If we ever find ourselves at a music festival again it’ll probably be because our nutcase toddler has dragged us there. Now, nearly 15 years on, that’s still my responsibility as we share a house and life together. And it was an important part of that day to make sure she was doing okay. I didn’t know her all that well at the time – but we had enough of a bond. She really didn’t want to be there – but figured she was meant to be there for whatever reason. She was there with her picnic hamper and some silver shorts, self-made dreads including some sort of existential dread that was weighing down on her. I also spent a big part of the day looking out for a friend who really didn’t like crowds. I’m not even the world’s biggest fan of The Clash but it was obvious that what was happening was a wee bit special. He fired out so many great songs from The Clash and it had such a spirit about it, a naughtiness, an energy.

That’s really the only difference.īut the closing set – on the smaller stage – from Joe Strummer was one of those special moments. The Windows version from IcoFX Software has a settings panel that allows you to switch to a light theme or a night time mode (displays the time in red between 10pm - 6am), display a time separator, hide the time labels, and it includes support for multiple monitors. Decent memories of that – shortly after we saw Foo Fighters in what proved to be the holding pattern they’d be in ever since, creatively spent, circling themselves – essentially no better than the Nickelbacks of this world but with nice-guy/Nirvana-guy Dave Grohl at the helm.

It was a good time, too, to see Shihad in what was their customary slot – 6pm/ish, main stage. It was one of the best things I’ve ever seen actually. I remember being blown away by Nine Inch Nails – one of the reasons I attended. It was a pretty decent showing from the Chili Peppers – at a time when it wasn’t totally embarrassing to be a fan of the band, they were on a significant “comeback” – it went pear-shaped shortly after. Saw some pretty great sets actually – from standalone things, bands like The Hellacopters, never cared about them since – but a good time at the time – to incongruous and lovely like Beth Orton. This, the 2000 event, was my second time. As the leading youth entertainment brand, mtv is the best place to watch the networks original series, see the latest music videos and stay up to date on. I don’t like the bleed between stages, the lack of preparation, the fly-by-night audience of see-and-be-seen-scene bullshit. But I have (mostly) enjoyed the events I attended, only went to four Big Day Outs. I’ve never been a fan of The Big Day Out – given it a lot of grief, really.
