We were really enjoying the set, so was everyone around us, then they just threw a total showbiz wobbly- everyone was bewildered. They'd barely spoken to the crowd so hadn't built any rapport, they were technically good and maybe people just wanted to listen, after all, the singing bit is what they are there to do. I felt there was a strange atmosphere when they came on as if something had happened back stage. Tis true the crowd at Reading were too young to know much of the old stuff, festivals arent' really designed for people of their age- bit too much of a baptism of fire. There were also a number of people there who walk the muso image walk but their musical knowledge could be written on the back of a stamp. There should be more festivals for teenagers. Watch a video of Arctic Monkeys, The Progidy and Radiohead;KOL as they were freakin' awesome, that's how it's done- if the crowd aren't feeling it KOL, you make them- that's your job!
