The Best Back-To-Back Performance At Coachella?

[wstsidela]

IMHO it's either Pixies> Radiohead or Massive Attack>Tool.

What's your choice?

BTW Does Leonard Cohen > Paul McCarthy count?

[digitaldragon03]

Portishead/Prince

P²

[dontfeedthebird]

kraftwerk/portishead

[tikiavenger]

Chromeo/Justice

[MassiveChemicalPunk]

kraftwerk/portishead

yesssssssss!

[PrettyRagdoll]

Kraftwerk -> Portishead -> Prince.

Mainstage now equals, Prince's house

[lowfront]

Modeselektor -> Simian Mobile disco -> Dark side of the Moon -> Justice

[wstsidela]

I missed Kraftwerk :(

[darkjustice]

Kraftwerk -> Portishead -> Prince.

Mainstage now equals, Prince's house

this

[seyrnon]

BTW Does Leonard Cohen > Paul McCarthy count?

no it does not because there was a little act named Morrissey in between.

and since last year was my first year I'd probably go for YYY's> MBV

[locachica73]

Kraftwerk -> Portishead -> Prince.

Mainstage now equals, Prince's house

I agree wholeheartedly.

[sleepybrew]

back to back to back:
Kraftwerk-Portishead-Prince

back to back i wish i could've seen:
Massive Attack-Tool

[Harrisment]

Kraftwerk-Portishead-Prince has to be the best that I've seen.

[Mak Attack]

Another vote for Kraftwerk -> Portishead

[beavington]

i will Portishead --> Prince was hands down the best in Coachella history and perhaps in festival history.

[fancy restaurant]

Portishead/Prince


/thread

[zonarob]

Pixes- Radiohead As much as I thought that Prince absolutely killed it, I just don't get Portishead

[pancakespancakes]

Vivian Girls --> No Age --> Fucked Up last year.

Portishead? More like Snoretishead!

[weezy f baby]

massive attack -> TOOL

[SEEDYMIG420]

Pixies ----->Radiohead

[Abe Lincoln]

Pavement-----> Gorillaz.
I'm from the future.

[rasooli]

Manu Chao then Rage against the Machine.

[crazzz2007]

Vivian Girls --> No Age --> Fucked Up last year.

Portishead? More like Snoretishead!

you have no soul.

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

any answer other then:

Kraftwerk/Portishead/Prince

or

Pixies/Radiohead

is wrong

/thread

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

Portishead? More like Snoretishead!

did you go in 08?

if you did, did you even watch Portishead?

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

IMHO it's either Pixies> Radiohead or Massive Attack>Tool.

BTW Does Leonard Cohen > Paul McCarthy count?

for the record. anything that involved switching stages shouldn't count. Because then it wouldn't count as a "back to back" performance I feel.

[wstsidela]

I agree :(

[beavington]

Pavement-----> Gorillaz.

wait i thought you were from the past.

[Tandemind]

for the record. anything that involved switching stages shouldn't count. Because then it wouldn't count as a "back to back" performance I feel.

For the benefit of the thread, I think stage-switching should be allowed.

[beavington]

that isnt considered back to back then.

back to back typically implies on the same stage

[Tandemind]

I would argue that back to back performances on two different stages is often closer to being truly back to back than having back to back performances on one stage, because of the downtime between acts at the same stage.

For example in 2008:

Cafe Tacvba (5:15 - 6:05) to Hot Chip (6:10 - 7:00) is more back to back than Portishead (9:15 - 10:15) to Prince (10:45) with half an hour in between.

[pancakespancakes]

did you go in 08?

if you did, did you even watch Portishead?

I did, I saw KraftAnCoPortisPrince, I was kidding, it was great. But this thread is a little redundant...

[scoop49er]

Portishead and Prince

[mr powerful]

Portishead-Prince 2008

[Duvel]

Fleet Foxes - Band Of Horses, Outdoor Theatre.....2009

A....MAZING

[NoGwenPlease]

I know there's better but Ghostland/Girl Talk/Presets kind of blew my socks off.

I don't even know if that's the right order because my mind was blown so hard...

[arman]

plastikman->thom yorke->orbital->gorillaz

...i wish

[AlexBlewHimB4U]

kings of leon>arcade fire>rhcp

[wstsidela]

Fleet Foxes - Band Of Horses, Outdoor Theatre.....2009

A....MAZING

That's my third choice.

[brando4n82]

I missed Kraftwerk :(

which year :laughyou

[brando4n82]

LCD Soundsystem into The Rapture was pretty fucking awesome..

[brando4n82]

Audiobullys into Daft Punk!



















Just Kidding

[SunDevil]

Not going to claim it was the best ever, but My Morning Jacket into Roger Waters was pretty awesome.

Also liked Fleet Foxes into Band of Horses & YYY's into MBV

There is a lot of potential for sunday this year....Pavement into Thom Yorke...even LCD to Jay-Z could be cool.

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

Agreed with Fleet Foxes-Band of Horses

[mikeymikemikey]

LQHY5t2mo6M

[Aphexual]

Pixies -> Radiohead 2004

[Sexecutioner]

rage-> tool was pretty epic too.

[dirt lip]

My Bloody Valentine - Cure

[Fig Neutron]

Vampire Weekend - The National
Fleet Foxes - Band of Horses

I looked at the past schedules and noticed that I rarely stay at the same stage for two consecutive show.

[gooftroop]

My personal choice goes to Justice -> LCD Soundsytem in the Sahara in '07. Fucking incredible. Didn't really know much about Justice but the tent was totally insane, the we are your friends sing along was amazing and all in all just better than their '08 show. And LCD Soundsystem, wow, still one of the best shows I've ever seen. Got right front and center after Justice ended and the tent was absolutely wild. I'm excited to see them this year but no way it matches that show.

A very close to the aforementioned Kraftwerk -> Portishead but stupidly I was dragged away at the end of Kraftwerk to go see the MIA trainwreck so that kind of killed some momentum. And honestly I may get flamed for this but Prince was kind of a let down after Portishead. I had a good time but some of it was corny (the Sarah Mclachlan cover?!) and just couldn't measure up to the raw emotional power of Portishead. Dude is a killer showman though.

[darthlaker]

Pixies>>>Radiohead>>>Kraftwerk was real good!

Carl Cox>>>depeche mode>>>Daft Punk was real real good!

But Yeah boys noize>>> erol alkan>>>hot Chip>>>kraftwerk>>>portishead>>>Prince was so much fun

this year i'm expecting either a the speacils>>>echo and the bunnymen>>>jay z>>>lcd soundsystem>>>deadmau5

or Phoenix>>>Thom York>>>The Gorillaz>>>Club 75

[Raptor Clinton]

wait i thought you were from the past.

Abe Lincoln is a transcendental figure in many ways.

[rasooli]

Possibilities for this year:

Wolfgang --> Proxy or the other way around

De La Soul --> Spoon --> Atoms for Peace --> Pavement --> Gorillaz

[C DUB YA]

I think this should only be back to back on the same stage.



So - given that, I would say it's 2002's outdoor stage quad face punch!

Cornershop - Charlatans - Queens of the Stone Age - Beta Band

Bjork - Chemical Brothers in 02 was pretty rad as well.

[sin213]

my vote goes to either massive attack > tool OR portishead > prince

both were the place to be if you had any sense of musical tastes.

Dont forget about the Rapture.

[Vic Viper]

yeah yeah yeahs > massive attack > tool

godly.

[amyzzz]

any answer other then:

Kraftwerk/Portishead/Prince

Pixies/Radiohead

/thread
yes.

[michaelmontanez]

MODESELEKTOR > SMD
mind was blown out my ass.

[Hicks]

For me !!!>Broken Social Scene in 2004.

[Tandemind]

MODESELEKTOR > SMD
mind was blown out my ass.

That wasn't your mind.

[fiopadp7791]

Since I'm having trouble thinking of this, it means I jump from stage to stage way too much.

But I'd argue that James Zabiela->Boys Noize->Erol Alken->Hot Chip on Sat afternoon in the Sahara in 08 was unbelievable!

Should there be any kind of honorable mention for that Sat stretch on the main stage in 06 too? Commom->Kanye->Sigur Ros->Franz Ferdinand->Depeche Mode... and then a walk across the polo to Daft?

[TonyWonder]

easily Kraftwerk->Portishead->Prince


and if we're counting different stages, Arcade Fire->LCD Soundsystem was amazing.

[Katiedidwhat]

Manu Chau's performance was so upbeat and fun, added even more electricity to the air for RATM (If that is even possible...)

[cscbrown]

Steve Aoki -> Bloodybeetroots
Presets -> Girl Talk -> Ghostland Observatory (yea, I can't remember the order either)
Geez... Last year I didn't even leave the sahara tent Friday.

[arman]

portishead>prince was amazing!! but i think this years sunday should have something to rival that. either with thom>gorillaz or any combination of club 75>plastikman>orbital
...also klaxons>CSS was a big surprise for me a few years back

[lowfront]

MODESELEKTOR > SMD > DARK SIDE OF MOON > Justice


Best night of my life








































2010 = Serious business



Orbital > Gorillaz > Plastikman










:cat

[Edmontonian]

Crystal Castles > Ghostland Observatory > Girl Talk > The Presets > The Crystal Method Live

[metalfag]

Definitely gonna be Proxy>Wolfgang>Erol Alkan. it makes me excited in the pantal region just thinkin about it

[karma_guy]

i wasn't there but how about NIN-->Black Star?

[Stackamynutz]

There have been some pretty amazing b2b's (many mentioned already). I think my favorite would have to be the Kraft-Portis-Prince, but a close second is LCD-Rapture. The Aphex Twin-Dominos delivery in my hotel was a personal favorite, but there were only like 6 of us there for that one. There's a lot on here I wish I would've been there for (like NIN-Black Star and Bjork-Chemical Brothers).

This year I think Wolfgang-Proxy will take the cake for me and whatever I see for the last three hours of Sunday will be the close second.

[PrettyRagdoll]

Not going to claim it was the best ever, but My Morning Jacket into Roger Waters was pretty awesome.



While I'm still sticking by my KraftPortisPrince stance... I absolutely agree that My Morning Jacket into Roger Waters was awesome

[PrettyRagdoll]

A very close to the aforementioned Kraftwerk -> Portishead but stupidly I was dragged away at the end of Kraftwerk to go see the MIA trainwreck so that kind of killed some momentum. And honestly I may get flamed for this but Prince was kind of a let down after Portishead. I had a good time but some of it was corny (the Sarah Mclachlan cover?!) and just couldn't measure up to the raw emotional power of Portishead. Dude is a killer showman though.

Did you hear the Radiohead cover? And then the way he ended on Let's Go Crazy? [Just wondering, cause I'm not sure if you left the stage before that]

[el_ornelas]

Manu Chao then Rage against the Machine.

si!
yes!
ouí!

butt...it shoulda been The Roots>Willie Nelson>*>Manu Chao>Rage Against the Machine EXCEPT that bullshit Crowded House band was totally on the wrong stage between Willie and Manu. the 80s? between decade-spanning greats like the aforementioned????

manu to rage was GOLDEN SOLID...wish i woulda been to coachella for Prince...

[kneuller]

why hasnt anyone mentioned Atmosphere>She Wants Revenge yet?

[sammythebull]

Modeselektor -> Simian Mobile disco -> Dark side of the Moon -> Justice

I second that.
Roger Waters doing Dark side of the Moon after seeing Modeselektor was epic.

[Rosemont17]

kraftwerk-portishead-prince best 1-2-3.. it went so smooth and all 3 delivered!

[reactdrummer34]

Portishead>Prince

[bmack86]

The Kraftwerk-Portishead-Prince trio was pretty spectacular, but I had more fun with No Age-Fucked Up.

[tubescape]

PIXIES ----> RADIOHEAD '04

[sIRVenum]

Fischerspooner-Def Jux-Oasis

[sIRVenum]

...and MOGWAI!!!

[cityzun]

wait i thought you were from the past.

Abe didn't die. He moved to the future to save us from ourselves

[Necie]

Sticking with the same stage, For me it would have to be:

Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros --> The XX --> Hot Chip --> MGMT

I loved every single one of those performances..but all 4 being back to back was completely amazing!!

[alisonnn]

I did enoy this alot minus MGMT they were mehh

[Mr. Porter]

LCD Soundsystem ensued by Jay-Z was remarkable. However, Orbital followed by Plastikman outdoes that sequence. The xx into Hot Chip ain't too shabby either

[nbvcide]

generally i go with Kraftwerk->Portishead->Prince...
(i WOULD say Bloody Beetroots -> Crookers, but they fucked up the scheduling on that one)

..but lately i can't get Orbital->Plastikman out of my mind..

[Mucho Maas]

should've been 2006 massive attack>tool for me... but tool was quite a let down that night.

and this is the only other year i've gone... jeez, i guess for a single stage it was hot chip>mgmt>dead weather

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

no epic back to backs this year, due to weird scheduling and stage jumping.

[minogueCOMMAk]

Since this is the first year.
Orbital>Plastikman.

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

the mojave all of friday

[missleslie]

this year it was Little Dragon followed by Fever Ray
can't believe I'm the first one to post this!

[Boourns]

this year it was Little Dragon followed by Fever Ray
can't believe I'm the first one to post this!

This. Little Dragon, piss break, then arrive early for a good spot for Fever Ray. Great Friday night. AfP->Gorillaz was too much of a stampede.

[Shtitus!]

mgmt phoenix thom yorke

[Mucho Maas]

mgmt phoenix thom yorke

I think you got your days wrong....MGMT were saturday

[citizenerased]

Hot Chip to Muse :]

[OK Calculator]

mgmt phoenix thom yorke

qft

[WhyTheLongFace]

I dont think I ever stayed at one stage for 2 straight acts except Gil Scott Heron--> LA Roux but I took a 20 min break to Grizzly Bear so it dont count.

[alisonnn]

jonsi-phoenix-thom yorke
edward sharpe-the xx-hot chip
she & him-passion pit

but if you include stage changing local natives->owen pallett->deerhunter->yo la tengo->jonsi->spoon->phoenix->pavement->thom yorke plew my damn mind

[WhyTheLongFace]

If stage changing counts then all of Sunday

De La Soul-->Jonsi-->Miike Snow-->Orbital

[Menace2Society]

orbital. plastikman.

[frozen pilgrim]

this year, the specials/TCV was an awesome back-to-back

[zimmy1222]

Jeez, its fucking 'back to back' not 'back to back' to the 4th power...

LCD -> Fever Ray was pretty great...

But Portishead -> Prince was amazing.

[OK Calculator]

If stage changing counts then all of Sunday

De La Soul-->Jonsi-->Miike Snow-->Orbital

back to back. as in on the same stage.

[psycobetabuckdown]

Massive Attack into Tool was better than Portishead into Prince (and Kraftwerk into Portishead)

[digitaldragon03]

No it wasnt.

[psycobetabuckdown]

Yes it was. By far.

[zenidogx]

This year: Les Claypool --> Devo
From all my experiences: Grizzly Bear --> Rodrigo y Gabriela --> Konono No1

[Nick o]

only been to this year's coachella and i'm going to say benny benassi into deadmau5

[LeK5Y]

It was my first year in attendance...

Phoenix > Thom Yorke
