How was Gogol Bordello live?
I have always wanted to see them, and I heard they have a kick ass live show, but that it's best in a smaller venue.
I only stuck around for a couple songs, and it looked pretty much identical to every performance I'd seen from them before on TV or youtube or whatever.. I assumed it was pretty much the same for the entire hour and a half.
Was Kanye West pretty good live?
He was alright, but everyone there was insanely pissed at him. He was originally scheduled to play at like 8:15 on the second stage. A week before the show, they announced that he would play on the main stage at 2:45 am so he could do his entire light show thingy.
Well, 2:45 comes around, and the screen says Kanye will play at 3:00. At 3:00, it says he will play at 3:15. At 3:15, it says he will play at 3:30. He finally starts around 4:30 and has a really corny spaceship/video/skit thing for his entire show. He's a good performer, but I was tired and the sun was coming up so I left at like 5:00 before he was done. If he would have started an hour earlier, I would have probably really enjoyed his show. (It should be noted that most of the delay was due to setting up the stage...and Pearl Jam played an hour and a half longer than was scheduled).
It was really weird the next day to hear all the hippies bitch about Kanye. I mean, that's all anyone at the festival wanted to talk about.
