Is Pharrell sick or something? He sounds really off key, or the sounds is bad. I've never listened to Empire of the Sun before but their show is awesome.

Pharrell looks so disappointed. I can only imagine how bad that dust is messing up his throat.

Pharrell's got all the guest stars but his set is basically "hope you like paying money to listen to a backtrack". Woah is he pulling people from out of the audience to come on stage now? hahaha e: Ouch, that "if you feel" was especially rough

We were tired and weren't digging the dust kick up and now we missed everything  DAMMIT gently caress POO In my defense I live in an area of ice storms, tornadoes and life threatening hail. That wall of dust/wind was horrible. This is my forth year here and never experienced that. Yes I am a big baby w/e

Muse was tonight, they were pretty good. But gently caress future islands were so good live. Saw him backstage later and we gave each other a head nod. Night was made!

So looks like Jay Z and Diddy came out during Nas's set. Surprised Jay didn't come out for Pharrel's at all but I guess they wanted one last surprise.

Fat Boy Slim was excellent last night, and Empire of the Sun was fun live with all the theatrics.

What did you guys think of Haim's set? My Song 5 sounded hell of wonky to me but the rest I think they absolutely KILLED. And Danielle has got gams that won't quit  I thought it was pretty cool that Nas pretty much did a straight up Illmatic set. He kept losing his breath but other than that I thought he came out pretty hard for a dude of his age. The Jay-Z guest spot was so cool, too. I am not a huge fan of Lorde but I watched her set and it was oddly moving. I wept a little bit during "Team". Which is weird because it's like a bleacher-stomping stadium anthem but the way it was presented just destroyed me. Outkast was kind of disappointing, I hope that Andre gets a little more into things before they come through Denver in august (w/ Diplo and RUN THE JEWELS YEAAAAAH!) Oh and I am watching all this from home in Denver where it is snowing like a motherfucker

Best sets of weekend 1? Biggest disappointments? Was super stoked on Outkast for weekend 2, but sounds like they were a huge letdown?

tonic posted:Best sets of weekend 1? Biggest disappointments? Top 5 1. Neutral Milk Hotel - never thought I'd get to see them live, but they sounded perfect and the sun set during their entire performance. Since you aren't allowed to take photo or video of the. The sides screens just showed the setting sun behind the Ferris wheel the whole time. Surreal and incredible. 2. Future islands - so much energy and an amazing crowd. Do not miss. 3. CHVRCHES - dance party midday at the outdoor stage. They sounded spot on live and everyone was dancing 4. Outkast- if only for the first 30 minutes of their set which was perfect 5. Lorde - also great live, even the songs off her album that I didn't quite care for sounded much better in person.

Bonobo overall for me, holy poo poo that was spectacular. Not enough people knew about the Heineken tent but probably nothing wrong with that. I caught Gaslamp Killer... and he brought out Thundercat and Gza to a crowd of under 100. Muse was who I flew out to see, and Matt's voice wasn't perfect because of all the dust Saturday. I still had a blast. Biggest letdowns for me were Outkast (why so many tracks from The Love Below and seeing Killer Mike get cut broke my heart) and Banks (I am not into the Lorde/Lana Del Rey type sound) New surprises for me were Little Dragon, Jagwar Ma, and Hundred Waters. I've already seen Preservation Hall Jazz Band and Future Islands but seems like people were generally not familiar with them, and those two put on solid sets if you are looking for an act to pass time.

Don't miss Cage the Elephant, even if you don't like their music. The lead singer is a hell of a showman live and LOVES to be in the crowd. At the end of the set this weekend, he was literally standing up on top of the crowd with people holding up his feet with their hands. He then ate it into the crowd, body surfed all the way from the front stage to the back gap, and climbed the lighting rig. If you like guest stars, Pharrel and Nas were insane. Can't guarantee they'll all be back week 2 but still. OutKast were still good, even if a little disappointing. But it's early in their tour, they're still working out the kinks. On the dance side, Glitch Mob was great, Carnage was great -- I'm forgetting a bunch of DJs but really everyone I saw in the Sahara was solid. I even caught about 20 minutes of Skrillex before sprinting to Nas, and while that guy is typically trash, even he was putting up a good set. I'm never going to hate on "Let Me Clear My Throat" mixing into "Jump," I don't care who plays it. I'm forgetting a ton of good acts because I just got home and I'm exhausted. Lorde's voice is amazing, QOTSA were solid, the Pixies were loud and full of rage. Really this trip was a clusterfuck for me in a few ways (sorry I never made it by the goon camp), but in terms of really solid music from top to bottom, this was one of the best Coachellas I've been to. (edit) also don't judge anyone who was on late Saturday (Nas, Pharrel) for having breath or voice problems - that sandstorm was pretty fuckin fierce. Not quite as bad as third night last year, but merch was making a killing on selling bandanas because everyone wanted one to wrap around their nose and mouth so they could stop inhaling pounds of dust StarkRavingMad fucked around with this message at 00:47 on Apr 15, 2014 |

This was my first Coachella and it was everything I hoped it would be! My favorite sets: Day 1 Haim - only saw a couple songs but they seemed on fire and people were really into it Chromeo - super fun, high energy and great light show, I was pretty stoned by that point and I was enraptured Woodkid - never heard of this guy but I liked his samples on Spotify so I went, and holy crap I loved this. moody, apocalyptic post-rock, I guess you'd call it, with a fantastic light show and a full percussion and horn section. highly recommended Day 2 Capital Cities - only knew them from the "Safe and Sound" hit, only went b/c we wanted to get close for Lorde and wasn't expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised. very fun and danceable, everyone was on their feet, they played a couple of great covers and I liked the original stuff as well Lorde - was pretty close for this, like 12 rows back and I thought she was great. the amped-up closer of "Team" with everyone singing along and a crazy light show was probably the single best moment of the festival for me Sleigh Bells - always dependable, just listened from a distance but they sounded great Mogwai - again great for that "almost too stoned to walk" portion of the evening. unfortunately we left this early for Pharrell which was a mess. Day 3 the weakest day IMO, everyone's energy was lower and not as many great acts. I enjoyed Lana Del Rey but she didn't blow me away. Beck was great but got cut short. Best of the the day was probably Neutral Milk Hotel at sunset. No one I saw was really terrible (we left Pharrell before it apparently went to poo poo). Outkast was disappointing in some ways but they still sounded great. Overall an incredible weekend.

I didn't think Pharrell went to poo poo, he was just losing his voice by the end. He acknowledged it and said it was from the sandstorm, and asked the crowd to help him and sing for him. You don't really go to see him anyway, you go for his cavalcade of guest stars and whatnot. I thought it was still a fun performance!

I thought it was still a fun performance! Yeah to be fair we left after a couple songs b/c we felt the performance wasn't very interesting and we could barely see anything through the crowd. Just regretted leaving an excellent Mogwai set for that. I said "apparently went to poo poo" cause all the reviews I heard after were negative. And yeah the dust storm had to suck for performers, but Lorde, Sleigh Bells, Muse, etc didn't seem to have any problem dealing with it...

Just saw the Weekend 2 lineup. The Do Lab looks pretty different, but otherwise, strongly suggest spending time at the Heineken Tent.

In the previous 3 years I've been to Coachella I've been to the Heineken dome (now called a house I guess) I havent enjoyed it, so I didnt even bother checking out the lineup this year. From what I've read here and on the Coachella forums it sounds like it was indeed pretty amazing this year. but... I'm going 2015 so I'll give it another shot then!
