Ha, I was there too. The Portishead show at dusk remains the best show I’ve ever seen, it was just brilliant on every front. The line-up was incredible and from memory the tickets were very reasonably priced (something around the $150 mark).

The venue was great but they didn’t organise the food carts adequately. Massive lineups meant you either missed large parts of a band’s set or you chose to stay hungry. I chose hunger.

Me too. It was worth it.

Just wondering how The Fame Monster would go… as in…eligibility…

I had to look it up to see what you meant. I didn’t realise, I’d always thought it was just those 8 new songs.

Im out of the 2000s Swoodley
