Wow, Mike!! Sounds like quite the show. I can only dream that some day a show like yours will come to Toronto. At best 2 of these bands might be featured together on the same billing at a concert festival, here -- the rest, unfortunately would be filler.

Is this Carling Festival an annual thing??
Bill

But lots of live music in the shape of the 3 day Carling Festival. Me and the missus and a bunch of friends had an excellent time and saw some great bands. Basically it was a main stage and 2 smaller stages which were like huge circus tents and a case of a short walk to each. Simply far too many bands to mention but here are some:-
Morrissey – The old fart still has it
White Stripes – Intense stuff
Super Furry Animals – Absolutely bloody brilliant
Ash – Great
Razorlight – Outstanding
Franz Ferdinand - I’m not a huge fan but they were very good and had the crowd with them all the way
Modest Mouse – Sounded a bit shaky at first but soon warmed up
Graham Coxon (ex Blur) – might have to check his album out
The Stills – Exceptional
The Darkness – No doubt about it they are good live and a fantastic firework show too
New York Dolls – I was a little sceptical at first but they blew quite a few acts off the stage. They looked knackered but sounded great.

Also saw The Wildhearts, Libertines, 5678’s, The Ordinary Boys, The Roots, Reel Big Fish (ska still lives!) The Hives (barking mad) Soulwax,

All in all a pretty outstanding weekend,

Cheers
