I never got around to posting the second half which will be more abbreviated. It does give me something to do while Still A Stroke gets schooled on faster freestyle starts.
After big fat Aretha did her set with help from Annie Lennox, the set went dark and I heard James say "We're Metallica and this is what we do". They played a song by themselves and then had Ray Davies come out for "All Day and All Thru The Night". Cool. Then Lou Reed came out for "Sweet Jane" and I thought Lars rushed him something fierce. Very noticeable to me. Very. Next was something really cool, Ozzy came out! They played "Iron Man" and went into "Paranoid". Sweet, sweet metal! Ozzy left and they ended with "Enter Sandman".
There was a short Bluesish segment with Jeff Beck where my main man Buddy Guy came out and played "Let Me Love You Baby". Beck also played "People Get Ready" and Sting sang which was OK but I would have preferred Rod Stewart on vocals.
Lastly U2 played too long a set with Bono allowing the crowd to wash over him with his ridiculous Jesus poses. Just sing, man! I didn't understand Fergie and Will I Am being there but they sang with U2 and Mick Jagger on a tune in which Fergie really did sound good on backing vocals....very powerful. Mick, much like Bruce, is almost embarassing to watch at this point. He moved So much trying to get every signature move in within 3 minutes that its a wonder he didn't end up in traction!
All in all, even with my little digs, I've still watched it almost 3 times through already. Its worth buying for the Beck, Ozzy, Buddy and other cool sets I mentioned. Enjoy!
