Notes on kanrocksas day 2

I came late to the festival again. I heard muffled sounds of ok go as I entered the speedway and when I was almost there they ended nice start to a festival right? Well it did get better and I was lucky every turn.
Cage the elephant: I thought they banned crowd surfing but he did it. they played a handfull of old jams from the debut but they played more of the new album I reviewed a few months ago. This band or rather the Singer was energetic and it made the crowd Good n crazy which I thought was a unacomplishable feat because someone was all like "hey I wish coldplay came." And another Guy saying " naw a band like radiohead with a weird cult following would be fun" I wanted to shoot him you know. But anyway back to cage the elephant... he leaped off stage and jumped into the crowd everyone rushed torward him and luckily I got pushed all the way in front and I enjoyed the concert a lot better. The songs ain't no rest for the wicked and shake me down had everyone singing and he came down during rubber ball and hummed right in front of us in the left I took a picture but he was leaving when I took it. Then when they played the final song sabertooth tiger he jumped into the crowd again and stood up.
Flogging molly: the irish american band wooed up the crowd a lot the bassist even came down to talk to the fans which i took lots of pictures with. great band irish punk is a good description of em but great enrgy feedback from the crowd.
the black keys: yeah they were awesome they had great lil solos added to thier song list they played some old songs but mostly newer songs like everlating light, tighten up, howling for you and next girl. we called them for an encore but they refused and we were all dissapointed.
Muse: damn i never saw them live but matt is a hipster. he also betrays his country by playing riffs of the star spangled banner an anti british song. anyway the band was graet the live proformance was really awesome matt has wicked guitar skills he even tried to mimic primus bass skills and he said "it would be better if i had a 6 string bass huh?" the bassist was amazing not as good as primus bassist though and matt was really energetic and he kinda went off a little playing long solos after the song ended but thats great that they can improvise live. anyway they left the stage and we had to call them out and the encore (if it was an encore and not just planned out) and came back and played a few songs and knights of cydonia being the last song.
sts9: bah i saw them and they were good great vibes and all but after muse they were very energetic but you cant compare rock to electronic you know.
