A 2:35 am Kanye West performance accompanied with an over hyped light show sounds good. Then when this is to follow performances on the same stage with Jack Johnson and Pearl Jam it sounds great. But, it didn't turn out quite as it was planned. The Chicago native didn't take the stage until around 4:30 am, which caused his perfomance to end as the sun was rising. According to an AP article:
"Ken Weinstein, a spokesman for the annual festival held on a 700-acre site south of Nashville, said the delay was simply a matter of unloading the Pearl Jam stage (the band went an hour past its scheduled end time, playing until about 1:15 a.m.) and loading the West stage."
But, the major rumor circulating around the campground was that West had refused to take the stage until all other acts had finished playing. Is it just a coinicidence that Phil Lesh and Chali 2Na( the last two scheduled acts) had finished before West took the stage? The festival goers didn't seem to think so, as "Kanye Sucks" was written on the spray-paint walls entering CenterRoo and chanted before concerts, including before O.A.R. took the stage on Sunday evening.
