Super Furry Animals!

[The Nal]

Looking at footage from the Peel tent this year there was a fair bit of bouncing etc going on. And people were bouncing for Lionel. And moshing for Motorhead.

I was there for both those gigs, it's nothing like the same! Motorhead being diabolical didnt help like.

 

Watch changes at the bowie gig for further details, though in fairness that was 2000 so it's not just a 90s phenomenon.

[CaledonianGonzo]

People were dancing for Lionel - which, I'll grant you, can involve a bit of bounce-like motion. The difference is that you're not wedged in like a sardine.

I was up the front and jumping for all of the Prodigy in 09 AND lost my phone. Take that 90s kids.

[neil999]

jumping up and down is deffo the funnest thing to do at a gig, especially outdoors

[The Placid Casual]

System of a Down at Leeds 2013 was one of the best crowds I've been in. Fun moshing and plenty of jumping up and down.

 

Screw yer 90s.

[Brave Sir Robin]

I was one of many people bouncing around for Man Don't Give A ..., Inspector Norse and Slaves (Hell). Excellent fun. Was just outside of the Glade when Too Many Zooz were on, loads of people giving it beans in there for that too.

Serj Tankian at Rock Am Ring was one of the worst crowds Ive ever been in. Shite moshing and plenty of jumping up and down.

[russycarps]

Yeh you get small pockets now of course. But have you seen the footage on this super furry animals documentary? The ENTIRE packed other stage crowd was bouncing. Not just the nobheads down the front. Everyone! 

 

Because in those days everyone was on the same page. There werent the divisions of today.

[ThomThomDrum]

Phones being lost. pft!

 

In proper bouncing fun shoes are lost!

Yeah, his solo stuff doesn't live up though. I've rarely been in good moshes but System at Leeds was one of them.

 

Their setlist was on point too.

[ThomThomDrum]

Back in the 90s the bounce could be so vigorous some people lost their virginity!

I liked him! Once I moved back a bit away from the vermin who had no interest in the gig.

[tevaburger]

it's not a 90's thing, it originated in the 80's...even at something as innocent as a Simple Minds/The Cult gig...imagine a dusty Milton Keynes Bowl on a hot Saturday in June 86 becoming dangerous to breathe in with all the dust being kicked up in the air..

 

gig goers today are just less fit, less mobile & lazier than in the past (all those chairs at Glasto now! the horror!!!)...you'd never see this at a wembley - or any other - gig these days (bar The Nal at any Prodigy gig, even if it was up against Led Zeppelin) and this is just bloody INXS! watch the masses heaving up and down...those were the good days

 

[CHRLY]

Depends on the situation for me. Didn't mind having a good ol' bounce to MDGAF but I'm quite contempt having my own space to dance in. In fact, i'd say Mavis Staples was the best crowd i was in all weekend, nice and spacious and everyone moving and having a great time.

MDGAF is definitely a bounce track. What else can you do during it?

[CHRLY]

Until a long haired, greasy man in a leather jacket came out of nowhere and punched me in the face.

Dad dance?

[The Placid Casual]

Got to be a pogo or you'll be pogo'd in to.

 

Where I was, it was just jumping up and down anyway. I didn't look back.

Shame about the music like

Some would argue he's the greatest living rockstar on the planet

[CHRLY]

Deliberate mistake?

 

Well, yeah. Wasn't really thought out that well as a joke. 

 

2/10. Must try harder.

Stand there and nod your head and tell those bouncing and talking to keep it down as they are ruining your experience

 

 

The stage lighting makes it hard to see most of the time but its basically a handful of isolated "hoppers" and maybe the odd bouncer

Was a plastic volvic bottle I think. Morgan's spiced. Think one of the guys was wearing a brown adidas jacket and I was wearing a backwards Yorkshire cricket cap, denim shorts and grey denim shirt, if that helps.

No clue what happened that night, and I don't remember too much of SFA, so I hope I wasn't a nuisance there haha.

 

 

I appear to have taken this photo, so this is where I was stood.

 

 

Just catching up on this thread.  My friends and I were definitely the recipients of your rum, it was me in the brown adidas jacket infact!! Cheers Will, I'll return the favour next year .

 

Definitely a subdued atmosphere but I absolutely loved it. Our group were singing and dancing to our hearts content. Was over the Big Easy until 3am afterwards.

 

Receptacle and Mountain People were probably my highlights. Not sure there's justification for Zoom when Ice Hockey Hair is missing but I suppose they want to play stuff throughout the breadth of their career.

[Winslow Leach]

I was drunk and bouncing to TMDGAF, destroyed my voice as well.

 

The best, most energetic crowds I was in all weekend though were both for hip-hop acts: Run the Jewels on West Holts and Akala in the Rum Shack.
