So as I thought it would be, the TW Fest at Werchter on Saturday was fucking amazing.. Juanes played to a pretty large crowd early in the afternoon, and we were done and enjoying Stella Artois by around 5:00 (We didn’t do video for the festival, so we had a pretty easy day as it was). I think it was estimated that there were about 60,000 people there, here are a couple of views from the stage..
Iggy Pop and The Stooges rolled up around 4:30 in the afternoon, and then later took the stage around 7:00. Iggy walked right by me on his way to the dressing room and even though I bet he would have been really cool about it, I couldn’t bring myself to be that annoying guy with the camera asking for a pic (same thing happened with Sting later on in the evening..). I did however get to take some amazing photos of The Stooges in the press pit right from the edge of the stage, all of which I’ll post in an album soon. But here’s a few of the really good ones for now
Keep in mind too that the guy is 61 years old.. And he and The Stooges completely kicked ass. They opened with “Loose”, and played all the good shit, from “1969″ to “No Fun” (which started a good ol’ fashioned crowd bum rush and even a bunch of people who got up on stage and danced around) to “I Wanna Be Your Dog”. Whole bunch of pics to come.
The Police, one of my all-time favorites, took the stage around 9:00. I didn’t have the opportunity to take close-up photos due to their strict photo policy, but got a few quick ones..
An incredible concert with some legends who still put on a great show, more than 30 years later..
