Home Stretch!!

So we here we go for the last couple of shows of the tour, first up was the show in Cesky Brod in Czech Republic on a now defunct Soviet Military Air base for some quality breakfast at catering.

Maybe the Hot Dogs were in honour of today being 4th of July!!!!
When we arrived they werent quite prepared for the combination of grass, lots of rain and a heavy 40ft truck.

So they called in the heavy army trucks to pull us out of the mud. The driver didnt exactly inspire confidence though.

Unfortunately it worked or else they would of had to go get theyre Tank to pull us out. Damn It!!

I did however find this seemingly innnocuous looking bunker which was the staging area for preparing the dressing room area riders for the bands.


Upon further inspection this is what i found inside...



Apparently it still runs, they wouldnt let drive it though!!


After a 2 hour drive to the hotel and an hours sleep it was back up and off to the airport for the flight to Copenhagen. Guess 3rd time lucky does apply!! 10 days, 3 flights into Copenhagen with the same airline and this was the first time we didnt lose our bags, we thought it was about time for a bit of a good day at the Roskilde festival but unfortunately not. The torrential rain didnt let up for the entire day and everyone on site got absolutely soaked. Was still a pretty good show all the same.


Although i did have to wear a bizarre pass to get to FOH in addition to my wristband and stick on pass.


So after braving the rain for a little bit to watch Bjork


It was back to the hotel and dry clothes. So now im sitting in the airport hotel at Copenhagen before heading off to Edinburgh for tomorrows T in The Park festival and then onwards to Dublin for the Oxegen festival before its time for a month off from the Killers tour.
