Blur are just unreal
And also had a peek into The Saturdays just to have a looksie, I was impressed to say the least.
Sunday
Lady Gaga - I was very impressed despite her spending most of the time getting changed. Poker Face stole the show as she done like a piano version into the real one. She is a very talented musician and not just another blond who dances around.
The Killers - Came so close to beating Blur... They are another band that you HAVE too see live or you have not lived. They seem to love Ireland which was great and they spoke a bit of Irish and all. Branden Fraiser was awesome so he was in terms of singing and in terms of being a showman. All these things that I've done blew me away, and the ending with When You Where Young was a great way to close down Oxegen 2009
