Some hardcover posters were put up on streetpoles a few weeks ago advertising the Garbage/Placebo concert here. They had a huge Garbage pic and at the bottom of the poster was : 'and very special guests Placebo'. !!!!!
I went to gig on the Wednesday 28th of July and it was the best night of my life!! Superb! Practically everybody there came to see Garbage and only the front row consisted of true Placebo fans, I know cos I asked them. The Placebo fans, (like me *grin*) pitched up at the stadium 9 hours before the show started I suppose you do the same and the sad thing is, that there were only ,like, 15 of us in a queue until about 2 hours before the gates opened....
Anyways, Placebo was up first and played the following:
Scared of Girls
Brick Shithouse
Allergic
Teenage Angst
Bionic
You don't care about us
36 degrees
Every you every me
Nancy boy
Lady of the Flowers
Slackerbitch
Without you I'm nothing
Pure morning
I chanted for Slackerbitch after the first song was played and when the song started I was soo excited I could barely control myself.
Brian jumped off the stage and walked from the one side of the stage to the other side and back, right here infront of us, I was in the front row you see, so I streched my arm out over the barricade and I touched the Great One YES!!!!
Stefan also passed his beercan into the crowd and a few seconds later it came our way and we all (the placebo fans ofcourse) took a sip out of it, (disgusting I know, but wouldn't you do the same???).
When Garbage came on the stage, we were watching Shirley and all of a sudden the guy next to me pointed to the lefthand corner at the back of the stage and there stood Brian Steve and Stefan in the shadows watching the show, we all freaked out and started waving to them, Brian saw us and calmly waved back!!
We must have made a scene, because they gradually turned around and stood behind some equipment out of our sight.!
I suppose they are not allowed to steal Garbage's limelight, but I mean really!!!
A local website was there and the photographer took some really nice pics of the best looking,sounding,live band around!! The pictures can be seen here
There are also pics of the press conference earlier that day with the media.
Do you have a concert review you want to share and/or have put up on the website? Any close encounters with the band? You can e-mail it here to me. I'd love to hear your story;) Much thanx to Antoinette for her story!
