I must say that this is one hell of a thing that Mr. Gore has put together. Out of the performances I have seen I must say that Smashing Pumpkins rocked the house. Billy Corgan is in fine form. Wolfmother(who I am listening to via the web as I type this) is a pretty bad ass band too, this is the first time I have heard them live and I have to admit I am really impressed.
Roger Waters reminded me why I still like Pink Floyd's older stuff more than I will ever like anything they did after he left the band. Out of what i have seen that is what I have been impressed by so far.
The Beastie Boys, usually a powerhouse live, didn't really impress me this time around.Ad Rock flubbed a couple of the words in Sabotage, maybe that was the last song in the set and they were tired, I don't know. I wish I had been there to see it for myself instead of seeing clips on TV. Bon Jovi proved that they are still a bunch of wankers, as did the Police when they brought out Kanye West (Who did a really good set by the way) and John Mayer. I have never been huge fan of the Police but they are respected enough that they really don't really NEED to share the stage with younger, hipper acts.
Metallica is on now and I just noticed that James Hetfield is starting to look like Tom Waits. (Maybe it's just me)
