Coachella 2007

[€uroMeinke]

As Lisa said Gogol Bordello was the best way to close the day



We got off to an iffy start - Seeing the "Medic Tent" instead of the Gobi, Mojave, or Sahara, but NA was in good Company, the 105 temp had people dropping all over. So we took it easy.

Tilly and the Wall as a great surprise - who knew thier percussion included tap dancing?



Amy Weinhouse pulled a great performance, it's amazing to see such a voice come out of such a small body, I swear these is a 400 pound black woman hidden inside her somewhere



Of course, she had a drink in hand...

Rufus Wainwright appears to have stayed at the Beat Hotel - perhaps we can claim him as one of us?



Unfortunately the sound wasn't great, but his performance was fun. A lot more "queeny" in this venue as opposed to Hollywood Bowl where he played with his father...

I did catch Scarlet Johansen's bit with the Jesus and the Mary Chain, and even snapped this from the Jumbotron:



We caught a song and a half from the Brazilian Girls. Sabina had on this Hoola-hoop-reflector outfit that served as a portable spot light - I love this band - Between Interpol and Faithless, having also caught a few songs from each, this appeared to be the best show:



And although Gogol Bordello took the show, we did catch the beginning half of Bjorks set - but she was hard to see - my best effort:



This year the art has been spectacular - especially at night, which means very hard to photograph, but what's Coachella without giant arachnid robots?



And this year not only is there an extra day, there's an extra Tesla Coil!



That's all for Friday
