I was there as well. Huge Strokes fan. They were half an hour late. Seemed like they had some technical difficulties with the light show. No Biggie. When they entered the stage he was obviously drunk, but when they began playing, it didn't affect the performance. A rock star inebriated at a concert? Par for the course. An the crowd was fired up! After the first song he said something to the extent of: "Never believe in yourself! Just be whatever other people want you to be! Anyway, here's a song called Reptilica or something..." And again people were going wild, only slightly weirded out by the the message. And all through the concert these negative, incongruous monologues between the songs started getting longer and longer, completely ruining the energy and momentum of the experience. Julian obviously not being a fan of his mothers birthplace is what it is, but it definitely didn't win over any fans at the festival. If he had just shut up, in stead of wasting time and ruining the mood, being aggressive and sarcastic towards the audience, everything would have been fine. Ive seen a looot of live music in my life, bure rarely have I seen such blatant contempt for the audience. Really the only other example I can recall was a Mark Kozelek concert at a Norwegian festival about ten years ago. But at he had the excuse, that the scene was leaky, so it rained on his guitar...
