RE: #2 & #5 - Are they jumping off of something, or did they have some sort of small trampoline setup behind that monitor that we can't see?

Great shots (Lily Allen would have been better with eyes open).

Thanks.

Peaches was jumping off the drum riser but the guitarist from Rise Against just leapt from the stage.

There are plenty of shots of Lily with her eyes open in the gallery link in the original post. I posted that one because it shows off the flag fairly well. It was Australia Day - a national holiday in Australia that celebrates the arrival of the first European settlers to Australia in 1788. (Here endeth today's history lesson).

No. I was shooting someone else while they played. It was bad enough to hear the end of their set waiting for Muse to take the stage.

Like em all more or less, except #1.
Some very good moments.

(Lily Allen would have been better with eyes open).

Disagree.

Thanks Rene. I was pretty happy with what I got from the day. It's a bitch shooting some of the acts in direct sun but you do what you can in the circumstances.
