    Default Your Least Favorite stage at Coachella

    Lets hear it. for me, I am really not too fond of the Outdoor Stage. I dont know why, but nothing has really attracted me to that stage before. some decent acts, but thats it

    The Outdoor Theatre had many of the best acts last year. The problem was that the crew didn't know what the fuck they were doing and all the night performances started late.

    Last year my least fave was either the Sahara or the Gobi. I only saw LCD Soundsystem at the Sahara, and it was so crowded I couldn't see anything, even when inside. I only saw Comedians of Comedy in the Gobi last year, and sat outside for 15 minutes of Grizzly Bear, because I couldn't get inside. Both had the least must-sees last year.

    No wait, my least favorite would be the dome. Never saw any DJ set in there, and the sound bled to every other stage.

    When I'm headed to the parking lot Sunday night. I never comprehend how fast the time went.
    Whiskey Sour

    2 oz blended whiskey
    Juice of 1/2 lemon
    1/2 tsp powdered sugar
    1 cherry
    1/2 slice lemon

    Shake blended whiskey, juice of lemon, and powdered sugar with ice and strain into a whiskey sour glass. Decorate with the half-slice of lemon, top with the cherry, and serve.

    The acts I caught at the Outdoor were disappointing last year, and I never went over there in 06. Wait, actually Of Montreal was great, really great, but Air had some problems that can't be blamed on the stage and some that could. The sound was weak. Wasn't great for Placebo either, who also sucked for reasons other than the stage. Still, only really seemed loud enough for Of Montreal.

    I don't really have any stages that I particularly dislike, but if I had to choose one, it'd be the main stage.

    Hmmm. The main stage usually has great stuff at night, but rarely during the day. And obviously it's the most crowded, but it's possible to get breathing room allll the way in the back.

    I'm still an undecided voter.

    straight up. the only act I caught this year on the main stage that wasnt a headliner was Willie Nelson. GREAT set. and everyone was just hanging out, sitting down, relaxing, it was very nice. i was pleasntly surprised.

    agreed. Willie put on a killer show, and the vibe was unbeatable.

    my vote goes to the outdoor theater. good acts, but tech problems made me not want to spend any time there. stephen marley was late, but good. jarvis cocker was late, but good. air was late, but...oh yea...they were so late i ended up leaving.

    The outdoor stage needs a new sound guy or something....last year the left half of the PA went out for almost half of an of montreal song....it drove me crazy....AIR had great sound however...until they bailed!

    I don't care for the Sahara much other than for select acts.

    The Outdoor stage has the WORST acoustics. The Gobi is always too packed.

    Outdoor during the day is always no fun and the gobi at night rarely has any reason to go to it, then they always put that one act in the gobi where it gets far too crowded Whinehouse 07, Gnarls 06

    Word. There are few on the main worth seeing - the real gems are on the smaller stages.

    Agreed that outdoor had bad acoustics and it ran last last year. And what's the point of putting up a few bleachers when they are so far back? I guess it's better than nothing.

    yeah, my vote is for the outdoor stage. i think it is hard to focus on any act there. plus the main stage bleeds over to it alot.
