    It was great, i hope they'll repeat it next year, cause it was great and Parc Jean Drapeau is amazing for outdoor concert. So many surprise, Holy Fuck, Damien Marley, Joseph Arthur, Flaming Lips (first time for me). Sonic Youth were great as usual, local Malajube and Vulgaires Machins were amazing on the main stage. Can't wait for Osheaga '07 (Radiohead would be great ;) )

    Only thing is that you can't see them all, for example i choosed Holy Fuck instead of Lady Soveregn and that kind of choice were hard to make.
