Caught a set last night with The Nightwatchman, more commonly known as Tom Morello from Rage Against the Machine. His set wasn't hyped up, but there was a lot of talk about it given the impending reunion of Rage at Cochella. He's a powerful performer and knows how to command the crowd. But, before he took the solo stage, he was joined by a few familiar faces--like Slash from Guns and Roses, Alexi Murdoch, Wayne Kramer, Les Claypool and Perry Farrell from Jane's Addiction. MTV scooped me by a few hours.
Holy crap, what a set. It wasn't long, but it was fun as hell. Their jam-session version of Woody Guthrie's "This Land Is Your Land" was a rare glimpse into the creative molding those talented musicians do everyday. It was far from perfect, but it couldn't have been better. Morello left the stage saying, "Have a great rest of the weekend but you ain't gonna top that shit." Well, it's pretty hard to top the amount of legendary talent on that stage.




This is the best photo I got ... I just like it cause Slash has a cigarette hanging out his mouth. It seem no one wanted to tell him smoking isn't allow in Austin's bars.


Cheers!

Maybe Austin is like NY City - they have an exemption for "performance artists."

All you Keef Richards types should explore that litle loophole.

Since when is Tom Morello Irish? Have you listened to it? Reminds me of a crappy version of Flogging Molly.
