Highlights included the LUMINEERS, SOCIAL DISTORTION, VAMPIRE WEEKEND, and RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS. Social D always puts on a good show. I was walking to and from my car for the whole thing, but they sounded great. The Lumineers were good. Vampire Weekend sounded very good and were really tight as a band. RHCP were a little off to me. They just weren't nearly as tight. There were a few times when it seemed like they were trying to "jam" or change things up, but it didn't sound like the band was on the same page from time to time and missed a few beats. Most surprising thing about COACHELLA - No mosh-pits. I realize it ain't a metal show, but I've seen mosh-pits in some really stupid places. I thought one or two would breakout during the uptempo portions of Chilli Pep's performance. But no. I was quite happy to be wrong. I hate mosh-pits. Didn't see anyone flying "horns" at the show either. Which I was also thankful for. Again, I've see people flying horns in lots of places they don't belong. (MUSE for example)
