Report: Neil Young rocks Isle of Wight festival by playing mostly classics, not his new stuff…

Neil Young played a great set at Isle of Wight, a music festival in the UK. He brought out mostly classics, staying away from his new music. He even played, “Hey Hey My My”, and ending the set with a Beatles cover, “A Day In the Life”. After the song got over with, Neil blasted his guitar amp with loud feedback by shaking the instrument, and breaking the guitar strings off of it. A 60 something year old man, still rocking hard with energy. Neil Young has been in the UK to prepare for his performance at the huge “Glastonbury” festival.

The Listening Room: Hear the Police perform “Message In a Bottle” at Isle of Wight…

My opinion still haven’t changed on the band. The Police sucks. They aren’t good as they used to be anymore. I think the problem is that Sting’s voice is too strong and powerful, that is not the Police style. Sting didn’t sing like that back in the 80’s when he was in the band. This is a terrible performance.

The Sex Pistols seem to steal the show at Isle of Wight, Sex Pistols were great!
