Coachella

It is defiantly safe to say that this years Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival was the best. With Roger Waters of Pink Floyd headlining and closing out Sunday night, the festival had a hippie feel rather then a usual hipster vibe.
While acts such as rap duo The Cool Kids and trip hop heroes Portishead played, it was still evident what we were there to see. The legendary front man of Pink Floyd perform his oh so hip album Dark Side of The Moon.
The show began with a massive screen over taking the Coachella Main Stage. On the screen was what appeared to be a radio and a giant hand of a teenager in a very 70’s esq. bedroom. The hand periodically ‘changed the station’ and the music we heard from the speakers. This literally drove the crowd absolutely mad.
When his set finally started the crowd ate it up. It was hard to imagine anyone at the festival choosing to pass it up.
Madness ensued when Mr. Waters began playing Pigs from the 1977 Pink Floyd album “Animals”. A giant inflated pig covered in graffiti took over the sky. Fans screamed as the pig moved about the crowed.
Political slogans suck as “Don’t be led to the slaughter” and “Obama” were spray painted on the pigs body.
Planes circled overhead closely and dropped tiny pieces of paper that read “Vote Obama” on them over the top of us. Loud speakers surrounded the crowd and confused us with sounds of sinister laughing, cash registers closing, and crying coming from each direction.
The second half of the set was the entier "Dark Side of the Moon" album. A laser light show insued and the moniter flashed some of the most frightining images. The feeling of unity and crazy rock music was over powering. Thousands of fans ranging from three to 80, stood jaw dropped, shocked at all they were witnessing. A young girl next to me lit a dolar bill on fire and held it up whille singing along with the words of the song "money". None of us thought it could get any crazier.
Roger waters closed out his set by singing "Another Brick in the Wall" and "Comforatably Numb". Imagen for a moment some 60,000 people screaming at once "We dont need no education". It was one of the most intense moments in my Coachellla history.
