>I would say all previous opinions expressed about the event were valid 
>(overpriced everything!, lame security, THE HEAT), but the music made it 
>worth  it.   BAUHAUS (on Saturday) stole the whole thing and were truly 
>fucking amazing.  They opened up with "Bela Lugosi's Dead" with Peter 
>Murphy coming out onstage hanging upside-down from a wire, and sang the

>"Leeds finest" were awesome as well, and played a tight, high-energy set -

>NEW ORDER was excellent, it's always good to see God (aka. Peter Hook) on 
>bass, and did not disappoint.   Barney had a "pulled tendon" in his foot 
>from dancing a couple of nights earlier so he "couldn't dance!"   They

>in rough order (pardon the pun) were:  Regret, Bizarre Love Triangle, 
>Transmission, Crystal, 4 new ones (including "Krafty"), Love will tear us 
>apart, Blue Monday - which featured a Kylie Minogue "Can't get you out of 
>my head" intro!......(it was fucking hilarious)   Apparently, old lawsuits 
>are never forgotten......

>NINE INCH NAILS was pretty fucking monster.  Trent's pretty pissed-off on 
>the newer stuff, but the best songs were still the "Downward Spiral" and 
>"Pretty Hate Machine" material.  That said, they looked fucking awesome and 
>rocked like hell (and had the biggest crowd of all the bands, too)

>I also visited the sets of those new hipsters KASABIAN and, "don't look at 
>me that way-ay!!..." THE BRAVERY.  Both were pretty fucking good, actually. 
>  It was so hot in the aptly named "Sahara" tent, that THE BRAVERY's bass

>got through the set and didn't disapoint the kids with ripping out "Honest 
>mistake."

>I was wearing my "Laugh at your peril" shirt on Sunday and got a few

>So, I would say good times overall - I'd go again if the roster was as
