Guest C-Bacon Report post Posted July 17, 2003 JUL-17: Blue Rodeo and The Tea Party Blue Rodeo and The Tea Party are confirmed and will join the all-star line up. http://www.iam.ca/rollingstones/ Well the Tea Party being added sealed the deal for me. Hopefully there'll be more than one stage admist the 600,000+ people in attendance. I'll be there to mainly see the Tea Party, Rush and AC/DC. Now, if only they added some more Canadian talent like Matthew Good , Hawksley Workman, and Holly McNarland it would be the perfect show Confirmed Line-Up thus far: Rolling Stones, AC/DC, Rush, The Guess Who, Justin Timberlake, Blue Rodeo, The Tea Party, Sam Roberts, The Flaming Lips, Kathleen Edwards, The Isley Brothers, Sass Jordan, La Chicane and Jim Belushi-Dan Aykroyd and Have Love Will Travel Revue and More -host Dan Aykroyd.

Guest iamsherm Report post Posted July 31, 2003 I thought I'd bump this thread with this article from MTV.com: Justin Timberlake Joins Stones At Toronto Benefit, Gets Pelted With Garbage 07.31.2003 10:29 AM EDT TORONTO — In perhaps his most memorable cameo since donning a furry dolphin suit at a Flaming Lips performance, Justin Timberlake joined Mick Jagger and the rest of the Rolling Stones onstage during the veteran rock band's set at the concert for Toronto on Wednesday night. The afternoon kicked off on a low point for Timberlake when a concertgoer's sign questioning the singer's sexuality made it to the jumbotrons for about 15 seconds. Timberlake took to the stage with an obvious awareness of audience cynicism, beginning his set with a small attempt to mitigate the crowd's frustration: "This will be over before you know it." During his mini-set of "Cry Me a River," "Senorita" and "Rock Your Body," Justin gracefully dodged water bottles flung by anti-pop audience members, and winced slightly at their less than playful jeers. After quietly thanking the city of Toronto for generally being welcoming to him and his tour crew, Timberlake left the stage to make way for more crowd-pleasing acts including the Guess Who, Rush, AC/DC and headliners the Rolling Stones. Justin got his sweet revenge, though, when Jagger invited him onstage for what appeared to be an unrehearsed performance of "Miss You," in which Timberlake mimicked Jagger's signature sways and echoed his vocals. In a clearly forced but effective fusion of classic rock and bubblegum pop, Jagger even sang the words "cry me a river" for several repetitions with Timberlake. And though the audience still managed to sling a few bottles Timberlake's way, guitarist Keith Richards exhibited remarkable tenacity, as he angrily motioned to the crowd to show the pop star a little respect. Timberlake hugged Jagger and thanked each Rolling Stone by his first name, then humbly (or perhaps strategically) made a quick exit.

Guest redbaron51 Report post Posted July 31, 2003 classy.... its like putting Jewel at Woodstock... and it happened. Dude this is when a pop-star joins a hard-rock festival. Timberlake has no place in being at a Rolling Stones, AC/DC, Rush, and Guess Who.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest iamsherm Report post Posted July 31, 2003 But is that a good excuse? Is throwing crap on stage at a performer (at a benefit show, no less) justified? Call me crazy, but I find that just a bit ignorant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest redbaron51 Report post Posted August 1, 2003 hell no. Justin wanted to go on this, and he fuckin deserved it for showing his TRL ass up on the stage. Benfit, yes, but i think 450,000 people rather see another act instead of Justin Timberlake. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
