Is it just me, or is Roger Waters and Eddie Vedder together GREAT!

[Homercidal]

OMG- I just read that out loud to Bob. He said, "Well, tell Homer he needs to read the news once in a while"!

I find it so funny that Bob tells someone to "get out more"!

Oh, yeah, and one more thing- THERE IS AN EDDIE VEDDER MESSAGE BOARD?!?! For real?!?

I read the news on several different websites each morning. Was this on there somewhere?

I'll have to do a Google search for Eddie Vedder discussion boards. I've never felt the urge to find one before.

I'm really just interested in Roger Waters, though. I love me some Pink Floyd. Hard to imagine Vedder singing their songs, but they can make anyone sound great.

Yes, Bob told me about it. It must have been on a news website, because aside from news, the only other thing he reads is NCAA basketball stuff, and nutrition information.

Vedder was awesome, but so was the guitarist/vocalist that sang with Roger Waters earlier. (That was already mentioned, but it bears mentioning again!). He sang all the Dave Gilmour parts exceptionally well, and it really was great.

I went to bed after the Who, so I missed Paul McCartney and Dave Grohl. I agree with the others- I'm not a Who fan really, but holy cow they were great!

Ugh, I'm old. First I hear songs that were popular in my teens in the grocery store and now the guys from Pearl Jam and Nirvana are doing fundraisers. Oh well, beats the alternative.

Are you kidding me? You're a kid! Wait until you hear a song you LOVED as a kid, so you sing along and your grandson smiles. Talk about feeling old!

Thanks for that, appreciate it.
Cool to see my peers (age wise) on stage.
And the lead guitarist did a respectable job. No Gilmore, but it was still good to listen to, grainy video, audio and all...

Cheers!

Re: aging rockers...I was attending an important presentation that some colleagues from work were delivering yesterday in front of maybe 100 people at my work. My 70 yr. old boss was up on stage behind the discussants' table, and in the middle of the presentation his phone goes off, blaring the harmonica intro for "Love Me Do". It was awesome.

I've heard The Who live on TV a few times and sometimes they can sound great and other times you want them to hang it all up. I've never enjoyed a Paul McCartney set I thoroughly enjoyed though. He's just ok for me.

I'd rather listen to an honest, if crappy, live performance than a pitch perfect FAKE autotuned/synced performance ANY DAY. I'm more interested in hearing their real voices, even if they aren't"perfect. That's where the human factor comes in. It's not always about perfect pitch. Hearing the song is just as important. Sometimes it's what the song is about, rather than how well it's technically done.

Queue up the drunken chorus for Danny Boy at Homer's christmas party

Daltrey just impressed the hell out of me.

Amen! Must have impressed the hell out of MC also.
Right after the "Who" set (just before cruising the Sopranos cast), he says "How about Roger Daltrey and Keith Moon?"

Oh Danny, Boy! The Pipes, the pipes are calling.

Come on, everybody, join in!

During the Stones set Mick said something like, "This night is a big collection of old English guys." Had to laugh!

It was obvious why Springsteen, Billy Joel, and Bon Jovi performed at a concert to benefit New York and New Jersey, but it took me a while to catch on as to why there were so many "old Englishmen" performing..............it was all about the target demographic. They were trying to raise money. They weren't going to put on a bunch of acts that only appeal to kids or the American Idol audience.
