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 ?

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
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

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)

I'm guessing Coachella's licensing terms are bad
Tidal's already attempting to build that brand synergy, though

still had a good time thou.
idk I think it's impossible to understate how important and incredible that Beyoncé set was
I was trying to work out the least it could've cost to put it all together and I guessed it must have been over 10m and probably more
The band alone, memorizing one-and-a-half hours of music with perfect moves intact
It kind of blew my mind when I realized that the string section was not wired but had still learned the arrangements and were miming them with believable accuracy-- to learn that much music to mime it onstage? my god
That was more than a full Vegas show and for what? two performances? She couldn't possibly tour that number of people
There must be some drug that Beyonce takes to inhibit sweating because I cannot believe a human is capable of that much performance without even breaking a sweat
The majorette was amazing
The twins looked like Eric Andre wearing a wig, when my friend pointed it out I couldn't unsee it
There was not a single non-black person onstage
I felt, the first time I watched Lemonade, that I was truly experiencing something seismic, and I felt it again last night while watching that performance
I said "what is it about Beyonce that is so Virgo" and bf said "she has that smugness like a kid who did their homework perfectly"
idk I'm pretty winded, I feel irrelevant as a musician, I feel thrilled to have witnessed that, and I'm probably going to watch it again and again for a long time

Same Jordan, I think my enthusiasm for her music is mistaken as being cut from the same cloth as the cult of the Beyhive but it’s like no how dare you
