[algunz]

OMG, that's just too damn time consuming.

[DeltaSigChi4]

If Arcade Fire is not #1 on your list the years they played, then you are wrong. Most likely souless too. Like Hitler.

[PassiveTheory]

Dude, how was Stephen Marley that bad? He played like 5 Bob Marley songs live, and that's really all you can ask of him...

[orbit]

He wasn't that bad, but I liked the other acts more.

[PassiveTheory]

Alright, that's understandable.

I tried making that distinction with my post...

[Boourns]

I arrived at the outdoor theater when Stephen Marley was scheduled to be finished, but he kept going...for at least 20 minutes! Despite being freaked out/pissed over the possibility of getting a shorter Jarvis set, I enjoyed it. Did he just start late or did he just play a really long set?

[PassiveTheory]

He played a really long set.

[orbit]

Actually, I should have ranked him over Peaches or Hot Chip. I liked his set more than the Lolla and ACL ones.

Did you watch partial sets?

[mvanwinkle]

Silversun Pickups-saw like there last 4 songs to get a decent spot for monkeys. but have seen them live two other times and their just as terrible every time.
Peaches saw first half set but didnt see second set due to no longer being able to hold it.
LCD Soundsystem Blonde Redhead and Red Hot Chilli Peppers i pretty mcuh jumped around with those three. but everyone else was full sets.

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

How did you manage the Bjork/Gogol conflict?

[mvanwinkle]

damn i forgot about that one. this should have been a thread when it happened. actually im sure there were at least 10 others. but any way ya i saw like three of bjork songs and ran over to gogol. biggest mistake i should have went right to gogol from the start. kudos to bjork though

So did you sleep half the day during all the good acts or what? Three in 2004? What?

[drugks Gillespie]

Am I the only one who was impressed with digitalism? I dont think you can legally rip it harder at 6pm than those guys did.

[sonofhal]

If i put Arcade Fire last for 05 and 07 will Delta explode?

[roberto73]

If i put Arcade Fire last for 05 and 07 will Delta explode?
