April 18, 201115 yr Author comment_35015 I think my favorite shows were Ozomatli and Erykah Badu. Interpol was pretty good, too, but kind of cut and dry. KoL was low energy as well. Report

April 18, 201115 yr comment_35017 I can agree that musically speaking Kanye was by far NOT the best musician to perform, as far as musical ability live is concerned, and his music was probably not the most appealing for a typical festival goer, but for a man who has been labeled as an arrogant and egotistical "monster," he was nothing but a class act tonight, particularly the conclusion of his performance in which all of the backup singers and dancers bowed on stage with him. Even for a headliner, playing for nearly 2 hours is an incredible length of time for a music festival performance (I think the Cure played even after the power was shut off though a few years back). I give Kanye mad props for what he did at Coachella.*The Cure played for 2 hours and 50 minutes. LINK Report

April 18, 201115 yr comment_35019 As far as quality goes, in regards to Kanye, I don't like his live style. He tends to scream and yell rhymes. I saw Big Boi on Thursday and his delivery was so crisp and smooth. Also, B.o.B was very entertaining live. I still think his [Kanye's] performance was incredible though. Report
April 18, 201115 yr Author comment_35020 Raphael Saadiq could sing circles around Kanye. He'll never get big like him, though. Total shame. Report

He killed it live tonight.Yeah, it all comes down to preference and I've never really been a huge Kanye fan, so I'm a bit bias. But, tonight he was a real gentleman and had a fantastic performance.

April 18, 201115 yr comment_35024 Agreed, watching Coachella the last few days makes me really want to try and go to either Bonnaroo or Lollapalooza this summer. Report
April 18, 201115 yr comment_35025 Bonnaroo this year for sure. For the first time in years I didn't go last year and regretted it ever since. Needless to say, I won't be missing local festivals anymore. The line up this year is so so, but its more the experience than anything. Report
