Amy Winehouse drew a huge crowd to her Sunday afternoon set on one of the two main stages at Lollapalooza, but the songstress appeared preoccupied and tired during her set.

Kicking things off 15 minutes late (a rare occurrence at the ever-punctual festival), Winehouse took the stage with a full backing band including a horn section and male back-up dancers.
