Great concert!!
Got there around noon and I was blown away how big the stage was. I through down a blanket as close as I can get, I was right behind the middle big screen thing. After I got all my shit down I just decided to sleep and enjoy some of the music, I thought Sam Roberts was preatty jammin'! During my sleep, I had to start rollin up some "plantations" to get ready for The Guess Who.
After the Blues Brothers I decided to get some hot dogs, took me about an hour in line!!! That kinda pissed me off, and so did Mike Bullard, I really don't like that guy.
Got my dogs just in time for The Guess Who, so I ate them fast, and I sparked up just like everyone else around me. The Guess Who were amazing! American Woman was my highlight of the night. I though Rush did an awsome job too, I love listening to that drummer!
It is true, AC/DC did steal the show! They played all there hit songs and put on quite a show. The Rolling Stones were good, but, I could never get into that kind of music.
Overall, amazing time! and amzing music & bands! Thank God for Toronto!

i had a pretty good time yesterday ( FREE TIX WOOT!) got there abotu 1, wiated about 5 minutes in line hahaha love it, found abit of empty space for our crew ( about 8 of us) we claimed it and guarded it pretty well for most of the day lol, everyone there was blazing which was sick, i ended up burning about like 10 times lol. i must have got lucky cuz for me to get from where i was sitting, to the washrooms, to the food tiecket place, to the food and back, took me less then 1 hour 
all in all, decent day/night would have been better if i was more into rock

Detailed review
My friend Mike and I came to gate 3, which is located on Sheppard and Chesswood) at around 1:30 and we were afraid that we'll end up standing 2-4 hours in line. We only waited for 20 minutes and then we were in Parc Downsview Park! We followed a crowed of 1000-5000 people and quickly made our way towards the inside of the park. After an odd 30 minutes of trying to plow our way towards the stage we came within 20-30 meters of it. La Chicane was playing at the time.
La Chicane
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was a fairly good set. The lyrics were in French but it was fairly mellow (by trance standards) and nice to listen to. By that time I’ve secured a nice sitting area and laid my blanket there. I’ve sat and listened, as more and more people were making their way towards the stage. Once done the crowed applauded their efforts and waited
The Tea Party
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fairly nice set. I was sitting down and relaxing while they were on. People were still rolling in, and my once tidy blanket was beginning to be trampled on by the massive crowed.
The Flaming Lips
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fairly hippy set  . These guys had, what looked to me like, pokemon characters on stage, all wearing SARS masks . I had to stand up at this point because the area near the stage was beginning to become too crowded, and people were giving me the evil eye . The lead singer was blowing big ass balloon balls and throwing them into the crowed. Even though, there were enough beach balls bouncing off the top of people’s head’s, this guys made the biggest balloon ball I’ve ever seen.
Sass Jordan and Jeff Healey
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sass Jordan played a nice set. She was ok, but didn’t leave much of an impression on me.
The Isley Brothers
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These guys have been around longer than the stones! They played very well. Great set overall. Very jazzy at some points 
Blue Rodeo
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
An ok set. It was pretty mellow as I remember.
Jim Belushi, Dan Aykroyd and Have Love Will Travel Revue
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was funny seeing these two perform. They were fairly good considering that they are both actors!
Justin Timberlake
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As was expected the crowed booed and flamed him. He almost got hit by a lemon at one point. Water bottles were flying at him. Apparently he is Canadian
The Guess Who (Canada’s own!)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I must say that these guys rocked TO. They were awesome! Playing many classics such as
Guess Who - American Woman
Guess Who - Share the land
Guess Who - BTO's Taking Care of business
Everyone was going crazy when these guys were playing! After the set a Canadian Air Force jet flew over the crowed! Everyone was cheering and screaming!
Rush
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
An awesome set. It was a bit difficult to hear the lead singer. They played.
Rush - Tom Sawyer
Rush - Closer to the Heart.
The crowed was going wild.
AC/DC
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These guys stole the show for me! They were simply AMAZING! Everyone was screaming! All the girls were taking off their bikinis! All 450,000 people were jumping!! Angus was keeping the crowed going with his never-ending breakdowns. They played
AC/DC - Highway to Hell
AC/DC - Shook me all night long
AC/DC - The Jack
AC/DC - Thunderstruck
Rolling Stones
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
An ok set. I was destroyed by AC/DC and I really wanted to get the hell out of Parc Downsview Park. They played
Stones - Satisfaction
Stones - Jumping Jack Flash
Stones - Don't Stop
Stones - Ruby Tuesday
Oh, the one track that really got me going was "Sympathy for the devil" written by Jagger performed in the movie "Interview with teh Vampire" by Guns'N'Roses!
Only one or two girls took their tops off for the Stones Not as many when compared to the number that did it for AC/DC!
Overall Impression
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I came primarily to see the Stones, but I was blown away by the Guess Who, Rush, and AC/DC. I will never forget this experience of 450,000 people jumping to AC/DC. 192 Industrial/Club size speakers blowing the crowed away! All the craziness! The vibe was amazing! At the end of the show they had a pretty fireworks going too!
