It seemed to advance a difficult task for the ex-frontman of N * E * R * D to replace the beloved American rockers in Landgraaf. Singer Dave Grohl fell Friday from the stage during a performance by Foo Fighters in Gothenburg. The show at Pinkpop was then canceled.
A much greater contrast than that between the tough guitar music of Foo Fighters and hitparadepop of Pharrell Williams could be found this year hardly at Pinkpop, so had in that respect it by sliding rock band Placebo will headline might be located more obvious. A gamble, but one that works out.
Not that Pharrell Williams for the audience immediately knows how to win. According to his greeting that he thinks he is in Amsterdam to act. The first few songs did not really hit yet, until he falls back on the numbers of N * E * R * D, which he was already at Pinkpop

Recognition
She Wants To Move and Lapdance immediately provide a feast of recognition, which the lack of Foo Fighters what is softened. Williams has more trumps, because almost all the hits he wrote in the last fifteen years, produced or performed, are over.
As with his performance at North Sea Jazz Festival in 2014, he will shred a lot of those hits a bit off. Sometimes more than one coupletje and hear a chorus of a hit he scored with Snoop Dogg, Mystikal or Nelly, just to highlight a few, and often still all comes from a tape.
miming
That the voices of the famous guest vocalists are not live, is to forgive him, but a background singer Hollaback Girl Gwen Stefani show miming is very weak . And that second voice in most of the songs is just a band.
Whether the audience actually experiences as a weakness, is doubtful. Williams let people dance along on stage, is generous with compliments, has an amusing show, and keeps his biggest hits ( Blurred Lines , Get Lucky and Happy ) to the final. Everyone can go home happy, except disappointed Foo Fighters fans
