One of the most anticipated acts on Saturday was the recently reunited Siouxsie and the Banshees. Singer Siouxsie Sioux began the set sporting a dark gray suit and eventually removed her jacket, shirt, and tie to parade around in a rhinestone-covered black bra. The band skipped many of its most popular songs spanning the late '70s through the early '90s. However, after Sioux asked, "Having fun in the dust?," they did launch into 1986's "Cities in Dust." While the melancholy churn drove on, Sioux's voice wandered way off key too many times. Die-hards may have loved it all, but many must have been left wondering what the legend's all about.
