We got a good spot in front of one of the closest jumbotrons -- sound was excellent and the crowd was pumped. Give it up to Jon Bon Jovi for 'most unexpected source of magic' with his channeling of Sam Cooke in 'A Change is Gonna Come' with Bettye LaVette. Stevie and the Boss delivered.

Garth Brooks gets broadest appeal award for 'Shout' and 'American Pie' making sure every one of the million could sing along to something.
