Day 3

A bit more rain today, but we were also treated to yet more bands.

The Hives - Lively set, and good at warming up the crowd

 Editors - Excellent band to see live, with songs sung passionately by lead singer Tom Smith (with veins bulging away on his face). The set wasn't quite as good as the time we saw them, with their dark songs appreciating the similarly dark environment of Alexander Palace as compared to the festival, but still great to see.

Kings of Leon

Ben Harper

 Ben Harper & The Innocent Criminals - Always great live .. an intense and talented musician.

KT Tunstall - unfortunately missed her as Ben Harper was on that the same time.

Sigur Ros - A bit too "bizarre" to really get into them at a festival

Radiohead - Grunge/Rock veterans with a large back catalogue, but choosing to play mostly from their recently digitally released "In Rainbows" album. Seeing them play those songs live made me really appreciate the album, and subsequently have listened to it many times since, but only once or twice before today.
