High five!
Oh well I saw other people have already uploaded the full sets of the acts I mostly wanted to see (Metric and OMAM).
Also, watching Hot Chip from yesterday and fuck they're good. I'm not even a big fan but damn.
Lucky bastard, the only chance I have of seeing them live is at Rock Werchter.
I would be sitting through three days of generic indie rock just for Major Lazer, James Blake and Boys Noize.
You can just buy a ticket for the friday only. Though you would miss out on James Blake then.
Rammstein! I wouldn't mind that line-up.
That free gig even includes Hudson Mohawke. But I'm not too hopeful about getting those tickets. It's some sponsored thing, and I'm sure they'll reject me because I don't fit the happy hipster profile the brand covets :-D
If you can go to Werchter, you can go to Rock en Seine http://www.rockenseine.com/en/artists/line-up/ There's also a decent chance they'll play Pukkelpop. Dont say Paris is far from the netherlands, cause it's not.
Dont know what you're talking about anyway, Werchter has an amazing lineup this year
I'm going to Rock en Seine, Werchter, Lowlands and Best Kept Secret this year. Especially Rock en Seine is very doable for Dutchies, great city and not too far away. Had the best of times last year. Hopefully the line-up will be as good as that this year.
NIN is playing, I'm happy (will only go on Saturday if I get tickets) But yeah, amazing festival considering the price.
Yeah, early bird tickets were only 100 euros. Last year with Placebo and Greenday they had headliners who were also quite special because they didn't did a big European tour during the festival summer. Not that I'm really fond of Greenday though, but the organisation deserves credits for that.
Oh i'm sure that if I went, I would have one hell of a time at Werchter. Probably also a lot of bands there that I don't know that would blow my socks off.
But I just don't care about most of the big titles, the rock or indie acts. I'm there to go fucking crazy to hot electronic beats, and when i'm paying upwards of 200EUR on a ticket, i'd like it to be as awesome as possible.
I used to exclusively go to metal festivals like Graspop and Wacken Open Air, i'm just a little burnt out on the let's say "softer" rock music at festivals, even though I actually do appreciate listening to that stuff when i'm at home.
Rock en Seine looks awesome though, will see if I can get some people to drag along with me.
Same question. How can I watch shows from Friday?

Can someone post the Knife Party stream from last night?

Thanks! The only two bands I love and extensively follow are Crystal Castles and Depeche Mode, and I've gotten a bit more into Deftones and NIN. Will give these a go. Want to branch out.

Youtube is rebroadcasting it right now. Channel 3. http://www.youtube.com/coachella
You should be able to click back to the beginning of the set.
Link?
^go to the coachella stream on youtube, and pick the channel it was on. Then rewind the vid to that point.
My man, it will probably stay up since Coachella usually doesn't go crazy about reuploads of things they stream
Now we need that Major Lazer Set and Knife Party Set seperate video. And we good Gaf

Didn't happen, we got R. Kelly instead. Which actually wasn't half bad. Would Daft of been nice? Oh fuck yea, but they would have overshadowed the really great show Phoenix put on.
Vanillalite
Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Phoenix killed it on their own anyways. Quite possibly the world's current best pop rock band.

Phoenix was great, but goddamn at that Knife Party set. I was going to skip them because of that Ultra set, but now I'm not so sure

Wu-Tang is on today right? Any clue what time?
Let's do it. I feel like it'd totally be worth it. I'm so glad they created the Firefly festival.
9:20 PM according to Coachella's page. It's in PDT though.

I went for two years many years ago. I will never go again. It is boiling ass hot, next to no shade, wayyyyy too many people, and the sound from the various stages is rather annoying.
You can hear the noise from other stages while watching something at a certain stage? That's pretty bad.

not really. only when you're walking from stage to stage can you hear it enough for it to be a problem. The fact that there's as little bleedthrough as there is is a miracle considering every stage is outdoors.
So its not worth the hassle and price?

You must go to loud bands. As one who generally slightly quieter bands, the bass from the dj/dubstep/electronic acts can overpower over acts.
That is why I prefer indoor festivals like Moogfest in Asheville NC: smaller crowds, no noise bleeding into other performances, etc
For me, not at all. It ends up being really expensive and most of the bands I would want to see could be seen at clubs/small concert halls with alot less stress and cost.
Okay, that's good then. I don't really mind hearing some sound from various stages when I'm just walking in the open. That comment worried me a little
As someone from Europe I'd just like to go to Coachella alone for the fact that it's in the US and it would be perfect to combine with a holiday there. But for near future there's no way I can save the money to make that trip. Also must say that I like the Bonnaroo line-up more this year. After Primavera (Barcelona) possibly the best festival line-up I've seen so far this year. That goes for my taste obviously, not to start a discussion about that
It's totally worth it.

This is going to be my fourth year, and I've seen loud and quiet bands. Sound bleed has never been an issue unless you're on the right side outside the tent closest to SaharaYou must go to loud bands.

JESSIE WARE on in a bit over an hour.
I thought she wasn't on until 4:30 Pacific Daylight Time? That's not for 3 hours yet.
I was at Lowlands in The Netherlands last year and we some how had crazy hot summer weather and I must say it's a chore to check bands the whole day in heath like that. I figure every Coachella edition is like that since it's always good weather around these parts. I'm glad we had the security at the ready with buckets of water and sponges for everyone to keep it cool.
Foo Fighters and Wilco would have played two hours at last year's Lowlands but they eventually decided to cut that half an hour short because of the heath.

Coachella definitely isn't worth it imo. It's pretty miserable. Just watch the stream in civilization and save the money for when some of these bands roll through your city.
Watching the Of Monsters and Men set right now. Pretty damn good. Just found out they are playing Fox Theater in Oakland soon, but it's already sold out =/
