Coachella 2018

you would think the music would just Disperse in the desert instead they're able the fill up the room with sound

Pretty Impressive

lmao fleet foxes over one of the most iconic performances of all time?

Weird, right?

what is this thread watching, this Bey performance is srsly one of the best things I've ever seen

This is lame af, feels like I'm watching a Superbowl halftime show.

I started reading other threads while Beyonce was on, and that manic "White Light/White Heat" from the Matrix tapes began playing in the background at a low volume. It sounded really great until I realized what was happening and shut the VU off.

never post again.

pull every single installation/exhibit from every museum nation wide for the next 3 months and just put up one tv with this performance on repeat

Spottie otm

like how is this performance even real

Waaaattt?

Just add a Destiny's Child reunion to the finale, why not?

how is this free

still watching

not sure how

a bit unfair to naus and especially Elvis Telecom, both get ILxORs

I kept watching. Second half of the set much better.

i've been watching bits and pieces of the beyonce set, the mix on the stream was very bad at the start (fairly standard for the coachella stream though) but it got better as it went on

Glad I tuned in :) I'm kinda fascinated by watching it live lol

i was being like 23% serious xps
anyway that was unreal

Beyoncé gave us a pep rally and a dance recital and a second line and a revival and a homecoming and a block party and an opera and a movie and a play.

she brought out Jay, Solange, Destiny's Child and a marching band, sang and danced most of the time and the energy level never dipped for 2 solid hours, i ain't never seen nothing like that.

i wasnt even planning on watching but couldnt stop once it started

I missed the first 15 mins or so but goddamn, that was incredible. Daft Punk who?

that performance was fully insane... i was freaking out in real time. i can’t believe she gave coachella that much. the arrangements really presented her music in its best possible light

it's tremendous how effortless she makes it all seem

This is one of those situations where the two weekend thing makes it all a bit strange when the second one rolls around. Like...how could she top that? (Alternately, imagine her coming out and just doing a quiet Unplugged thing next week for two hours.)

is the beyonce set available to watch online anywhere ?

I had a thought similar to this last night. Like, however much she's getting paid, she's getting paid regardless. She didn't have to do all that! But she did, which I guess is why she's the biggest musical artist on Earth.

But last night ... fully insane is right ... Questlove had a good tweet last night the second it ended about how much was going on and how much work it must've been.

My assumption here is that she gets paid a fee, and then she (her team/corp/whatever) pays some production cost (and so does Coachella). So she could take her fee, bring a 6-piece band and perform her stuff and take home the rest of the money, or she could take her fee, bring in 200 people including a marching band, dozens of dancers, etc., etc., and make less money, right?

So she chooses to do the latter because ... I don't know, she's Beyonce and wants to stay Beyonce?

I’m still sour that the company I kept had us leave before the end of Prince’s set in 2008, which was a little less of a spectacle of numbers but definitely not less of a spectacle of talent

Beyonce was special, i couldn't go to bed until it ended and i was so tired.

xp: Dua Lipa's ex-boyfriend

Maybe I’m cynical but Beyonce benefits from giving it all on a Coachella performance even if that means using all the fee money on the show (which I seriously doubt)

Jessie Ware

was cardi b’s set like 15 minutes long?. what happened there?. i kept thinking that stage prop the strippers were dancing on was about to fall on her.

Portugal. the Man could be interesting

love too see all those Blazers jerseys on stage for P.TM

OMG Kamasi Washington

yeah, kamasi is doing really good right now.

is the beyonce set available to watch online anywhere ?

I searched twitter and found people tweeting video clips -- search hashtag #BEYCHELLA

this nu-Soulwax (inc Iggor Cavalera as one of 3+ drummers!) is a beast, please come and play indoors near me ASAP

links still working but might be taken down soon.

what a performance!

I imagine they'll put it on Tidal if they can.

I'm guessing Coachella's licensing terms are bad

Tidal's already attempting to build that brand synergy, though
