I've lived in Southern California for 5 years and finally decided to put my foot down and go to Coachella in Indio. All I can say is that it was one of the single greatest experiences of my life. The music was amazing, the weather was good (I really never could complain about the heat even though we were in the middle of the desert), and I got to share the experience with some of the best people.
While I originally wanted to go to see some of the headliners, I found myself being overwhelmingly being drawn to the electronic tent. Don't get me wrong, Prince was amazing, but the Sahara tent was just rocking so hard all day and night I kept wanting to go back. That being said, Kraftwerk put on a show that both showcased their trailblazing music and used visuals that just blew my mind. And when the festival got dark, it was a whole different world. The psychedelic art could have kept me entertained for hours in itself, but combined with the music at night, it really did create for a scene that can't be explained.
So next year, come one come all, because the blurb I write here (and the second hand video footage below) can not do the festival justice.
