Bowie

So friday. Finally got to see Bowie live:) Ok, so I didn't get to see that much, because I had to work.. Working for free at the festival was pretty much the only way I could get in.. It had been sould out for ages.. But I managed to sneak out from my stand too watch quite a bit. And it's a small place (takes about 7500) so my stand was near the stage.
It was a brilliant show, but not without drama.. At the end of the third song it almost looked like it was over. Someone in the crowd threw a lollie up on stage, and it somehow managed to hit him right in his left eye. It apparantly got stuck in between the eyeball end eyelid.. I didn't really get to see what happened. But people say he stumbled towards the stage exit where a guy from his management came rushing out. He looked at the eye, and then pulled the lollie out. Ouch. Bowie came back out on stage and started a minute long runthrough of all the profanities in the english language.. But, luckily, the incident only seemed to fire him up. He started again with a Pixies song, and kept it going for about 2 hours.

1. Rebel Rebel

3. Battle for Britain (The Letter)
