so we have been here in new york for a few days

i have been lying pretty low

just tooling around a little bit

i went to see pearl jam last night

and they were great

it makes me so happy to see our contemporaries

after several years have rolled by

rocking better than ever

they continue to write good songs

they hit it hard and raw

and the sound of eddie vedder's voice fills me up with hope .........

Never been a massive Chili Peppers fan but muchos respect to Flea :-)

Pearl Jam go back a long way with the Chili Peppers.

Used to do shows together in the early 90's.

And what a lineup that is?!

I really like the Chili Peppers, favourites being 'Blood Sugar Sex Magik' and 'One Hot Minute'.

Funeral is a masterpiece. It'll be regularly referred back to as such in 20-30 years time.

I really like My Bloody Valentine. Loveless is a beautiful piece of work.

TOOL, meh. I liked them when I was about 17. And Snow Patrol have the odd decent tune, (Run, especially for a festival). I like his voice, but I wouldn't dream of buying an album.

I was at V, patiently waiting for Pixies to appear, and Snow Patrol came on and did that coffee table music, 'Run'...it was so dull...but all the V goers loved it! :blink:

Snow Patrol are incredibly dull.

Tool are a very good band with some very interesting musical ideas.

'Neighbourhood #1 (Tunnels)' is a very good song on 'Funeral'. Stands out a long way from the rest for me.

    • TVOD are playing Blue Basement in London 2/9 with a complete EOTR/Psych Fest shaped hole before their next gig in Lyon on 8/9. Well received in the Big Top last year, reckon they're nailed on for a secret set in the Tipi.
    • Didn't they widen the entrance last year to enable them to increase the number of pitches or have I imagined this? Perhaps they might return under a different form of glamping? 
    • It should forever be the Tipi.   Just as the news about Geese was shared on Twitter.
    • It really surprised me that Rock AM Ring made Download feel like an extremely well organised festival with good communication in comparison. If we were to ever try either of them again we would go for IM Park and stop in Nuremberg.     Agree that the long thin mainstage isn't great, but where the mainstage is makes it really hard to navigate when it is busy because of that choke point created by the food vendors, bar/lounges with a view of main and where the crowd is coming form second stage. The concrete is hard on the joints. The front standing is a pisstake and the communication from the fest about what is happening on site other than which campsites are filling up leaves a lot to be desired. Car parks being a free for all doesn't help either.   I think it really suffers being so far from anything other than small towns/villages that lack proper public transport and Koblenz being the closest town which you can can use to get public transport to the fest being 60km away.
    • Yeah its absolutely on me that isn't think Shinia Twain was an awful choice- i get that.  Im still of the paul simon, ELO kind of thoughts but I realise things change. Im still intrigued what constitutes legend though. Robert plant played and he wasn't a legend slot- to me that would have fitted. Is it a ' comedy ' ' good time ' slot now? Comedy isn't the right word - guilty pleasure or something like that?
