My Lollapalooza 2008
Clark Benson My Lollapalooza 08 rankings and mini-reviews. Powerhouse lineup - great year, especially for the headliners.
- 1
Alternative rock, Electronic music, Alternative metal More“ Phenomenal 2hr+ set. Best I've ever seen them. To top Radiohead AND Rage is a pretty major feat.

Alternative rock, Hard rock, Heavy metal More“ Tied for #2 with Radiohead

Alternative rock, Progressive rock, Electronic music More“ Radiohead is never disappointing, and this beat their Bonnaroo 06 (07?) set, but this set definitely had a few lulls.

The Gutter Twins
Alternative rock, Rock music“ 2PM in 90 degree heat is NOT when you want to see these guys, but they more than rose to the challenge. Badass 60min set.

Alternative rock, Rock music, Hard rock More“ http://setlist.fm/setlist/the-raconteurs/2008/lollapalooza-chicago-il-3d6b57b.html „ - 6
Folk rock, Punk rock, Oi! More“ I go way back with these guys, to the Molly Malone's days - and while I've always been a fan, the live side had never quite blown me away like it did in those days - until this show. The place went OFF. Pogoing, moshing Midwesterners could not have been more appreciative.
http://setlist.fm/setlist/flogging-molly/2008/lollapalooza-chicago-il-3d6b54f.html „ - 7 Alternative rock, Post-punk, Gothic rock More“ Was fun seeing this full set and most of their Coachella set this year, never having seen them before. Did not disappoint.
http://setlist.fm/setlist/love-and-rockets/2008/lollapalooza-chicago-il-3d6b557.html „ - 8 Rock music, Progressive rock, Post-rock More“ Had a few pretty epic moments, tho the Coachella show I saw them do was the one that really floored me. Still, pretty great watching like 25K people really getting into an instrumental set.
http://setlist.fm/setlist/explosions-in-the-sky/2008/lollapalooza-chicago-il-bd6b562.html „ - 9 Post-rock, Experimental rock, Indie rock More“ I've seen them much better.
http://setlist.fm/setlist/broken-social-scene/2008/lollapalooza-chicago-il-3d6b563.html „ - 10 Alternative rock, Rock music, Hard rock More“ http://setlist.fm/setlist/the-black-keys/2008/lollapalooza-chicago-il-bd6b57a.html „
- 11 Folk music, Folk rock, Indie rock More“ Love this band but need to see a fuller set of theirs (his) live. Saw about 40mins here, wasn't blown away, and may never be live at least (but did I mention that I love this band).
http://setlist.fm/setlist/iron-and-wine/2008/lollapalooza-chicago-il-bd6b556.html „ - 12 Folk music, Alternative rock, Folk rock More“ Never a huge fan of her live though she's improved over the years.
http://setlist.fm/setlist/cat-power/2008/lollapalooza-chicago-il-1bd6b570.html „ - 13 Indie rock, Glam metal, Post-punk revival More“ Partial set. kinda fun.
„ - 14 Rock music, Pop rock, Rhythm and blues More“ Partial - only saw a few songs (which were good)
http://setlist.fm/setlist/duffy/2008/lollapalooza-chicago-il-3d6b577.html „ - 15 Rhythm and blues, Soul music, Funk“ Partial - what I saw was just OK
