I loved the 22-20s. Just my kind of music -blues rock and raw. I didn't realize the lead singer was such a snazzy guitar player. And they are all nice guys as well. I will let Jaguar elaborate on our encounter with them. But I really look forward to seeing them again. (An Immortal Lee County Killers II + 22-20s tour would be superb.)
I wasn't into Jet. They were tight and strong, but they had no heart. Except for their single, I was a little bored.
I left before Kings of Leon…
Jet, like Kurosawa said, were competent but not my kind of music in the very least. I kept thinking of Humble Pie and other similar early 70s music during their set. Never liked that stuff then and don't like it now.
Kings Of Leon were better than I expected them to be but not my thing. As GGW said, they were too samey, which was probably their biggest flaw. I did like them better than Jet but still can't say that I like them. They started out okay but kept repeating the same themes. The few times they sounded different were during a couple slower pieces which did nothing for me. They do sound much better live than on record. I was actually glad that there was no encore because I had had my fill by then.
A few of the people in the crowd looked like they were cleaned up and wearing their Sunday John Deere best.
