Empire Polo Field, Indio, California, United States of America (2005)
Front row!!!
But ok here is my story!
First Barney hurt his foot dancing in Oakland so he was in ruff shape for this show. No dancing! He even walked off the stage in BLT when he normally dances. Hope fully he will be ok for Chicago, but now I know why he stood still like a robot in Blue Monday at Oakland.
Anyways I get there at 12:30pm and notice there to nobody at the stage, so I go and get front row when Phil plays. After battling the sun all day, New Order take the stage at 7:35. I was happy to see atmosphere first as it was left off of Oakland due to time. After the song was over I screamed Phil, Phil, Phil and got him to wave at me!!! (Hightlight of the show for me) Barney then goes on to say He love Palm Spings and wants to move here, and asks is anybody has been to Manchester, then asks if they like it. When to crowd said no, he says "Right answer" Anyways I was having the time of my life. The crowd was great (No pushing) It was great I was front row and space around me to breathe, unlike Oakland that I was getting squished and bumbed all threw the show. (Thanks you Britts )
It was funny because I could not hear the backing from where I was so in songs like Krafty I herd nothing in the chorus, and it still sounded great.
Barney was kinda in a foul mood because of his leg but sounded great, even if he screwed up Blt (missing the second chourus) And Peter was not very talkative but sounded great. Steve was Steve! And Phil was the only person who seemed happy. Even smiled while he was playing Hey Now. (Maybe because I kept chanting his name)
After Regret and the Photographers had to leave Peter said "Its time for the Photographers to leave so F**k off, Get the F**K out of here"
And Barney ended the show by saying "Sorry we could only play for one hour, and sorry for our bad mood tonight, but thats how it goes"
Overall great show!!! I had the time of my life!
And Big thanks to Al "Monster" Jarvis for telling me to go to the Left side of the stage! And for but Killing me and bumbing me this concert!
