    I am having a hard time putting my finger on why I think it's actually a perfect pairing in some bizarre way

    McCartney is playing with Nirvana????

    Sir Paul didn't know who they were? Come ON. Live under a rock, much?

    He knew Nirvana, he didn't realize Dave/Kris were the guys.

    It sounds like they may play a new song they came up with.

    I was trying to think of what songs they could attempt with Paul and actually have it work. I came up with 2:

    About A Girl
    and
    All Apologies

    Courtney Love is probably shitting her pants right now because the media is billing this as a Nirvana reunion. She's going to have her lawyers at the ready to sue the pants of the Robin Hood foundation if anyone even breathes that word on the official telecast.

    Any idea what time Ed and Roger will perform?

    I ask, only because the TV guide lists the concert as 270 minutes long...so yeah...long, long fucking concert, and I can see my ass getting tired of sitting in the chair. It'd be nice to skip, say, the Kanye West/Billy Joel/Alicia Keys/Bon Jovi parts of the show.

    He knew Nirvana, he didn't realize Dave/Kris were the guys.

    From his quote I took it to mean he was surprised that they hadn't played live together for all this time.

    Yep. His tone is too thin and weak to pull off such a soaring solo. I'd imagine Comfortably Numb would be a similar case. Also not a big fan of the way Ed sings it. It's like it's in his range but, but he's not quite grasping the phrasing or something. They have the skill to pull it off, but are kinda lazy with it.

    I agree, except for Bon Jovi ;) 4 1/2 hrs....damn

    I was underwhelmed with their cover of Mother.

    Clapton toured with Roger when he toured The Pro's and Con's of Hitchhiking, so I hope Clapton plays it. Gilmour would be better though.
