And on the subject of seats... despite booking Placebo a bit last minute we got some funky seats - just above the standing area and on the mid-right. But to the music - the support was mixed with Silversun Pickups putting on a fun and energetic show despite getting a bit carried away at the end of every song. The Horrors however were not as good as when I saw them at Field Day, their first two songs were barely listenable to due to some appalling vocals. After that though I thought they got much better even if popular opinion would say otherwise. Anyway Placebo rocked so all was good. From blindly white stage (white painted amps and Stefan's silver suit) to confetti filled finale they put on a good show, helped along by the nicely excessive live lineup (guitar, bass, keyboards/synths, electric violin and backing strings and that's without Brian, Stefan and Steve). Being quite a fan of the last two albums the setlist suited me fine and of course they threw in some classics. Oh and I saw one of my professors in the crowd - most random. Anyways obligatory photos if you continue scrolling...
