A strong Courtney Love/ Hole experience was punctuated by frequent claims that “we were her only friends” and other Jim Morrison-esque lyricisms. A little bit odd, but ultimately the audience loved her for it – a double encore was also a nice touch. Love’s on-stage presence made Joan Jett & the Blackhearts look totally contrived.

England’s Babe Ruth was huge in Canada in the 70s – apparent by the flock of middle-aged, tie-dyed, men rocking air guitars – while Marc Cohn ran through a variety of covers. Strangely appealing.

Highlight of the night was 150 odd people gathered on the grass outside the Black Sheep comedy tent because they couldn’t get into the show, sitting on wet grass for 1.5 hrs just to hear Louis C.K.’s extremely crude brand of humour. Personally, I could’ve done without the belaboured delicious cock-sucking bit. Pretty gross.
