I agree... And when they find me I will have the tan lines in the form of the letters TLR across my ass!

Maybe I should just turn myself in right now to the appropriate authorities...I'm being framed.

The DVD is out? Is it any good? Review please.

FYI - The only city that it's been released as a 2 DVD package is in Toronto, as a kind of gift. It's released to the rest of the world as only 1 DVD.

The entire 2 DVD package is simply amazing, bringing back tons of memories of that day. Some people didn't go because there were 'too many people', but I figure, if you could go back in time to Woodstock and see Jimi Hendrix live, albeit on a video screen or a distant figure or just to hear him play LIVE, wouldn't you go?

The classic lineup included The Guess Who, Rush, AC/DC and The Rolling Stones.

Believe it or not, I had new respect for Justin Timberlake. He definitely broke out of his 'Boy Band Trash' mold, and his music is more funkier (and as a result, more genuine) than that 'Boy Band Trash' he was into. He was honest and humble, and you gotta respect a guy that slept with Britney! Especially her first! haha...cherries anyone? I'm not saying I'll buy his CD or even download anything from him, but I do have more respect for him as an artist.

For the Guess Who and Rush, you just had to be fans to appreciate their sets. Guess Who and The Isley Bros. (a band that played earlier on) were the only bands from the Stones' era. Rumor had it that Lenny Kravitz was supposed to join the Guess Who for 'American Woman', but didn't. Rush, if you were a fan, were all smiles, and all good time rock n' roll. Loud, Powerful but amusing...they had washing machines on their stage to indicate the 'washing away of SARS' from Toronto.

AC/DC quite simply stole the show. 'Nuff said. They played much more Bon-era stuff, and Hell's Bell & the Cannons were noticeably missing. I was surprised that they didn't play 'For Those About To Rock' 'Stiff Upper Lip' and 'High Voltage'.

Several thousand fans were seen leaving after AC/DC's set, but the Stones rocked out mercilessly.even with Justin Timberlake. Keith Richards got noticeably argumentative and vocal toward front row fans that were tossing cups and garbage at Timberlake. The duet with Angus & Malcolm Young on 'Rock Me Baby' brought a tear to my eye, as I has never event dreamed such an event would take place, let alone in my hometown. The Stones' setlist was obvious yet heartwarmingly rocking, and their choice of screen images were amusing to watch.

490,000 fans, the largest ticketed single day concert in history.

And I was there.

I WANTED Triumph to reunite for the show. I WANTED VAN HALEN to reunite with Roth for the show. I WANTED some sort of Beatle involvement. I WANTED Bryan Adams to show up. I WANTED Honeymoon Suite to show up. I WANTED Lenny Kravitz to jam with The Guess Who. I WANTED Bono or U2 to somehow be involved.

It rocked anyway.

I'm sure you've allseen theis EVH quote but here it is anyway, I think its cool:

""(Panama) was kind of AC/DC-inspired. We had just done a tour with them the year before. It was us, Motley Crue and AC/DC in '83, in Europe, and just the power of those guys blew my mind--the constant "boom, boom, boom." They play the same song over and over, but it's a great song. AC/DC was probably one of the most powerful live bands I've ever seen in my life. The energy...they were just unstoppable. I'll never forget our first big tour. It was a theater-sized tour--3,000-seaters. We headlined a bill featuring Ronnie Montrose and Journey. We were supposed to do 60 shows, but we left early because we had an offer to do "A Day on the Green" [a Bill Graham concert production held in Oakland, California]. I think Aerosmith and Foreigner were co-headlining. We had our own trailer, and next door to us were AC/DC, who were also playing that day. Anyway, they went on before us, and I was standing on the side of the stage thinking, "We have to follow these motherfuckers?" They were so fuckin' powerful, but I remember feeling that we held our own. I was really happy. It blew my mind. I didn't think anybody could follow them. "

Note: Contrary to what my spelling may have led you to believe, I am not a Spammy Gaybar fan.

AC/DC has the Class to give fans of Bon Scott the goods(i.e. the Let There Be Rock movie, Bonfire Box set). They've never been afraid of the past, instead they celebrate it at every show. And they still kick majo ass, having NEVER tried to be the flavor of the day.

Angus and Co. are a class act.

I have a TON of respect for Brian Johnson. I met him in the Ft. Lauderdale airport a few years back and he was totally cool.
