The Official Coachella Line-Up

TVOTR would be a great add. I loved your review after the BC show. It perfectly summed up what I thought when I saw them the week before. I can only imagine how good they'd be playing around dusk on a warm evening out in the CA desert.

Woo-hoo! I got mine too– with camping area A. Looking forward to, umm…, not sleeping? I guess?

Just out of curiousity, what was the advantage of using WASTE to buy tickets other than the earlier sale date?

I've got camping reservations & a hotel booked. Not sure yet which way I'm gonna go, but I'm leaning toward camping. Would save a ton o' $$$$ and I think it would be a 'truer' festival experience. Then I could just pack up the camping gear & head over to Joshua Tree for a little festival recovery.

I always prefer camping. If it's raining, just ask for an SUV when you get to the rental desk. Then you can flip down the seats and sleep 2-3 folks in the back in cozy dryness. (NOTE: I am vehemently against SUV's in the city, or for any non-camping, non-SUV needed use. Please don't take this as an endorsement for those gas-guzzlers!)

I am staying in a Motel 6. Not much better than an SUV or tent, but at least I'll have a shower.

I am NOT a camper :)

I'm REALLY hoping that there's not going to be much chance of rain. I get enough of that right here.

RC - I missed the official Coachella pre-sale, so I used the w.a.s.t.e option to ensure that I could get tix (they also had a pre-sale that lasted longer). The lineup looked SO good that I thought it may sell quickly. I don't think there was any significant advantage (other than backstage passes to the band of your choice ;) )

The Evens are on the bill now. I've been curious about Ian's new band…

That's kinda funny. I had heard that Fugazi refused to play Lollapalooza because it broke Ian's $5 ticket rule.

Dude, nothing's better than an SUV. You can barrel through traffic, forcing yourself into turn lanes at the last second…a lot of power in them thar vehicles.

are you trying to make me angry, bags?

I'll get road rage at my desk just thinking about those pukes and thier huge cars.

This year's Music Midtown in Atlanta has the misfortune of happening the same weekend as Coachella…they are competing for the same bands. Not too hard to see who lost out:
Music Midtown bands

Journey, Puddle of Mudd, Fuel.
eeek :eek:

Dude, don't knock Journey.

I know I offered to get in a round of golf with a few of you on Friday before Coachella, but my plans have changed.

We've got a motorhome now instead of staying in Palm Desert. I'm only going to Saturday's show then driving the Motorhome to Fontana for the California 500 NASCAR Race. I know most of you are jealous as you should be.

Would that be Journey with or w/o Steve Perry? Hmmmm……

I will admit to thinking that this was a real rocker once upon a time:

Excellent choice RC - I busted that out last weekend. How was the other Twilight show?

Philly was great…better than the Baltimore show because Greg wasn't feeling well for the Baltimore show, but he was feeling fine after a b-12 shot apparently before going on stage in Philly. He was very talkative throughout the set, talking about Passion of the Christ (How'd you like that 45-minute ass-whippin'? Even Kunta
Kinte didn't get it that bad!), baseball (various stuff about the Phillies & Reds) and so on. It was great.

The setlist order was pretty similar to that of Baltimore's, but he threw in various lyrics, including a few lines from "Retarded" during a break in "Papillon" as a well as replacing a line from the chorus to "I'm a joker, I'm a smoker, I'm a midnight toker…" Additionally, they performed Strange Fruit and Somethin' Hot (!!!) during the encore, which was different from B'more's set. Greg also sang a few lines from Purple Rain before going into "Faded" at the end of the set.
