One problem in not blogging immediately is that you have a tendency to forget the events of the day. Day 1 at at coachella reminded me why i loved it so much, regardless of the line up for the next three days. In true coachella style- we were late for Black Kids and i managed to catch 1.5 songs perhaps, but at least i caught their hit.
Then we probably spent the next few hours acclimatizing ourselves to the heat, crowd and structures. One item folks probably went crazy for, including me were the Adam Freeland F balloons.
One thing i suppose you can count on is that as the line-up progresses, they get better. This was the first time i've seen The National live but i definitely felt the energy building as i slowly crept between the crowds.
Swell Season definitely attracted a different crowd at coachella. I'm so happy for their success. Glenn takes you on a roller coaster of emotions through his voice. At this point, this was my best show so far. Especially since i got decently close and he sang my favorite Kraftwerk song as a tribute.
I was just going to check out Pendulum to see whether i should catch them on my trip to London. A was waiting behind the F balloon in the tent- thank godness for F balloons which made great landmarks in the Sahara tent and i was able to locate him easily. Pendulum was absolutely fantastically rockin'! The rest of the night for me was spent just wandering around. I suppose i should have joined the rest of the crowd in the Sahara tent when Fat Boy Slim was there, but I guess it just wasn't my thing.
