Lithium was great, as well as everything from Daft Punk and Muse. Not sure I've ever hung out until the end, but those two sets were fuckin' fantastic!

I've been impressed by the crowds all three years that the city has been hosting Lollapalooza. Considering the large numbers of people that are in attendance and drinking alcohol, I would agree that most have been pleasant and polite. Maybe the frat boys and the hipsters can get along after all, eh? My favorite Lolla memory might be the The Polyphonic Spree's rendition of Lithium for their encore. That gave me goosebumps...

Thought this would be a good place to express how impressed I was by Flosstradomus' set. To say they worked the crowed into a frenzy would be an understatement. Come on, crowdsurfing at the Mindfield stage? Phenomenal. It was a lot of fun seeing the two of them just as amazed by the crowd's reaction. And screw the "too much Lolla" coverage whiners, more post-event stories please. Keep the memories going on and, on and, on and, on....
