Oh and for what it's worth....The Flaming Lips suck my ass. God they sucked. I've heard some of their stuff before and thought it was OK, but this sucked.
Pearl Jam
The Who (are we counting them?)
Incubus
Flaming Lips
Tenacious D
Foo Fighters
I like the Flaming Lips, but I wasn't super impressed with their performance.
If we are including The Who, then this would be more order dead on!...Actually I would make one switch and that would be adding Adam Sandler before the Foo's performance...."who wants The Who?, who wants The Who?, who wants The Who?"...classic right there.
But I would rather watch the shitty Foo's performance over any reality TV show any day of the week!
Ok, I didn't realize Dave was sick, however on "young man's blues" it really didn't sound that bad sounded pretty good. That's why I was like "what the hell?" when the Supergrass singer came in. Kind of killed the whole concept, cause Dave's voice sounded decent on the first track even if he was under the weather.
I saw the who in OKC for the 2nd time back in 2007, and Roger had the flu recently before. For days, my friend and I read Pete's blog to see if the show was on or a no go. Well the show happened and I was scared it was gonna suck ass cause Roger had been sick. The show ended up being great but to keep Roger's voice from wearing out Pete sang a bit more lead parts than usual. Rogers voice did crack when he talked to us between songs, but really I didn't see any problem overall. My friend made the observation about Pete on vox more than usual. Point is, I think Dave could have pulled it off sick or not. Like someone said Taylor could have sang more lead parts that Dave's sickness would prevent his voice from hitting. I really don't think "Bargain" is a vocal challenge for Dave. Now had they done "won't get fooled again" the scream part in there may have been murder on his vocal cords.
The Who-Hey...its their night. Also this the third time I've seen the Who...oh yeah I went to the show. Pete really played really well that night, I think he was just trying to keep up with Mike.

you guys are crazy
the foos stole that show-and I dont even like them that much
reign oer me is a boring song
and the feel the real me was good
but bargain was better. and the young mans blues had that raw energy that was the early who
pj sounded to polished, I hate to say
and I agree that lips have no freaking business on that stage Coyne cannot sing at all
incubus was better than I thought they would be
and the tea with me at the end was brilliant (even though Roger has lost a little of the energy in his voice)

whoa i can't believe i'm reading this adam i hate to call you clueless but but ....
man, talk about mass produced pop-music fans when it comes to this thread.... the foo early in their career with Smear and the such was good.....but dont ever include the foo with anything of substance anymore
no credit to the lips? are you kidding me? i guess you've never been to a lips show then. "the feel the real me"? you mean "the real me"?
foo fighters? incubus? what is this? 2001? wheres the mentos video at? what a bunch of crap....
oh, and jack black is NOT funny, nor is his band....

a tip - A)go listen to everything the flaming lips have ever done go to one of their shows....then we can talk...i love saying this especially because it pisses people off - foo fighters suck - i cant respect someone who was once the drummer for alanis morrisette...
Pj is first based on there rendition of the real me, and all due respects to the the who, but the historical footage was more interesting and exciting than their perfomance...don't get me wrong, i'm the same vintage as ed and similiarily cut my teeth on the who in the mid 70's and i luv em and all but not their performance last nite.

Plus you know that EV should just stood up and ripped a squeeze box, followed by a magic bus, followed by baba. Thats a tribute hermano!

Sorry but I have to disagree with basically 99.9% of what you said. I thought the Foo's butchered "Young Man Blues"....and "Bargain" was just as bad if not worse...Grohl was not feeling well and it showed. The Foo Fighters were sloppy and far from top form.
But anyways..."Tea and Theatre" was a nice way to end it though...I'll give you that much.

well even if he *can*, he couldn't on the performance because he didn't have a voice! (legit)
I definitely assumed that was the case (during the first song it was clear his voice was struggling). I think Dave could have pulled off that song on a normal day though. he has a much stronger voice than people give him credit for I think.

PJ were incredible, Jeffy, Jeffy, Jeffy, sorry the camera work was so fucking wonky and the direction so awful that we didn't really get a clear shot of anyone but Eddie, or especially Brendan, it was his night to shine out front, and they put some chimpanzee with untreated attention deficit disorder in the control room. I wish someone could dig up the soundcheck, because Stone said they really nailed it at the soundcheck, and the show's performance wasn't as good -- huh?
I'm not including the Who, so I'd put Incubus second, and I thought the rest of it was a sheer embarrassment to the Who --it's that Internet mentality that anyone can do anything if they grab an opportunity, just because you're a big fan of someone doesn't mean you belong performing at their tribute concert. And Adam Sandler is a waste of sperm and egg.
These things are so contrived and overproduced and an insult to the intelligence -- between the commercials and the promos for what passes as programming on VH-1, egads! But the way PJ cuts through the bullshit...that's what the Who used to do...before Pete handed I Can See For Miles over to Jiffy Fucking Lube...

I actually thought the guy from Supergrass sounded great on the Foos second song, and saved their performance.
You're nuts!
Incubus did really well, but PJ just blew everyone away. I like both bands and it wasn't close.
