22 | Big Tent Reception
And now also some actual music from that festival-in-big-and-small-tents, which I was at:
"Bullet in the Head" by Rage Against the Machine (Live in a tent at "A Campingflight to Lowlands Paradise", Netherlands, August 1993)

First time I saw Rage Against the Machine live was in one of these tents, at the first Lowlands festival, back in 1993. (This video also shows Tom Morello suggesting we'd get out on the streets and kick the shit out of nazis.)
