My Coachella 2007 Review and Rankings By Clark Benson [84 more lists]
Not my fave lineup overall, though the Rage Against the Machine reunion was the all-powerful draw for me at the time.
Lotsa bands on this list that I am not a fan of and only saw becuz I was with people who wanted to see them, or there was nothing else to watch.
Ranked by how much I dug em.
- 1

The Good The Bad And The Queen
“ I had just seen them (and been pretty blown away) at SXSW. This set was just as good, though friends of mine who weren't as close up said they were disappointed. I think that was because they played relatively quietly and there was a lot of bleedover from someone on the main stage. „ - 3
Experimental rock, Funk metal, Hip Hop, Pop music, Rapcore, Rhythm and blues, Soul music, Trip hop MorePeeping TomIpecac Recordings“ The surprise for me of the weekend - while I'm a Patton fan I didn't think this band would be that good live. http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/peeping-tom/2007/coachella-festival-indio-ca-53d7537d.html „ - 4
Alternative rock, Rock music, Hard rock, Blues-rock, Indie rock, Garage rock, Southern rock MoreTennesseeOnly By the Night, Aha Shake Heartbreak, Use Somebody, On Call, Day Old Belgian Blues, Youth & Young Manhood, What I Saw, Fans, Holy Roller Novocaine EP, Notion EP, Wasted Time, King of the Rodeo, iTunes Live From SoHo, Because of the Times, Come Around Sundown, Holy Roller Novocaine, Revelry, Molly's Chambers, Four Kicks, Sex on Fire, Charmer, Radioactive MoreSony Music Entertainment, Sony BMG Music Entertainment, Columbia Records, RCA Records, Hand Me Down More“ Excellent afternoon KOL set. „ - 5

Thought Carlos looked ridiculous with his mustache. Interpol is not a particularly great live band but I love their music and was definitely in the mood to see them, so I enjoyed the set. http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/interpol/2007/coachella-festival-indio-ca-23d7dc4b.html „ - 7 Alternative rock, Post-punk, Punk rock, Experimental rock, Indie rock, Art punk, Noise rock, Avant-garde, No Wave, College rock, Post-hardcore, Art rock, Underground music MoreNew York CityNYC Ghosts & Flowers, Sonic Youth, The Diamond Sea, Kool Thing, Dirty Boots, Death Valley '69, Cotton Crown, SYR 1, Confusion Is Sex, Helen Lundeberg / Eyeliner, Master=Dik, Hold That Tiger, Battery Park, NYC: July 4th 2008, Simon Werner a Disparu, Blastic Scene, SYR 2, Sonic Youth, Made in USA, Hits Are for Squares, SYR8: Andre Sider Af Sonic Youth, Daydream Nation, Silver Session (For Jason Knuth), SYR 4: Goodbye 20th Century, Sugar Kane, Kill Yr.

Konono No. 1
“ Very enjoyable, though it did get slightly monotonous after a half hour or so. Pretty empty tent, somewhat surprisingly. I had thought these guys had transcended past "world music" to "hipster-friendly world music". „ - 9 Alternative rock, Jazz fusion, Punk rock, Funk-rock, Psychedelic rock, Jazz-funk, Funk metal MoreLos AngelesThe Uplift Mofo Party Plan, Around the World, Out in L.A., Get the Funk Out, The Best of Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Zephyr Song, What Hits!?, The Plasma Shaft, Red Hot Chemistry, Stadium Arcadium, Tell Me Baby, What Hits?!, Aeroplane, Slap Happy, Live Rare Remix Box, Can't Stop, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, ITunes Originals - Red Hot Chili Peppers, Dani California, Psychedelic Sexfunk Live from Heaven, Californication, Under the Covers: Essential Red Hot Chili Peppers, Road Trippin', The Abbey Road EP, My Friends, Desecration Smile, Platinum Collection 99, Higher Ground, Give It Away, Breaking the Girl, Live in Hyde Park, Under the Bridge, Live at Slane Castle, Funky Monks, Freaky Styley, Mother's Milk, Blood Sugar Sex Magik, One Hot Minute, Otherside, By the Way, By the Way, Greatest Hits, Fortune Faded, B-Sides, Coffee Shop, Outakes and Demos 1985-1988, Scar Tissue, Soul to Squeeze, Suck My Kiss, Taste the Pain, Warped, Woodstock '99 Live Set, Dani California, Snow ((Hey Oh)), Universally Speaking, Greatest Hits, Red Hot Chili Peppers discography, Organic Soundball, Californication, Stadium Arcadium, Off the Map, Live at Slane Castle, Melodic Flea Way, Hump De Bump, I'm with You MoreEMI, Warner Bros. Records, Warner Bros. Records“ Only caught about half hour of the set. What I did see I didn't like that much, but oddly had loved their Lollapalooza headliner around the same time, so maybe I just caught a lull. The Chilis have always been very hit-and-miss live for me, usually more miss. http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/red-hot-chili-peppers/2007/coachella-festival-indio-ca-33d6a0a5.html „

Tiesto
“ Saw about 45 mins - some great, some (unsurprising) cheez. „ - 11 Alternative rock, Post-punk, Indie rock, Indie pop, Shoegazing, Noise pop MoreGlasgowReverence, I Love Rock 'n' Roll, Come On, Honey's Dead, The Complete John Peel Sessions, Automatic, Far Gone and Out EP, Come On, The Peel Sessions, Upside Down: The Best Of, Stoned & Dethroned, Blues From a Gun, The Sound of Speed, 21 Singles, Rollercoaster E.P., Some Candy Talking E.P., Munki, Psychocandy, Darklands, Far Gone and Out, Almost Gold, Sometimes Always, Vengeance, Happy When It Rains, Sound of Speed E.P., Cracking Up, Darklands EP, Darklands, Barbed Wire Kisses, Head On, I Hate Rock 'n' Roll, Hate Rock 'n' Roll, Live in Concert, Just Like Honey, Sidewalking, Barbed Wire Kisses, The Power of Negative Thinking: B-Sides & Rarities, Rollercoaster, Live in Heaven 1987, Upside Down, April Skies, You Trip Me Up MoreAmerican Recordings, Sub Pop, Blanco y Negro Records, Creation Records“ Caught the whole set sitting in the grass. Found them quite enjoyable - have never been a huge fan except for much of the Automatic record. Just have never found them to be particularly memorable songwriters, and the songs didn't exactly shine thru here either - but that thick live sound did. Much better than the only other time I saw them, Lollapalooza '92 where they were miserable playing in the early afternoon and utterly bombed. This was the set where I think Scarlett Johannson appeared on stage - probably for the better I was not very close as if I knew that was her for sure I would've been a bit aghast. „
- 12 Synthpop, Punk rock, Indie rock, Electronica, Dance-punk, Electro house MoreNew York CitySomeone Great, 45:33, Big Ideas, Disco Infiltrator, Bye Bye Bayou, London Sessions, Disco Infiltrator (FK Mixes), Introns, LCD Soundsystem, This Is Happening, Sound of Silver, Live at Alexandra Palace: 10-11-2010, North American Scum, Too Much Love (Rub n Tug mix), A Bunch of Stuff, 45:33, Losing My Edge, All My Friends, Losing My Edge, I Can Change, Give It Up, Confuse The Marketplace, Yeah, Daft Punk Is Playing at My House, The London Sessions, Fabric Live 36, Tribulations MoreEMI, Capitol Records, Virgin Records, DFA Records“ The buzz set of the fest. I only saw a few songs of a packed tent, so hard to properly rank. I have gotten more into them since the show - I found his first album to be pretty hit and miss, and this was a set from that cycle. „
- 13 Alternative rock, Rock music, New Wave, Britpop, Indie rock, Pop punk, Power pop, Post-punk revival MoreLeedsModern Way, Oh My God, I Predict a Riot, Everything Is Average Nowadays, Employment, Oh My God, Yours Truly, Angry Mob, Off with Their Heads, Lap of Honour, Never Miss a Beat, The Angry Mob, Good Days Bad Days, Yours Truly, Angry Mob (bonus DVD), Employment, Enjoyment, Ruby, Second Album, Everyday I Love You Less and Less, The Future Is Medieval MoreUniversal Music Group, Universal Records, Polydor Records, Liberation Music, Drowned in Sound, B-Unique Records More“ Caught "I Predict A Riot" and one or two other songs, which was perfect, as that song absolutely kills. „

Bjork
“ Not a fan of Bjork but I do have a lot of respect for her talents, and as some friends wanted to watch, I caught half the set. Highlight for me was definitely her playing that weird electronic instrument called I think a Reactable - never seen anything remotely like it (have attached a video, tho it's not from Coachella) Setlist: http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/bjork/2007/coachella-festival-indio-ca-7bd69290.html „ - 18

Poor song choices, poor pacing. Wasn't playing very loud, so even on main stage was hard to hear from a ways back as there was a lot of wind and stage bleed. The crowd was bored. „
