Also, the one thing that I found strange (and disappointing) was that the crowd didn't give them an encore. It did look like the techs were packing the stuff up straight away, but still, there were a few half-hearted "we want more's" and then the crowd buggered off.
I believe there was an encore man, i also said the same thing and then all my friends told me that they already had the encore, which confused me - i must of been a little too wasted at that stage.
I agree what you saying about these "big concerts" - Chili Peppers was a hell of a disappointment for me - mostly on the sound side of things, i couldnt hear crap, it was incredibly loud etc. (from where i was standing at least) and the last few other big concerts were a similar experience.
But the show really did impress me a hell of a lot... Mostly just how fantastic it sounded - Its the best sound (at least from where I was standing) i have heard - which makes the biggest difference! i dunno maybe the sound was not the best up front, i always avoid the front for that reason - middle center was a winner!
Also, the professionalism of the band, you can see they have been doing this a long time, and such a energetic and great front man chino is.
Anyway glad everyone had an awesome koppi this year, it was a super fun party and respect to all the local bands that did such a great job.
