I was at the Pumpkins show yesterday. Awesomeness.

The Pumpkins opened at V with Today, great crowd singing along. They were pretty good, wrecked their set though IMO with some god awful selfindulgant jams, about 30 minutes all up. No wonder Iha didnt want back in.

HIghlight of their set for me was probably tonight tonight. I missed the Hordern show on thursday, up to that point, I've been at every show they've played in sydney including an acoustic studio effort on triple j and a 'secret' gig at the o/s passenger terminal. Last night was easily the weakest of the shows I've seen.

Personaly, Modest Mouse and Jesus and Mary Chain put in better efforts on the main stage yesterday. Highlight though was air...

What are you geniused?

Modest Mouse was ok. JAMChain stood motionless and played albeit a tight set.
QOTSA Rocked hard. SP rounded out the night in brilliant style.

From the sounds of things its probably a good thing you missed the Horden show.
United States was rather similar, but had longer feedback indulgence.

I didnt get to see AIR - so I cant pass judgement there.

What are you geniused?

If you say so

Modest Mouse was ok.

Ok? I thought they were great. JOhnny Marr adds a lot to them

JAMChain stood motionless and played albeit a tight set.

what did you expect? they sounded great and thats the point. great songs, great band

QOTSA Rocked hard.

only saw a couple of songs and thought they were dull

SP rounded out the night in brilliant style.

brilliant moments, like the opener today or tonight tonight mixed with poor songs and self indulgant crap. corgan has disappeared so far up his own arse its not funny. the new stuff just doesnt cut it. A shadow of the band they used to be....

Went to the GC show,was f**king poorly organised.
They were running late,there were mud puddles everywhere not covered up so people had mud all over their feet and clothes - Kind of funny actually.

Robyn was good,Queens Of The Stone Age were good,Air were good,Duran Duran were good.
Smashing Pumpkins...yeah...alright...but Billy went crazy on his guitar for like 25 minutes playing no kind of tune whatsoever...when you're freezing and wanting to go home and wash your feet it gets a bit overkill.
Was still good though.

Hordern > V Fest.

The only sh*t thing about both gigs was the overzealous, wanky feedback "solos" during United States. The whole Britney Spears "piece of me" thing, what the f? Also, they ended fifteen minutes early!?

Loved JAMC, highly underrated band. Put on a fantastic set imo (anyone got a list?). What their show lacks in movement, in makes up for in awesome'ness.

Queens were great, however I was slightly un-impressed by the set. No "Feel Good" Or "Lost Art"? Was hanging out for "Millionaire" as the opener, as per their sideshows.

Probably the most smooth run festival I've been to (not just saying that because I work for Virgin).
Five minutes walk to waiting (free!) buses to Central. I was on the 10:15 home.

V > BDO.
