Best Sahara Act Since Daft Punk

[WhyTheLongFace]

Orbital was my favorite Sahara set of all time

[Gribbz]

I forgot how good Faithless was in 2007.

remember when crookers opened with pon di floor in 09? ..also deadmau5 10 was dope despite the number of 15 yr charity cases around me rolling face..i turned into a mommy pouring water into kidsiz mouths..

Sasha & Digweed in '08, I also really enjoyed Orbital in '10.

I voted Faithless. They were worth the anticipation for me. MSTRKRFT in '07 was fun. So was Hot Chip. I didn't see Etienne de Cracy but it looked and sounded pretty awful from the YTs. Boys Noize was incredible, too.

Bassnectar destroyed lives.

[heyeric]

Etienne De Crecy was such CRAP.

Orbital into Plastikman was out of this world.

I vote for that.

[iblaine]

Upvote for Plastikman. A girl I was with had to leave the Sahara tent because she couldn't take the bass. It was one of those shows that needed to be experienced in person to fully appreciate. However a year later I saw Plastikman do the same set at EDC 11 and it was not nearly as intense as it was in the Sahara tent...that may be due to the stage at EDC being outdoors. Also...about Coachella 2011 w/ Sasha, it was good, but not amazing. Sasha needs a good 2-3 hours to put together a good set and 60 mins in the Sahara tent was just a nice teaser.

Orbital!

I'd give it to Soulwax. Both Aphex Twin and Plastikman were mindblowing though, and I really loved Ritchie Hawtin's set in 2007.

[Zafocaine]

Ghostland's lazers

Exactly what I was thinking. My medicine was kicking in just right during that show.

Aphex was incredible. Plump DJs were unexpectedly fantastic in 09. Unexpected for me, anyway, I don't know dance music well.

[Vic Viper]

presets in 09 ranks PRETTY high.

[GuyInTucson]

Oh look, deadmau5 has more votes than Sasha.

[scenicworld]

Faithless should be the runaway number 1 in this poll. For shame, coachella message board. For shame.

[GuyInTucson]

I didn't go in 07 so I can't give an opinion on their set. I did see Sasha in his entirety and he was just incredible.

[scenicworld]

For me, Faithless was a cut above the rest because of them being a bit of a pioneer and especially for being a live band. But they didn't have a pretty light show, so the tent wasn't even that full.

I didn't see Sasha, so I guess I can't really compare the two.

[Poor Yorick]

Plastikman. The few of us who saw that phenomenon will agree.

Followed closely by Aphex Twin (08), Chemical Brothers (09), Plump DJs (09), Orbital (10), Sasha (11).

QFT. I had my first out-of-body experience during that set. Saw my dancing body melt beneath me from the rafters.
Also, I'd have to add LCD Soundsystem (07).
