wooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!

Never seen anything like it.

therealsp · 04-27-2008, 11:46 PM

Honestly, I walked by, stopped, and all I felt was... Meh.

ecapataz · 04-27-2008, 11:47 PM

I was put to sleep by that druggie mumbling on stage
so we went over to Mojave to see Murs which was much better entertainment.

Portishead gets credit for best Coachella performance ever.

lostsoul86 · 04-27-2008, 11:47 PM

MURS was unbelievably good. The Legends came out and I almost cried.

Waters was simply on another level. Absolutely amazing.

Yes, except not.

AC515 · 04-27-2008, 11:58 PM

There were so many amazing facets. The sound was BY FAR the best at Coachella all weekend. It was just a complete mind fuck! the sound was swirling all around Never seen a better show, ever. That's how it's done, not much more I can say. I didn't even know half the songs. Prince and Portishead were good, but NOT this good.

Backwater · 04-27-2008, 11:59 PM

Everybody loses. Both performances sucked, especially for that $322.00 ticket. Coachella loses. Bonnaroo didn't just de-throne them this year, they beat the living shit out of them.

Are you ok? The combination of Prince, Portishead and Waters is the best Coachella I have seen.

most likely someone who wasn't actually at Coachella this year.

I thought it was a strong year. And anybody who saw M.I.A. would've thought the Beatles had just started playing the Sahara. Insane.

JustSteve · 04-28-2008, 12:38 AM

my motto for coachella '08? Coachella: You had to be there...

JustSteve · 04-28-2008, 12:46 AM

i wanna know what the hell that plane was dropping over the crowd...at first i had visions of the movie "black sunday".

and i also wonder where the pig is going to end up...imagine waking up with that draped over you roof.

that was crazy. I'm guessing based on the rumors Roger Waters called the plane in.

To the haters,
the takers,
the lairs,
whining Coachella posters....
STFU

alpharuin · 04-28-2008, 01:03 AM

Maybe not THE greatest show in Coachella history, but it's certainly up there. Haters are hating for the sake of hating, it truly was an exceptional performance.

AC515 · 04-28-2008, 01:08 AM

Anyone who says that they walked by a buzzing plane and swirling surround sound and was "bored" probably wasn't there.....seems elcapatez and realsp might be making shit up just to stir the pot.

therealsp · 04-28-2008, 01:11 AM

I was there. I just find Floyd a bit... Boring? I don't know. Whatever. I'm not sad that I didn't stay.

Weeping Willow · 04-28-2008, 01:19 AM

best sound i've ever heard. those towers of speakers out on the lawn made me feel as if i had giant headphones on even though i was like a mile away from the stage. kind of jaw-dropping

QFT.

so, was the plane an RC plane or was it a real one? it had to be remote control, right? damn, what a fucking great show. and that violin chick was amazing!

Vera/Bring the Boys Back Home brought a tear to my eye.

boyalien0 · 04-28-2008, 01:59 AM

I cried. I almost passed out. I freaked out. Hands down, not only the best coachella performance ever, but the best show of my life. I feel like I've been completely obliterated. Thank you very much. Haters suck it.

betao · 04-28-2008, 02:01 AM

i've never really listened to Pink Floyd in my life...

but I watched some of his set, before he did DSOTM

and it was absolutely stunning. The song he played about being in Beirut with the poor family that took him in brought tears to my eyes. And the pig being released was one of the most surreal moments of the weekend.

The amount of his set I saw was fantastic.

It was "Vote Obama" confetti. A lot of it ended up on lawns and streets blocks away from the venue. It also ended up landing near the outdoor stage apparently. So basically the plane totally missed the target.

The rest will be uploaded soon. Just thought I'd get the ball rolling on this.

emtgreg · 04-28-2008, 02:16 AM

I have some GREAT pics of the plane...and the pig...

best sound I've ever heard at a concert, period.

fireworks, holy shit, i felt the heat a mile back...

yeah, where does the pig go?

does it fly back home to england like a pidgeon?

Wrong dudes... noone has yet to out-perform Daft Punk.

PS
My buddy got Rogers guitar pick. She was at the front gate when he threw it and she told the security guard to grab it for her. No Bull. Oh yeah, He was still awesome though.

C DUB YA · 04-28-2008, 05:38 AM

I think one has to go to every Coachella to make the best ever performance comment.
