Sunday, 10:00 p.m. - Jay-Z in the house.

The rapper is rocking the mainstage right now blowing every previous act out of the water - these guys got some skills when it comes to getting the crowd amped up.

Interesting sidebar to Jay-Z on stage: The Rolling Stone reporter got the only interview with the rapper, shooting a 15-minute chat, only to find out afterwards that he had the input of the camera on "line" instead of "mic". What that means is he scored the only

interview and has 15 minutes of Jay-Z - with no audio.

The perils of convergence, as it were. He probably should have talked to his video guys beforehand.

The crowd is hyped, the sun has set and the lights are hot.

Coldplay is in the house...
