My Coachella 2007 Review and Rankings
Clark Benson 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.

The Good The Bad And The Queen

Alternative rock, Rock music, Pop rock More - 4
Alternative rock, Rock music, Hard rock More“ Excellent afternoon KOL set. „ - 5
Rock music, Progressive rock, Post-rock More“ Great set. As an instrumental band, wasn't really sure they would "bring it" on the main stage. They did. „ - 6
Alternative rock, Indie rock, Post-punk revival“ Missed the first few songs. 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 More“ I don't remember the details, but remember this set being better than the sets I had seen them play the year before or after at Lolla and Bonnaroo. „

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, Hard rock, Jazz fusion More“ 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
- 11 Alternative rock, Post-punk, Indie rock More“ 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, Electronic music, Punk rock More“ 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 More“ Caught "I Predict A Riot" and one or two other songs, which was perfect, as that song absolutely kills. „
- 14 Alternative rock, Indie rock, Dance-punk More“ Hit and miss, much like their albums are to me. „
- 15 Electropop, Experimental rock, Indie rock More“ Only caught a few songs. „
- 16 Alternative rock, Indie rock, Indie pop More“ Not personally a fan but I respect this band a lot and the crowd was going OFF. http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/arcade-fire/2007/coachella-festival-indio-ca-1bd4f9bc.html „
- 17 Folk music, Alternative rock, Electronic music More
- 18 Alternative rock, Folk rock, Punk rock More
- 19 Alternative country, Country, Reggae More“ Love Willie but this was not a career-defining moment. 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. „
- 20 Electronic music, Alternative dance, House music More“ The other big hype of the fest. Not my thing, don't really get them, tho they did have a pretty big production. „
- 21 Alternative rock, Electronic music, Dance music More“ Saw a song or two. „
- 22 Alternative rock, Rock music, Pop rock More“ Yawn. What a total bore this band is live (I only bothered to see them because I was walking that way anyhow, and didn't stay for long). „
- 23 Alternative rock, Rock music, Pop rock More“ I can't stand CH personally but my wife loves them so we caught the full set. She had a great time. „
