Thank God for Floyd

The Floyd were absolutely the highlight of the day. I wouldn't have missed their performance for the world! The Who were great too. The opening with Macca and U2 gave me goosepimpels. Sting was OK, good of him to perform only Police songs! Cold Play and Keane, two of my favourite contemporary bands were alright, although their performances were relatively short. And last but not least REM. Only, why the blue band on Stipe's face? Made him look like a faggot Zorro without a cape! Overall is was a memorable day!

 

God, that Pink Floyd performance was amazing. I just couldn't beleive that waters was there, still can't, hasn't yet. And further more, that performance was great, they sound great.

I can't beleive they did anything from the Wall. But Comfortably numb is my all-time favorite song, not just by pink floyd. It's a real treat for me. But in that show I would most like to have been in london for Wish You were Here, at club cover up bands people sing that last verse in unison is so touching,made me cry one...  imagine over 1 million.

Well, I guess all I can say is Roger Water's was finally "Home, home again..."

I was very impressed by the whole day, and enjoyed most performances. I surprised myself by watching the whole thing!!

I only muted sound/changed channel when Mariah Carey and Velvet Revolver were on. I thought everything else was pretty good. I thought Sting was good - glad he done 'Message in a bottle'  - Coldplay were ok. The Killers, Razorlight and Scissor Sisters + REM were all very good.

The Who sounded great and Floyd were fantastic.

Good day.

Floyd, the Who, Deep Purple were awesome-the rest was crap.

just stumbled across a link to this from another of my regular haunts

I didn't catch Deep Purple, actually. I'm kind of pissed off about that.

Stevie Wonder was great, too. How is it physically possible for someone nearing his 60s to have a voice like that? I don't get it.

Deep Purple, Pink Floyd and The Who was all good. Neil Young is coming up on Canada's show soon enough.

Highlights for me:

 

U2

Dido and Youssou N’Dour. (I was really hoping he would sing 7 seconds)

Keane

The Who

and of course........

...well said. The closest I came to being entertained with the other acts was Linkin Park coupled with Jay Z....not that I can stand their music, but I appreciated the energy and enthusiasm that was given in their performance.
