Big Day Out, Sydney ~ Jan 23 2010

I probably should have posted this a few days ago or even last weekend but the dramas with my PC meant I had to load the pics to mums computer, then upload them to facebook and then come over and save them again on the mac in PNG format so i could upload them to this blog (for some reason whenever I try to upload a pic to this blog it doesnt work unless the images are in PNG format).

But YAY! Last Saturday I went to the second Big Day Out show here in Sydney. Muse was the only act I really wanted to see and the two other acts I was vaguely interested in seeing – we got in a bit late so I missed the first one, and then the other one where they were playing there was almost zero shade and it got to 42 degrees on Saturday so after waiting for a bit for them to start (in that time I went and got my water bottle refilled and i swear ten mins later the water inside was HOT) my friends and I had walked around for about 40 mins maybe an hour before we gave up and headed to the stands in the main arena area to await Muse.

Muse’s setlist (thanks Facebook – though initially when they posted it they had the wrong set coz it had Resistance and the DID not play Resistance. I would have geeked out MASSIVELY if they did as its my fave song by them atm):

Uprising
Supermassive Black Hole
Interlude
Hysteria
Undisclosed Desires
Stockholm Syndrome

Nishe
United States of Eurasia
Helsinki Jam
MK Ultra
Starlight
Time is Running Out
Unnatural Selection
Encore:
Back In Black (with Nic Cester from Jet)
Plug in Baby
Man With A Harmonica
Knights of Cydonia

bold songs have been my faves at one time or another so I was VERY happy they were played. HELLO FANGASM!!! 😀

Anyways so I took some pics but I had borrowed mums camera coz mine is kinda bulky and didnt want to carry it into the mosh for Muse….but she has her settings really low so she can take MILLIONS of pics but the quality is shite. Gawd i was annoyed when i realised! But here you go. I have a lot more pics of me and my friends just vegging out all day on Facebook but its not that interesting so I am sharing the ‘best’ Muse shots.

Meeting up with my chicas! They took public transport, I got a lift with my sister.

Even with the noise and heat, there were plenty of acts we werent into so we were all dozing at some point….eek! Sorry bands!

I peer pressured my friends into D-section! WOO! Only Grace (the lil one) was brave enough to get closer though.

MUSE!! WOO!! Was soooo happy!!!!!!!






My poor friend Graces view…if you can call it that. Shes tiny. But she braved the mosh – the lil trooper!

The dude from JET singing Back in Black with the lads. NOICE!!! Crowd loved it.
