New Jersey doesn't get festivals like this unless you like mallcore bands and attend Bamboozle. I wish I was in Chicago because the line up is pretty interesting.

Yes, they didn't really try a new sound until Rubber Factory. But what's wrong with a a bunch of riff-heavy pop rock songs?

Either way the set was (not in order)

Blood Sugar Sex Magik
If You Have to Ask
Magic Johnson
Mommy, Where's Daddy
My Lovely Man

Stone Cold Bush

You'd have to hold a gun to their heads to get them to play those songs live again!

That intro into 'Stone Cold Bush'...

Pop? I don't think so. They were blues-rock. Didn't become pop till the last 2 albums.

There's a memorable riff stuffed into each of their songs, which isn't something most bands can claim...

I would love to see a whole bunch of bands on there... ughhhh I don't think I've ever been to a festival good enough for my liking, screw you Oceania.

I don't actually mind Franz Ferdinand, well in 2006 anyway.
