V Festival tension - The Black Keys vs. Lil Wayne
- Aug 19, 2008
As I had mentioned in a previous post, the Baltimore Virgin Mobile Festival was fantastic! Without a doubt it was the best festival I've ever attended. The old saying is 'Too much is given, much is tested' so I knew things weren't gonna be all perfect. So Lil Wayne came on 45 minutes late, causing The Black Keys to only perform a small set and the raging Black Keys fans ended up chanting 'LIL WAYNE SUCKS' ... I knew that backstage could get a little heated but I didnt realise that I knew someone with a first-hand account. I was talking to my friend Jeff (who, BTW, had a great view of the stage and was working the backstage security) and he revealed that when the Black Keys first got onstage, the lead member shouted 'Blame Lil Wayne for taking up our time!' When they were done, Lil Wayne went up to the band backstage and apologized for being late. I love when things end on good notes! With all that tension and a few angry fans... I still believe that both performers did an excellent job. See you next year Baltimore!
