Pictures from the front of the pit at Roskilde Festival
Some thoughts about the concert:
My first time seeing them live, was everything I could hope it would be.
Maybe its just Denmark and I'm new here but the crowd was DEAD. Absolute silence between songs to the point where it was awkward, could hear music from the other stages loud and clear. Crowd was pretty non-committal and had to be really pushed, it was almost as if everyone was, I don't really have a word for it, extra polite? Would only respond if asked to. In the end, it felt like it ended just as things were getting warmed up.
Played just a couple of songs from the new album which was weird because this is the Mountain tour. But then I had conversations with people around me in the pit and except for maybe 2 people nobody really wanted to hear the new stuff or had even heard of the new stuff anyway which was sad to see.
Roskilde in general has some serious sound issues; was at BB Trickz earlier in the day and she had to get her guitarist off the stage and on multiple times because for whatever reason things just werent working out. In the end she improvised but you could see how it threw them all off each time. Lots of overlap with the sound at Little Simz and the same for Gorillaz. Was even more pronounced right at the front. Hope they do better next year.
