Coachella

[Whittick]

Cam anyone who knows shed some light on the difference between Coachella and Bannraoo? Just what makes them separate.

On the whole hologram thing I think it was done very well, it wasn't as if people had paid for a whole gig and only got a hologram it was for only two songs and it was done really well.

This was only a small part of guest appearances such as Eminem, 50 Cent and Wiz khalifa so people definitely got their moneys worth as well as seeing an act that they would have no chance of otherwise seeing

[Yellow_Fellow]

That hologram was bloody impressive. It was like 2 songs, and it was Tupac, god damn.

[Vieuphoria]

bit creepy though. But very impressive

[gazza_20]

Coachella is a more electronic festival in the undercard, but higher up there are some more rockier bands, some rap etc.

Bonnaroo is more like Glastonbury where it has a good range and some massive acts.

[Vieuphoria]

Is it true that the security are all armed?

I'd feel uncomfortable going to a festival where the people in charge have guns.

dre performance is so good!!

Hope he does a show over here, would give my leftie to go and see this (hologram or no hologram).

Would be dreaming if we could get a Cobain hologram with the foos for one song for the 20th anniversary. Add Kist Novoselic to the mix and use the same footage as reading 1992 and that would be incredible.

Sod it, why not just get a hologram of Krist as well, have Dave mime-drumming along to the whole '92 gig being played over the PA with two holograms in front of him. In fact have his own hologram next to him to see if he can match how he played back then. That would be a classy way to honour the past and not tactless at all.

[chriseede]

The press and general reaction seems to suggests that this is the first ever use of holograms, it's not that special. It was overall a surprisingly good set but I'm not really a fan of Dre, Snoop (and Eminem and 50 Cent), so was never going to get me hugely excited.

For anyone who hasn't seen it.

I'll be honest until people were talking about them being booked to play Reading i'd never heard of them, but seeing this i'd definitely go see them!

[ArcticDan]

I'm sure American crowds are renown for being quite tame, that just might be me generalising though as I havn't actually experienced it

if something like that puts you off then you dont deserve to experince coa! its so warm you dont even want to drink. me and my two mates are big drinkers but only wanted water in the day just to stay alive. and the camping arrangement with your car is 10000 times better than leeds (although it would not work her with muddy fields and chavs smashing in windows)

[The Mean Bean]

Does anybody else find the Tupac hologram to be in very poor taste? I can't explain why, I just find it to be slightly horrendous.

[ArcticDan]

saying he doesnt deserve to experience it was a joke...

but you won't understand how little alcohol matters in the day other there, it doesn't cross your mind once that you'd wish you could drink, i even forgot about it in the end, and just drank at the tents in the night when it cools down.

Personally I thought it was in excellent taste, remembering a dead performer who contributed a lot to the genre with a part in an overall great headline show giving people the chance to see someone (even in hologram form) that they will never see again. Plus his mother was asked for the permission and she was very pleased with it so I dont see why it wouldnt be taken well.

[Gingo]

And it was done in a performance by two of his best friends.

[gazza_20]

Exactly! Another reason why it was in good taste, it wasnt done as a gimmick or showing off, it was just a tribute and what better way than letting Pac perform again

[JC-Mo'Fucka]

R&L need something different and IN to sell out tickets. Book Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg enough said. People will go for nastolgia if nothing else. And you would settle for decent bands making their way to major festival headline status due to what that was would, I think anyway?

[Andre91]

It was a great tribute to the greatest rapper of all time, done in great taste.
