Pushing your way through the crowd, not giving fuck or respecting other people, is no atmosphere.

The whole place was dancing. Only the drugged three fucks in the front thought they were at a mosh pit. And as far as I could see, the vibe of rest of the place was not influenced by the atmosphere created by drugfucks in the front. A lot of angry faces from people who were trying to have a good time without being pushed around, yeah...

Most fun I ever had was when one of those nuts decided to crowdsurf, and I threw him face first down the front stage. Double win, since crowdsurfers were gladly escorted outside, without reentering.

Back to the gig: the playlist is boring if you have heard it multiple times, but Downpipe-ALAF-NuTrain-Scribble is a great opener. Bird 1 is the start of what I'd call "the break", with Diamond Jigsaw having the same vibe. And the place goes mental with Cowgirl-Rez, KoS and Nuxx. Dirty Epic is then a bit mellower to end with the Moaner bang.

But if you then listen their older live work... So much better, because it is much more fluent and not just "tracks from an album" but whatever Rick cooked up in his studio. I still miss nuxx at Glasto in 1998-1999ish, where the buildup was phenomenal and new for a track that has been played to death.
