GuessWho

I've been a Green Day fan for 16 years and never saw them live... until tonight.

Holy shit, they blew me away with a fun filled 2 1/2 hour set.

It felt awesome to have a better view than 99% of the people there too. To know that some folks were watching from more than a football field away, yet I was only about 30 feet from the stage, made it all worth it that I got there early and held off from peeing for 5.5 hours LOL

Here's a crappy cell phone pic. Pics from a real camera (with a zoom & focus) will be on my facebook later this week and I took a bunch of HD videos too which will hit youtube later too.



Also seen today: Social Distortion, Blues Traveler, Verve Pipe, Rise Against, and a DJ set from Perry F


Tomorrow... Wolfmother, Cypress Hill and Soundgarden!

Interested to hear how Soundgarden was.

So I read a review on spinner about the Gaga show, saying that she basically imported her entire Monster's Ball stage show to Lolla and blew the crowd away. Somewhere in the middle of her set, seeing her performance as something of a triumph, she said that 3 years ago she played on one of the side stages...playing basically the same songs, and that no one cared. I guess implying that we weren't cool back then when we thought nothing of her. Then I saw videos of the Stokes doing a less is more set that was tight as hell...and kinda realized that no one cared about Gaga three years ago because those 'same songs' kinda suck without a broadway musical behind her. Just venting I guess.

Also interested to hear how Soundgarden was. Anyone go to their show? Or did everyone head over to the Arcade Fire?

GuessWho

Couldn't find any more codes. Sorry.

I've uploaded some of my pics...

Soundgarden's sound was SPOT ON. The guitar and bass grunge crunch sounded just like it did back in the day. And Chris' voice... perfect.

However, judging by the crowd, show was a bit boring in comparison to who had the same stage the other 2 nights, Lady Gaga and Green Day. Whereas they had full arena-style stage shows, Soundgarden just stood still and played. Played the hell outta the songs, mind you. But... by the end of the show, only half of the fans were still there. The others went home or abandoned Soundgarden to go see Arcade Fire.

Yeah, I'd say that's more of a condemnation of the music and underscores the fact that the crowds are there because she's trendy. Weird thing to point out to your audience.
