By all accounts, The Hold Steady made one of the biggest splashes at this years weekend festival. Them plus LCD, Daft Punk and some band named Pearl Jam delivered the musical goods like no one else. Enjoy the video evidence from the weekend that was Lollapalloza 2007. Hopefully, Glennie will get a nice roundup of the weekend up for ya’ll at G.F.O.M. Keep your eyes over there for some pics and whatnot.

[update: Sincerest apologies to the Bonesteel sisters, who supplied much of the video evidence below.  They operate a great You Tube channel: The Year of Music.  Check it out, since I like many of the bands, I know you'll like them too.  The two do a great job getting to concerts and grabbing some great footage.  Video journalism at it's best.]
