What was the highlight of Witnness 2001?

Rabbit_Fascist

For me, it had to be Frank Black & the Catholics encoring with the Pixies 'Where is my mind?'.

Blinding.

Yours?

I can't remember too much abuot it, was only there the Saturday, but I'd say the highlight, was the fact that I didn't see any of the bands (except 5 mins of the Charlatans who were pretty bad), got very, very intoxicated, jumped across small rivers, trepsed through fields full of ****, got covered in muck, lost my glasses, but didn't spend a penny on beer, food, or anything else...bar a taxi on the way down....great!

By the way... you didn't happen to find my glasses? Or a bag of cd's??

Frank Black n the catholics was good. But the Frames on saturday night was fupping great the atmosphere was unbelieve abelievable, then Glen Hansard jumps in the crowd just longside where I was standing fupping great.

The Charlatans were the best band all weekend, in my humble opinion.

Didn't find any CD's mate. Sorry.

Best thing about witness is havin g the shower at the end of it for sure better if ur not alone tho

T.G Catter

c the guys who collected all the plastic beer cups, and made a tower!
the revs were class,as were faithless.

JESUS H. CHRIST!!! FLC was possibly the worst group there, i left after the first few songs. Did you not hear that retarded joke he told?

The Frames' set was legendary, with guest appearances from Paddy Casey, that lead singer/guitarist from the waterboys and David Kitt (whom i met wandering around the tent before the frames started) not to mention Glen Hansard crowd surfing! I also saw them in the vip area on saturday, which i got into both days, coz im cool n stuff

Also seeing Skindive for the first time (treatment tent and rising stage) was good, Danielle Harrison the lead singer is very,very,very,very sexy.

I believe ive said this before, but get the album. Its called Skindive aswell. 10 punts!

PiE

Frank Black & The Catholics by faaaaaaar.

Skindive & ..Trail of Dead were class too.

Makaveli

Whats the deal with draging up an eight month old thread?

Flimbo

the frames....glen hansard stage dived on top of me. I crumpled like a leaf!

Feeder - we created a moshing circle in the pit up front and went fupping spastic!

poobags

Even no im no fan of them-Muse blew me away. Like an electric cannon straight through the heart. Thats the best description i can come up with.

Although the Waterboys before them were just ****in class too.
Great band when your drunk. Yes the frames were great.


WHERE WER THE PANCAKES THOUGH? PANCAKES CHILDREN. PANCAKES.

MrJoeSoap

aint no doubt about it, while all those above acts were good, MUSE f***ing ROCKED !!! The delay, the heaviest rain shower of 2001 and the steam rising off the crowd just added to the atmosphere and when Bellamy & Co came on stage, my life was never the same... pity bout the two dopes who decided to leave their bags on the ground in the pit, causing about 5000 people to fall over on top of bout 4 girls. Nevertheless...

Pencapchew

Frank Black was amazing and the crowd were pure mental.
snowpatrol and feeder were good on the main stage but the frames was my highlight..Glen nearly broke me and my friends faces when he stage dived

P.S. this years line-up will be the best ever

I'm not sure what witness it was at but some legend climbed up one of those big blue tents. I thought that was pretty good cause most of the bands suct.

zAbbo

The bit where this annoying fat secuirty guy got nailed with a pint of guiness was cool, oh and large consuptin of alcohol over the weekend

Paulj

Crowdsurfing during FLC with the bouncers firing plastic cups of guinnes at me. Great fun!

Oh and frank black's "where is my mind" was brill.

morph1998

trowing a pint of urine over 2 arseholes that were about 2 feet taller than me and getting chased around fairyhouse...they weren't happy...don't f**k with the little guy eh!!!

Brautigan

Losing a collection of small envelopes only to find them an hour later sitting on a step in the grandstand, untouched and awaiting appraisal and approval from some thirsty troops...

Oh, and the Stereo MC's were awesome..., and Elbow were good too. And Neil Finn, especially when he invited that dude from the audience up to sing with him. And Mundy in the Cafe stage when the lights came up and he and Mic Christopher gamely played on for ages.

dysfunct

Definatley The Frames on Saturday night, amazing.
The most depressing thing about the weekend, that damn rain.

Are ye going this year? You can bet your ass i am.

the celtic tiger
