Big Day Out 2008 Thread

I've never been to the BDO before, what time does the Boiler Room finish up about?

NO love in this thread for Battles. They were fantastic.

Need some help here, Krafty Kuts and Dynamite MC did a song that I need to no. Lyrics went something like who are you?, who am I? Who is this ..... (Dj right here maybe?)
Thanks

Best BDO i've been to for years...even tho it was absolutely Hot as #### in Claremont.

Rage were obviously stunning, but my second fave band of the day was Karnivool, easily. And i'm definitely not what you call a massive Karnivool fan.

Simply blew me away.

After that i'd say Gyroscope and the Juggers

Awesome day

Dizzee Rascal was great... both times. Saw the normal set at the boiler room, then saw them again at Lillyworld. Gotta love the Lillyworld guest DJ's, something unexpected and they always have the best time playing there.

Caught Battles. The first half didnt really do it for me, left to go get water and some shade inside Lillyworld and was kinda glad coz thats when Dizzee Rascal came on.

Went to the D pretty early. Arcade Fire were interesting. Heard a few tracks on JJJ and was pretty impressed. Silverchair zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Didnt see Bjork as was now about 5m from the front of RATMs set. She sounded as annoying as i had expected tho.

Massive shoutouts to the idiot and his mates who pushed past everyone to get closer before RATM came on. 10 minutes later the idiot was coming back out. I laughed at him when he went past and asked him "Whats wrong 10 minutes ago you were pushing past to get closer??" Really hate tossers like that. Couldnt handle 10 minutes of waiting for RATM to start... how the hell was he going to handle the 90 or so minutes of madness that was about to begin.

They were brilliant. Only bad part was about 30 seconds into the opening song - Testify - the speakers power cut out or something. Oh well they continued to play and we all just sang along.

Heh, up the back we thought they were just building up the tension. It wasn't until after 20 seconds or so we realised there was an issue. For a minute there we thought something bad had happened in the crowd up the front.

Shame you missed Karnivool to watch the Silverchair snore fest, they were absolutely brilliant. Unless you're a massive silverchair fan i find their live performances pretty dull, they pretty much never play what everyone wants to hear, ie the early stuff.

But yeah, if you left the D then, you'd have never got back in...which we soon discovered. Luckily we took up station right behind the rear barrier and had an awesome view. To get that close we still had to endure 45min of bjork.

Nah we didn't, the restart with bulls on parade made up for it...we weren't sure if we were going to get a show at that stage, cause the sound was off for a good minute I think...

"ok lets try that again, good evening we are rage against the machine from los angeles california"

Booooom.

Good show

Best BDO for me...Arcade Fire were brilliant, haiti and antichrist television blues were my favourites from their set...Bjork was awesome too, pagan poetry and unravel being my best couple - plus that chess board instrument she had on stage was

Meh, can't be helped.

They more than made up for it.

The end of Wake Up was the best part of the gig IMO.

Perth BDO was all about one act - Arcade Fire.

Kicked so much ass I think I need a cushion still.

Rage? Pffft. Got me the hell outta there before that shit started up.
