She has songs that aren't 1234?

I'm looking forward to her set next weekend. I've never seen her live, but Metals is so fucking good.

Her backup singers can do some serious harmonizing, really strange girls too they're fun to watch, and the full band/orchestra was amazing! Best sounding act of the weekend in my case.

does anyone know if "The Bad In Each Other" was played early in the set or late? I've pretty much decided that I'm going to bounce out of Kasabian 15 minutes early to catch 20 of Feist and I'd LOVE to hear that song with the full orchestra.

She did not play 1234, which I thought was odd, but did not detract from her set at all, she absolutely killed it and the orchestra was fantastic. Citizenerased, don't quote me on this, my memories of the weekend are still convalescing, but I THINK she did that song later in the set. Like 75% sure.

She played it in the last half of her set. I think it was the 2nd or 3rd to last song that she played and it nearly made me cry. Feist was incredible. Do anything you can to make sure that you don't miss her whole set.

I know man, worst conflict of the fest for me... but at least you have given me hope of seeing at least that song. I'll revel in the 20 minutes I get.

I was actually disappointed with this set. It wasn't bad just not what I expected somehow.

Surprised more people weren't into this. One of the best sets of the weekend.

Love Feist, skipped the set on the basis that I figured she'd come out, play her songs, they would sound good, and it would be over. Kinda like PJ Harvey last year, I had a pretty good idea what her live show would be like.

She doesn't really play 1234 anymore. Looking forward to seeing her this weekend still.

One of my biggest and best surprises of the weekend, I had no idea Feist could bring it this hard. She seriously rocked. With a 20+ person ensemble on stage, full horn section, quirky and cool backup singers, etc plus her knockout talent for performing, I was totally enthralled and so glad I had checked it out. I really enjoyed every song I heard and was often quite moved by the beauty and power of it. Much more exciting than the Shins, I'd definitely recommend Feist over them.

The Shins luckily happened to play So Says I just as I was walking from St. Vincent to Feist, and that was the only song of theirs I really wanted to hear anyway, so skipping them for Feist was probably the best decision I made all weekend haha.

I was sad to skip Feist. The conflict against Kasabian hurt... Luckily Kasabian did not make me regret it though.

Feist was really awesome!

I LOVED her set. She went all out and just brought it the way all should. For music that's pretty mellow (and darker recently), she knew how to fill the set with energy. She also knows how to have fun with it but not in
A cutesy, gimmicky, desperate, She & Him way. I wanted to leave Coachella for another Feist show Once it had ended. The sound was just full and wonderful.

Ughhhhh I wish I had gone to this instead of going to get hit in the face four songs into Kasabian's set. That really added insult to literal injury. It looks like she didn't do the webcast, either. :(:(

Feist is just starting up another big tour around the US. Kasabian won't be in the states again anytime soon. I think you did the right thing, getting hit in the face and all is part of the experience.

I saw Kasabian back in March when they came through town, so I did not feel as bad missing most of their set as I would have had I not seen them a few weeks ago (still sucked, though). Thanks for the tip, though, I will add Feist to my pollstar alerts.

Edited to add: had I not gotten hit in the face, I would not have ended up wandering around and being seduced by Bon Iver's dulcet tones, so it all worked out in the end.

Edited to add again - thanks - just got a solo ticket for an upcoming Feist show. Excited!!

I got my Coachella wish. I left Kasabian and got to Feist just as she was starting The Bad In Each Other to finish her set.

I only caught a little bit and was blown away. She is so amazing. Left early for David Guetta. Worst decision of the weekend.

AGREEEEEE!!! This was probably one of the best sets of Coa 2012. Seriously. I went right out and bought the Metals LP on Sunday at ZIA.

It was an epic lesson in rock and roll and women. Feist ruled the polo field. I didn't know much about her. I'd heard a couple songs and thought it'd just be a nice singer/songwriter set with a little rock band. Instead, I got something completely mind-blowing, and very educational.

Boys, listen closely to that woman. She told us a lot of their secrets. :)

We were walking out of the bathrooms stage right to snag a spot for Tuneyards when we heard some violins behind the fence getting down. Had a little impromptu dance session and then when they stopped we chatted them up and found they were in Feist. Very nice ladies, little more dancing and then on the Tuneyards. Amazed at Feist later that night and it was funt o see the bathroom girls tear it up. She was even better than I thought she would be. Cheers to the ladies of Coachella! Feist, Mazzy Star, St. Vincent, Lissie and Florence were all on point and up there with my favorites all weekend.

The Feist/Shins/St. Vincent conflict triangle broke my heart. Ultimately I went to St. Vincent and Feist and missed all of The Shins, but St. Vincent was awesome and Feist was beyond perfect, so it was worth it. I still really need to see The Shins though. :(

This is where you delete this account and start fresh with a new one.

If it makes you feel any better, I left St. Vincent early to catch 20 minutes of the Shins before Feist, and totally regretted it. Luckily St. Vincent played in my area a week later, so all was redeemed.

The Shins were really really good weekend one. If that's the weekend you went then I don't know why you regret that.

That is the weekend I went, I had just seen them before, and am not that familiar with the new album, thus didn't recognize most of the songs I heard. They sounded good, I just though St. Vincent was better. Plus, I realized it is better to just stick with two bands and see full sets. Rather than leave a band I really enjoy to catch 20 minutes of another set from super far back.
