But when you have 30 guys screaming "go back to england" to massive attack, just because they cant wait another hour to see TOOL, it really sort of ruined the experience. That and, liz frazer totally sucked. Her vocals were totally drowned out, and she seemed like she was on anti depressants or something. Otherwise, totally pleased.

I was really looking forward to seeing Massive Attack this year, but it seems like their performance was so anti-climatic. I thought they were awesome anyway, and I wasn't expecting to hear much from their older albums. I was in front of the stage on the right; being pressed against the barrier by hundreds of Tool fans is not fun. Also, what's not fun is that the people around you are so unimpressed by Massive Attack. I also heard a bunch of people yelling at them to get off the stage and stop with the "gay ass electronica."
It was also anti-climatic after having watched Daft Punk the night before with one of the best performances ever at Coachella. I felt so overwhelmed by the stage set up, the music and the energy from the people around me. Everyone was nonstop dancing, jumping, cheering, just
wow. I'm hoping someone recorded a bootleg of that.
Other highlights: Sigur Ros, Ladytron (I only caught the last bit), Tool was great from the outskirts of the angry mob, Los Amigos Invisibles, and Metric.
