I was at the show yesterday.
The Burning Spear was really great, the band enjoyed themself. But after that I though the daydream nation stuffs wen boring !
The sound was terrible for a SY show (actually the sound was not 'bad' but 'common' for a rock gig, but the 4 previous SY shows that I went before had a really really great sound) so I didn't really get into the performance.
It was also a bit sad to see them playing the same stuffs as at the Méditéranéennes, while I was hopping for something 'special' tonight.
The Rather Ripped songs and the encore where more enjoyable, but the sound was still terrible.
I think actually it was a bad choice for the band to play the daydream nation stuffs (they played 6 songs from it, almost the half of the show), because it seemed automatic for them. But I don't blame them for this. The problem was the sound quality (and Thurston also complained about the lighting). The festival being a world music festival, I think they wouldn't make it right anyway. I really think actually Christophe Wavelet from the Life is an hardcore fan and wanted them to play, which was a good idea.
There is an article today in Presse Océan (newspaper) by the way.
