============================
Not worth $12.50. You were right Seeker.
I was pretty bored. When one of the more memorable performances comes from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, you know it's bad.
It should have just been regular music DVD.
Were they trying to share some sort of message? Everyone gathering for one reason, music. Snooze.
Highlights:
Morrissey, Iggy Pop, Pixies (even though I'm not a fan), Noel's interviews (oasis)
Lowlights:
Everything else.
Worst moments:
A tie between The Polyphonic Spree and Bright 'like... umm... like' Eyes.
What should have made it:
Peter Murphy's upside-down 'bat-like' entrance of last year?
I don't know, I'm not a Coachella fan.
Right before they showed the Morrissey part, they showed a guy wearing that "England Rose" shirt. White with a red cross and small rose. He looks so familiar. Really nerdy, and he looked a lot like Morrissey. Had the quiff, the forehead, the brow. I know I've seen a picture or something.
Maybe he mentioned you Suzanne, because he talked I believe about a girl who drove down after missing the cancelled Las Vegas show.
The funny bit was they put a caption next to him that read "Not Morrissey".
Then it cut to Morrissey doing "November Spawned A Monster".
Nice performance, during the instrumental break Morrissey again crumples to the floor. At that point some editing of a shirtless Morrissey were shown, from probably other songs of the set.
I enjoyed it.
My favorite bit was Noel remarking about how clean Coachella was compared to festivals in England with it's manicured green lawn.
He said something along the lines of 'in England it's dirty, it rains a lot, there's mud. But it's more spiritual, it's about people becoming one with...... shit.'
