This journal post does not contain any reviews!

Apologies for it appearing in the reviews section of these gigs but I had no idea that last.fm is set up to do that simply because I linked to each gig from this journal post. This post is for my own reference really and it's taken too long to write it out for me to be bothered to take it down or remove the links.

I Would Happily Punch Every One of You in the Face Tour at Hammersmith Apollo, London; 5th November 2010
Frankie Boyle

Went to the festival on 24th Jul. 2009 at "Naeba Ski resort" in Niigata, Japan. That was very precious experience for me to see Legendary Artists there, like real punk spirit - Patti Smith, mod father- Paul Weller.
Also it was fun to see new ones like Lily Allen and Longwave.

Then, the greatest band in the world- Oasis - was there. Top band, as usual.
Personally it was third time to see their gig in 2009, (went 2 shows in Osaka, March '09) and fifth time ever (first in 2002, and then 2005).

Rainning almost all day, still all gigs were great, and audience were great.

Muddy field, Beautiful Mountains, Beautiful girls,
excellent foods, great music, crazy people.
In one single place, in one day.

Love all that things.
