First Aid Kit

[xuclarockerx]

They were great, especially the vocal harmonies of course.

[KickerConspiracy]

Anyone seeing them tonight in SF? I have prior dinner plans or else I'd definitely love to catch them again.

Weekend 1 . Right Middle

[gaypalmsprings]

I watched them today and was shocked that I loved them. At first they reminded me of Little House on the Prairie with their outfits and looks. But they brought on the great music and the crowd loved them.

[Cheddar's Cousin]

So glad I was there.

Also glad they powered through the technical difficulties.

Also glad they finished with Lion Roar.

They made me glad.

Also glad they finished with Lion Roar.

They made me glad.

Totally agree, they were one of my top three favorites. Wonderful stuff, even with a few technical issues to fight their way through.

[bcbooya]

I was there too, and I thought they were awesome. What technical difficulties were they having? I couldn't tell... was there something wrong with the keyboard? I was up pretty close and everything sounded good to me.

[bmack86]

Yeah, the keyboard wouldn't hold the setting she wanted or something? I thought they were really excellent and super charming. Loved their set.

Their set was by far one of my favorites this past weekend. I thought they showed just how talented they are when they overcame the keyboard problems that occurred. It was nice hearing that mini acoustic set in the middle. Then I went to meet them at the Zia tent to get a vinyl signed and take a picture and they were so nice to talk to. Very friendly. I love everything about this band.

[aguadulce]

Definitely one of the best shows I saw !!

I was wondering what kind of technical difficulties you could have with just an acoustic guitar, simple keyboard, and drums.

[Goatchella]

We used a lot of band aids and even did some mild surgery using antiseptic wipes and a scalpel.

Good thing I brought my first aid kit

[TomAz]

Well I'm a goddamn coward, but then again so are you

[amili.oh]

it was beautiful.

DSCI3487.jpg Such a moving set. Absolutely heavenly.

[Stickjohn]

One of my favorite sets - I loved how supportive the crowd was despite the gaps. Apparently they fried a keyboard in Chicago earlier this month and just got a new one, so maybe that was part of the issue.

One of my friends did the Facebook check-in thing and got two txts thinking he was hurt.

[TheMusicMan]

The Lions Roar is my new favorite song, and Ghost Town. Never heard of First Aid Kit before or had any thought of seeing them at Coachella. Was glad I decided to seek some shade where they were about to come on and play. Stayed for the whole set just mesmerized.

[TomAz]

It's not that it's boring, it all just starts blending in(sorta like Tallest Man on Earth). It starts out great, but after a couple songs you can't wait to see something else.

This was not my experience at all, not in the least. the 45 minutes blew by like it was nothing. I was ready for them to keep going another hour. Mesmerizing.

[grichsgang]

Ghost town made cry like a five year old.

[TomAz]

So I'm looking at videos on youtube and I click on this one and the first thing I see is the back of Josh ragepatton's big old ugly Canadian head.

[rage patton]

Bahaha. Obviously they don't like the back of my head either, which is why they moved a few seconds into the video.

But seriously, this cover was one of my favorite moments of the festival this year.

I saw them in Philly at the end of March and knew there was no way I was missing them weekend one at Coachella. The version they did of "Emmylou" in Philly just blew the crowd away, and then when they did "Ghost Town", they did it a capella and ahd the entire audience sing along. This made me appreciate that song even more.

And Sunday's weekend one set of theirs was one of my festival highlights as well.
