that was a kind of flat-feeling gig if I recall
Quote from: ochoill on August 06, 2022, 01:45:58 PMAh jesus loads, even if some of them might be a bit detached. One I think of a lot is that Enslaved / Zyklon / 1349 gig in the Village years back, maybe 07 or 08 again. Great craic with good people but two things are etched into my mind forever - the lad from 1349 setting his face on fire during their intro by mistake, and lads getting sucked into the zyklon moshpit at the speed of the strobe light from the edge of the crowd. And also the bass cutting during the kick in of "Fusion of Sense and Earth" in Enslaved's set but we'll forgive that. A fun and deadly gig that I can't forget.
The first Siege I attended too - Easter 2010, when they were still in Baker's place. Having been to a good load of the gigs in the Precinct (ahh Metal After Mass) I had assumed this would be similar but all day, few local heads and pints, but I was met with cracking weather and hundereds of lads on a monumental rip across the three bars. It was serious festival atmosphere, too hammered to deal with living before the sun even went down but somehow stayed going. It is also sealed to my memories.
