Someone else said: "Mental ragga rave n bass with zigzag bass lines and the kind of free spirited abandon guaranteed to ram a dance floor in 10 seconds flat! "

"I had a blast of a night, indeed!!! SO much craziness in a short amount of time, which includes my camera vanishing. I really can't work without a camera. If anyone has any information on a Sony Alpha 200 DSLR with a Konica Minolta 18-70mm lense attachment that may have been found, please let me know. One moment I was snapping just in front of the OP speaker stack, the next moment I turned to a mate saying "where's my camera gone?" - I had put it down for a couple of moments to have a boogie (didn't consider quick hands from people). Any word would be great. We checked all over the place the other night.
I have now had the most expensive concert of my life. And someone has my camera. :| "
