Review of Lollapalooza Day One from Greg Kot of The Chicago Tribune

Lollapalooze 2009 Day One is over, and even though it was wet, the rain didn't stopped most of the 60,000 people from having a good time. Thunder storms and extreme heat, unfortunately, are forecasted for Saturday and Sunday.

This year's Lolla has a great lineup compared to years past, featuring headliners such as Fleet Foxes, Depeche Mode, The Killers, Jane's Addiction, Vampire Weekend, The Decemberists, Kings of Leon, Animal Collective, Arctic Monkeys, TV On The Radio, The Raveonettes, Passion Pit, Silversun Pickups, Band of Horses and many others. Below is a list of IRC picks for Lollapalooza 2009 shows, including band or artist, schedule time and stage name.

White Lies - "Death"
Bon Iver - "Babys"
Heartless Bastards - "If I Were A Carpenter"
The Virgins - "Basics Of A Conversation"
The Decemberists - "Rake Song"
Andrew Bird - "See The Enemy"

Sunday, August 9 - Highlighted Lollapalooza Performances. There are many more intriguing earlier performances on Sunday than the previous two days, but they will probably not attract the crowds they otherwise would for two reasons; one, the excessive heat that is expected and two it's the last day of the festival with a good chunk of people having to leave to get back for work on Monday. Yet overall, Sunday looks like the best day with many must-see and hope-to-see shows.

Friendly Fires - 12:30-1:30 (Budweiser) - "Jump In The Pool"
Ra Ra Riot - 12:30-1:30 (Chicago 2016) - "Dying Is Fine"
Portugal The Man - 12:30-1:30 (PlayStation) - "People Say”
Bat For Lashes - 1:30-2:30 (vitaminwater) - "Moon And Moon"
Kaiser Chiefs - 2:30-3:30 (Budweiser) - "Heat Dies Down"
The Raveonettes - 3:30-4:30 (PlayStation) - "Suicide" (new track)
Neko Case - 4:30-5:30 (Budweiser) - "Middle Cyclone"
Vampire Weekend - 4:30-5:30 (Chicago 2016) - "Oxford Comma"
Passion Pit - 5:00-6:00 (Citi) - "Sleepyhead"
