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...
LOLOLOLOL. I think I'll just let everyone wonder about our little encounter with the 22-20s. They were pretty good and show a lot of potential. Besides the Detroit Garage sound, they also reminded me a lot of very early Clapton/Paige/Mayall and other British Blues legends. Not quite the caliber but the same sort of sound.
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.
