Electric Picnic 09 - Madness
Main stage, Saturday 5th September, 10.40pm
This was always going to be fun - the ultimate party band playing a mild Saturday evening at the best festival in the world.
Describe in a tweet: A great deal of silly dancing all round.
Good Vibrations: Seems a bit pointless as it's so obvious, but from 'One Step Beyond' to 'Night Boat to Cairo via 'The Prince', 'Embarrassment', 'My Girl' and 'House of Fun', this was an absolute treat. So many hits!
Oh and a gaggle of freaks joining the band onstage for 'Baggy Trousers' was also a notable moment as I'm sure you can all appreciate.
Life's a beach: What was that set-list all about? Three or four hits at the start then about forty minutes of uninterrupted obscurities and new songs!? Suggs saying 'this is a new song' is the equivalent of a melter bringing a guitar out at a party.

They did end with six absolute crackers in a row so all was forgiven.
EP rating: 9/10, then 2/10, then 9/10 again
