My own personal top 5
1. Janes Addiction (Leeds 2002) 2. The Black Keys (Reading 2003) 3. Iggy Pop (Reading 2001) - a lot of other people have expressed their opposition to this, but I thought they (he) were great!
4. Sparta (Reading 2003 + Leeds 2002) 5. The Polyphonic Spree (Leeds 2002)

No offence to the thrice fan... but i seriously thought they were dire.. i actually walked away after 4 songs because i couldnt tolerate anymore. I guess its just down the personal choice.
My top 5 [1] Pennywise [2003] (a fantastic crowd atmosphere and singing all the way back to the campsite) [2] Limp Bizkit [2000] (Now i don't really care what people think on this matter because they had complete control of the crowd and their interaction was brill, not to mention one of the best mosh pits ive ever participated in) [3] RATM [2000] ( Purely for Mr Morello's fine fretwork) [4] Daphne & Celeste [2000] (The most hilarious thing ive ever seen in my life) [5] Blink 182 [2000] (The second most hilarious thing ive ever seen.. made even more funny by Mark (i think) slipping on his arse because of the sheer amount of crap thrown at daphne & celeste

Amen [2001] You really had to be there. System of a Down [2001] Right before Toxicity and the wave of kids hit. Lovely Jane's Addiction [2002] One hell of a return, should have headlined. Feeder[2002] Seen em loads of times, best show I ever saw them play. Boysetsfire[2003] Managed to upstage even Turbonegro.

i thought the prodigy setin 2002 was poo,i gave up after 5 mins and went to watch andy c, now there set in 1998 was explosive and amazing and part oftheir really successful world tour..but in 2002 they were cack....now i know i'm basing that on 5 minutes..but i don't recall reading one good review (which don't really account for owt)..but i didn't speak to anyone who thought they were above average!

Whatever happened to Daphne and Celeste? EDIT: The most up-to-date web-site is the wonderfully-named www.upyourbuttwithacoconut.co.uk (last updated in November 2003). There's no news on the girls' current activities (studying for GCSE's perhaps...!) but there are a number of nice wallpapers you may wish to download. Or maybe not.
