And Smashing Pumpkins was great - you had to be open minded about who they were up there. I actually thought they were the best up there. Groban ruined Disarm, but the other songs were incredible performances. Just different than what people were expecting, but still incredible if you listen to the musicality of them. Two songs were debuts (first one and last one before Disarm), the others were from the Fillmore residency.
Wilco would have been better if the sound wasn't screwed up ... not enough drums, no mids, guitars too low. I Shall be Released was great though.
Death Cab was awesome, but I'm not sure I dig Ben Gibbard's caveman look ;)
