HE hates it when people mosh (I gues that's understandable considering his newer stuff), hates it when people cheer too much, he doesn't even like it when people move around, and even complained that some fans weren't "feeling" certain songs the right way because they were apparantly bobbing there heads to a song that didn't call for that. So yeah, he definitly isn't cut out for the old festivals anymore imo.

Hmmm... saw Matt Good here in Halifax about 3 weeks ago. He was very engaged with the crowd, talking, joking, encouraging crowd movement and participation during the faster songs. The new material was EXCELLENT live and this coming from a guy who isn't a big fan of his newer albums. It seems like he really enjoys playing with his new band and it comes across in his attitude. Give him a chance, it really appears that he has conquered his demons. His behvaiour in the past was largely a product of his mental problems, IMO.

Saw them in Montreal at le Spectrum. I'm not the biggest fan but it was a fun show in a classic venue. Don't think it would translate as good in an outdoor atmosphere.

Scotts vocals were alright, I've seen some live footage where he was off key and just out of it, he did fine last night.
I never had the chance to see them before, they were booked to come through Alberta with Megadeth in '91 but didn't make it. Anyways, their set exceeded my expectations, what a band. I cant imagine how much of a letdown the Hip will be as a headliner tonight after STP's set on Saturday.

SO glad to hear this. I saw them in Aug 2000 with RHCP. Scott stole the show that night... by the time the Peppers took the stage it didn't even matter if they were good or not, STP gave everyone their money's worth. Was going to head up to Quebec to see them again in a couple weeks but was skeptical that the band would still have it. Now I guess I better grab some tickets.
