Foo Fighters - They did a very awesome version of Young Man Blues, and they did a pretty good version of Bargain, but I guess Grohls vocals were shot or something so they had the guy from Supergrass sing Bargain. They gave one of the more enegetic performances of the night.

Incubus - They played note for note perfect versions of I Can See for Miles and I Can't Explain. But it was a little too perfect. I wanted to see them loosen up and rock out a little more. Of course this is Incubus we're talking about here, since Make Yourself they've never been much of a "rocking out" kinda band. I'm a big fan of Incubus, but Who songs just don't seem like a real good fit for them.

1: Agreed, his voice has really gone downhill though.

2: Agreed on that also, and Taylor sang some also! Made me glad because he usually is left hiding behind Grohll most of the time.

3: But i do not agree with the not "rocking out" since make yourself. I assume you have heard all of A Crow Left of the Murder. Listen to songs like Priceless, Talk Shows On Mute, Megalomaniac, and many others on the album. Maybe i have a different opinion on what rocking out is but for me that hits the spot.

ps: Especially the second half of Priceless, some good guitar work there. Very similar to Frusciante.
