What a great day this was. I only went to the Sunday, but really that was the one that mattered because of Pearl Jam – who were amazing.

It would be remiss of me not to rave a little about Placebo, who despite a couple of unfortunate technical issues put on a great show. The Dresden Dolls were also great, their version of War Pigs (on piano / drums) was of particular note. But, in the end it was Pearl Jam who stole the day.
