In reply, something I just posted on O&S:

The best acts were inspirational, and the audience seemed to appreciate the 
old songs that gave them something to hold on to.  There are a couple of 
comments on the VH1 board to the effect that McCartney shouldn't have 
debuted new material there--apparently people couldn't connect with it.  The 
Who were right (as usual) to stick with songs that had accumulated layers of 
meaning over the years.
