I'll be the first to post here....looking forward to my California trip....spend some time in LA, see the Order in the desert, and ponder whether or not i should drive up from LA to Oakland then down to Palm Springs....or just wait for NYC....decision, decisions, decisions.... :confused:

10 Apr 2005, 20:09

May have one seat open in a car heading from Oakland to Palm Springs after the show....is any desperate for a ride and willing to kick in for gas.....just thought i'd make the offer.....

10 Apr 2005, 21:31

If anybody needs an extra ticket for both days...contact me...

Who's Joe...I'd take you up on your offer, but I'm flying down there...

17 Apr 2005, 07:17

yes, only us idiots dare plan to drive from LA on the 28th for a show on the 29th only to turn around on the 29th or very early on the 30th to drive to a show that starts at 11:30am on the same morning.......

Now that you mention it, this would be a good time to invest in a radar detector.

18 Apr 2005, 02:48

Well, the good news seems to be that the forecast for temperatures will be quite a bit less than last year's heatwave.

Indio 10 day forecast.

Good thing my new driver's license came in the mail yesterday. At the last concert I went to, I was denied a beer braclet because my license was expired. :banghead:

27 Apr 2005, 07:20

So are we sure there is no Hooky dj set in Indio? I would hate to miss this.

Hey Joe, Do you need anything (DVD or cd) I can bring there???

I should be easy to find, If it is warm in Oakland I will wear my Get Ready tour shirt and is its cold I will wear my long sleeve Hard Rock cafe shirt. I'm guessing warm.

Also I got a buzz cut and will stick around after the show, by the stage to try and find everybody So if everybody is leaving, I will be the guy standing around doing this :shrug:

Think there's gonna be a few of us down there.....The Happy One [Sam] - fresh from sleeping on mine and Al's hotel room floor, George Saunders, Turn Jim, Green, Dave Church and his bird etc.

It wasn't TOO hot down there yesterday, we saw Bloc Party and Razorlight then spent the rest of the day in the beer gardens.

Gonna be wearing the Area:One T-shirt today if anyone's around.

Regret
Transission
Hey now, what you doing?
Krafty
Jetstream
BLT
Love will tear us apart
Crystal
Blue Monday

I just got back from Coachella. I left right after New Order to beat the 100 thousand people at this thing.

But ok here is my story!

First Barney hurt his foot dancing in Oakland so he was in ruff shape for this show. No dancing! He even walked off the stage in BLT when he normally dances. Hope fully he will be ok for Chicago, but now I know why he stood still like a robot in Blue Monday at Oakland.

Anyways I get there at 12:30pm and notice there to nobody at the stage, so I go and get front row when Phil plays. After battling the sun all day, New Order take the stage at 7:35. I was happy to see atmosphere first as it was left off of Oakland due to time. After the song was over I screamed Phil, Phil, Phil and got him to wave at me!!! (Hightlight of the show for me) Barney then goes on to say He love Palm Spings and wants to move here, and asks is anybody has been to Manchester, then asks if they like it. When to crowd said no, he says "Right answer" Anyways I was having the time of my life. The crowd was great (No pushing) It was great I was front row and space around me to breathe, unlike Oakland that I was getting squished and bumbed all threw the show. (Thanks you Britts :nono: ;) )

It was funny because I could not hear the backing from where I was so in songs like Krafty I herd nothing in the chorus, and it still sounded great.

Barney was kinda in a foul mood because of his leg but sounded great, even if he screwed up Blt (missing the second chourus) And Peter was not very talkative but sounded great. Steve was Steve! And Phil was the only person who seemed happy. Even smiled while he was playing Hey Now. (Maybe because I kept chanting his name)

After Regret and the Photographers had to leave Peter said "Its time for the Photographers to leave so F**k off, Get the F**K out of here"

And Barney ended the show by saying "Sorry we could only play for one hour, and sorry for our bad mood tonight, but thats how it goes"

Overall great show!!! I had the time of my life!

And Big thanks to Al "Monster" Jarvis for telling me to go to the Left side of the stage! And for but Killing me and bumbing me this concert!

Hehe, after Hooky's photographer tirade, I loved it when Barney said something along the likes of, "You can take as many pictures you'd like of me" and did a pose. Was it before WFTSC where Barney said, "Oh look, there's a helicopter!"?

The sound was pretty bad (from where I was at least). But still worth it. I didn't expect the Coachella to be as uncrowded as it was. Had I known, I would've gotten there earlier to stake out on the front row. =/

About the pushing thing, it was pretty bad on the right side (The crowd is split down the center with a barricaded walkway). When "Transmission" started, it got REALLY bad, squished and smooshed beyond belief. Everytime I looked over to Phil's side, everyone looked comfortable and no one seemed to be pushing.

1 May 2005, 23:44

if anybody has an exact setlist of this show, im dieing to see it.

1 May 2005, 23:48

I think Jim's setlist is right

1 May 2005, 23:56

The above setlist is correct, I think.

The show: brilliant. Almost even better that they were in foul moods.

Hooky's quote was "I've got these fucking photographers up in my tits. Fuck off, the lot of you." He was looking and pointing at specific photographers in the pit when he said it. Hilarious.

Part of the mood may have come from the fact that they had to follow on the heels of Gang of Four, who managed to pull out one of the most amazingly true performances of their career- but then, this isn't a Gang of Four board!

:nono:

Back to the boys.

Atmosphere. They opened the freaking set with it. Love Will Tear Us Apart. Hooky dedicated it to Steve, followed by "you bastard."

Bernard had sprained/injured his foot and mentioned it a couple of times during the show, i.e., he announced that they were going to do a dance song and asked that we take care of the dancing because he could not. Enter: "Bizarre Love Triangle."

The sound engineer messed up the bass in the mix for the first couple songs but got it straightened out. Stuff from "Siren" included "Waiting for the Siren's Call," "Hey Now What You Doing," "Krafty," and "Jetstream" (with the Scissor Sister vocal on tape).

Only "Crystal" showed up from Get Ready, but it was massively well performed and well received. Maybe the best song of the night.

"Blue Monday" got the attention of just about everyone at Coachella when they wrapped the set with it, but then, it's "Blue Monday" and they're New Order so no doubt.

Feeling totally fortunate to have seen this great band tonight.

I'll post some pics for you in a minute.
