As I am writing this blog and recollecting my thoughts about the highlights of the second day at the Virgin Mobile Fest in Baltimore, I have to be completely honest and tell you that am completely drained and exhausted so please bare with me….

First off, I have to say that Virgin/Mr. Richard Branson did a superb job picking the talent that would grace the two stages and dance tent.  The acts for the second day included Chromeo, Rabbit in the Moon, Deadmau5, Richard Hawtin, Moby, Armin Van Buuren, Lil Wayne, Paramore, Taking Back Sunday, The Black Keys, Iggy Pop, Stone Temple Pilots, Bob Dylan, NIN & Kanye West.  Obviously not all of these groups/performers were great so I am going to put them into three sections Ugly, Pretty Good, Great & Rock Star Status…

Ugly:

Rabbit in the Moon–What a horrible show!!  These guys were awful!!  They are so reminiscent of rave music in the late 90s. One guy was a dead ringer for Will Farrell’s character Mugato from Zoolander!! I’m thinking they’ve been watching Matrix and Blade too much…

Can u really take this guy making music seriously!!! LOL

Lil Wayne–Pretty Bad…Only redeeming quality is when Kanye came out to do Lollipop with him.  He just couldn’t hold the attention of the crowd…

Bob Dylan–Bad Show/Wrong Crowd!

Iggy Pop–Damn, please put your shirt back on…

Armin Van Buuren–Please, Please, Please…Read the crowd better….

Richard Hawtin–Who is the guy??  LOL  That is the review I got from some folks…

Pretty Good:

Deadmau5–Played some great electro!!

Chromeo–WOW!!  A really good show even people who don’t know their music loved it!!  Virgin gotta put these guys on alot later than 12.30!!

Paramore–Sounded good for a pop band!!  Had all the 16 year old girls singing along!!

STP–Hot Show!!

Great:

NIN–Trent Reznor killed it!!

Moby–His DJ set was so energetic!!  He had everybody dancing even himself!!

Rock Star Status:

Kanye West–There were alot of great performers there yesterday.  Only one Rock Star and thats Kanye!! This show was on the level of those great arena shows that you always hear about!  He has truly come into his own!!

Overall this was a great show and can’t wait until next year!!
