If this reunion is the barometer for all the other bands reuniting this weekend we should be in store for a great weekend in the desert. Bad audio again for this show. Lots of feedback. What's the deal.
I will try to keep blogging but it's getting harder and harder to get a message out. Gander On!
Wow! Stephen Marley put on a show I will never forget. The sun was setting and after starting late the crowd was slowly letting the heat get to them. As soon as Marley hit the stage that was over. After singing the title track from his album Mind Control, Stephen launched into Buffalo Soldier with his brother Damien. They sang To Be Loved before Damien god the crowd jumping with Welcome to Jamrock from his 2005 album by th same name. To close the show it was Exodus and there wasn't a foot planted on the ground, everyone was jumping in unison and singing along. Thank you Marley brothers you were exactly what coachella needed today.
I got some great video and will hopefully post it tonight but there is no wifi at the house so it might have to wait. Gander On!
Stephen has the same guy Damien did. All he does is wave the Jamaican flag the entire set. It's awsome! Gander On!
Something wrong, they were supposed to go on twenty minutes ago. Coachella is a stickler for time so we will have to see what happens. Gander On!
Draws one of the biggest crowds of the day and packs the gobi tent. The girl in front of me passed out and we had to get her outside which was near impossible. Amy sounds great but I have to leave and get to Stephen amd Damien Marley. Gander On!
Every act has come out ready to rock and have done so. No real let downs and a few surprises. If Brother Ali and Satellite Party's albums are half as good as they were live they are worth picking up. I don't remember any bands having sound problems last year and this year it seems like everyone has some kinks to work out, it's only day one though.
It's funny to see how much music temperature changes in just a year or maybe it's just my tatse in music. Last year was a lot of rock and reggae this year the hip hop is loaded and there is a lot more fem rock as I like to call it. The main thing is that it's all great music and the performers are not letting anyone down.
While I typed this I heard Gilian Welch play some great folk music.
Goose Gander On!
They seem to be putting on a good show as usual. On my way to see Amy Winehouse! Gander On!
