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. They played for 2 hours, with 2 encores and unexpected highlights such as Iron Man from Eddie on the ukulele. I think everyone there would agree they were witness to something very special and at times pretty moving. Its been a long time since Ten first blew me away, and many memorable moments have unfolded with it (and other of their albums) as a soundtrack.

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.

Great video from YouTube, I though it was a Fat Boy Slim video when I saw it over someones shoulder in the Mac store in London last week. But its not its a band called Ok Go.
