All in all, this made for a great set-up, except there was only one video screen in the stadium. We wandered around the grounds, checking out the goths, the punks, the 12 year-old Limp Bizkit fans. The food selection was better than average, with an international food court where we ate chicken satay rolls. My goal for the afternoon was to stay out of the sun as much as possible and people-watch. I was psyched to see them because I really dig their album.
Kyuss members play metal with a sense of humor and pop sensibility.
The Queens played a strong set of tunes from their album Rated R . We wandered over to the smaller, indoor green stage to catch The Avalanches . This Aussie band's infectious musical concoctions charmed the large crowd. Any band who samples dialogue from Polyester on their album is okay by me. Unfortunately, the crowd was so large and the stage so low, it was impossible to see the band from where we were staying.
