T in the park 2011.

Hammer your right ...Any group that plays New songs at festivals need to wake up ..People need to hear the old songs the ones they can sing along to , throwing the odd new one is is ok but a run of them is a no no ..That is what tours are for

 

New ones in bold, just to help you confused folks out, genuinely baffled where this mystery "run of new ones" is hidden.

Hammer, the tracks in bold are the tracks that have been released as singles. In my opinion they picked a lot of strong songs from across all four albums although if you haven't listened to the albums I can see your point that it could seem a bit flat.

Where I was in the crowd, everyone seemed be really enjoying it.

 

Released Brick by Brick too and anybody who doesn't know Mardy *, 505 and This house is a circus were at the wrong * act.

 

Exactly.

I didn't see Arctic Monkeys because they classed with Swedish House Mafia, but SHM played songs 90% of the crowd knew - which made it a spectacular atmosphere.

 

Swedish House Mafia were on Saturday, Arctic Monkeys were on Friday. :icon_mrgreen:

 

I thought Still Take You Home got one of the best receptions, and although Mardy * never got released it's one of the songs that the bams all know, and Brick By Brick was released. Also if you have ever listened to Arctic Monkeys and not listened to 505, you need help. That's a fair bit more of the set. All their albums have got to number one anyway, it's not like they're playing obscure b-sides.

There are people who still expect them to play their first album + Fluorescent Adolescent, they shouldn't be pandering to that crowd. They have four great albums, and only played two songs from the "difficult" Humbug. There were plenty of crowd pleasers in there, it's been years since he's let the crowd do almost the entire intro to When The Sun Goes Down, and the new slower Mardy * was a nice touch.

 

The slower version of Mardy * was fantastic. Goosebumps up the spine stuff.

 

Can't believe people actually thought they crowd was dead hahahahahahaha.

 

Brandon Flowers was my highlight of the whole weekend. King Tuts went absolutely mental when he finished off with Mr Brightside. Thought Arctic Monkeys & Coldplay were awesome too.

 

full weekend was madness, literally.

camped in purple 4 and there was 50+ ppl i knew all camped in the same bit was absoloutly immense

the view and ocs where the highlight, beady eye was dissapointing and although i dont like music that swedish house mafia play ... they where fantastic never seen anything like it in my life !!

all in all a great weekend

 

decided to take a break from seeing the bands as much this year as the dance acts that were playing i liked.
chase and status was the sweatiest gig ive ever experienced! SHM was a complete ja'fest everyone seemed completely nutted! deadmau5 was crazy, 2 rows from the front havin every breath sqeezed out of me! amazing! take me back to balado!!

 

I don't know anyone who went this year that didn't have an amazing experience

 

I would argue that you should have something for everyone, which they did, after all at a festival if you are really just there for When The Sun Goes Down and Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor you can * off to some other act if you don't like standing there for the duration of the album material.
They are a band who think in terms of great albums. They're not going to pander to the type of people who think that because it's not been released as a single it can't be a great song.
