Filmed at the Congress Theater, Chicago for the US TV series Soundstage and originally broadcast in U.S. in July 2009, the show sees Billy Idol, with trademark sneer and peroxide hair very much to the fore, reunited with guitarist Steve Stevens, who played on (& sometimes co-wrote) all his 1980s hits. The tracklist runs from early Generation X favorites, through his classic solo singles and up to tracks from his most recent album, "The Devil’s Playground."

Jack Johnson - Live Earth
Jack Johnson, a Jimmy Buffet-type whose lyrics were as appropriate as could be. He seemed to be more of an environmentalist than the other activist acts heard throughout the day, who were mostly anti-war. “How many train wrecks do we need to see/Its bad and getting worse/Where did all the good people go?” Other lyrics, and these are rough takes on the fly, included “Traffic in the sky and its not getting better/It’s enough to make me cry/How could we have known/Its not so hard to tell.” He pointed out a sticker on his guitar that read climatecounts.org where you can check out how big companies rate environmentally.
Flow
A turbulent day in a life, painted by air.
