This was an awsome concert.Preshrunk were up first and got hte crowd hyped up, followed by Placebo. Everyone loved Placebo and the moshpit went off. I got injured so many times it wasn't funny. The singer of Placebo kept staring at me ,I swear it and i kept getting closer and closer to the front of the mosh pit. When silverchair came on,I didnt have a chance,because im 16 and 159cms and I got pushed to the back. A really cool lighs set happened and there was these neaon lights with a voice that was talking,i think it was computer genrated .The crowd was screaming for silverchair and then they finally came out. The first song they played was emotonal sickness and in the part when he sings "get up..get up"...I got up and crownd surfed and the security gaurd told me off and said no one is allowed to crownd surf...so i did it again and got told off and he said hed kick me out if he saw me doing it again...i think he was a little harsh because everyone else was doing it. The mosh pit went off for most of thier songs except fot the slow ones. They then came back on for 2 encores and said they would have played them anyway even if they didnt get called for encores. The encores was a cover of a band and the last song was spawn.
