For me, I'll go for:

1. Pink Floyd
2. The Who
3. Robbie Williams

(PS, I thought the UK gig was far better than the US one).

Sorry that's four. And I think we'll all agree that Roxy Music had something of a 'singing in tune problem'.

As did Roger Waters, but hey, Dave Gilmour more than made up with his vocal and guitar performance.

Fair enough. That eliminates the 'singing' issue, but try and get out of the 'numerical' issue!

Hmmm, how about...

Dave Gilmour played on White City by Pete Townsend so the Who & the Floyd are really one band?

3. Pink Floyd

special commendation to:
Stereophonics (first band to really give it some)
Dido & Youssou N'dour ("7 seconds"... it was emotional)
Sir Bob ("Don't Like Mondays"... got the crowd involved)
Robbie Williams (what a showman?!!... the crowd was like putty in his hands)

ps. The Cure in Paris looked good too!!

Well it wasn't Pete Docherty who has been charged with Murder of Bolan's Children Of The Revolution. My guess is that Elton will have been sorely p*ssed at that drugged up rendition. Completely talentless.

1) The Who
2) Robbie Wiliams
3) Keane


Plus a huge missed opportunity for someone to have done Queen's Radio Ga Ga.
