a typical waiting time during the day for Man Man at one of the tents
Man Man were great too! they sounded a lot like old confusing Tom Waits music, somebody called their act "Viking Jazz" so that might give you an idea...

Café Tacuba
no doubt one of the 'hottest' acts during the day, they were right ON! great performance live, i haven't seen "los Cafetos" since 2000 in Mexico City and their performance is so much more solid now... they put a really great energetic show that keep dancing the crowd for a while... and of course the mexican crowd went crazy when the singer called the festival Mexico-chella!, yeah big mexican population there...

where to go? one of the hard things of Coachella is to decide what to see! with 4 stages and other 'side-shows' going around, is hard to make up your mind on what to see...

radioactivity
.
Kraftwerk put an excellent show, as usual, but i have seen a complete set by them before, about 2 hrs long, so this 45 minute entrance was for me more of a mood setter for Portishead... they were great anyway... and i got to practice my german, since they open the set with a machine-read "Guten Abend" and finished it with the same effect on their "Auf wiedersehen"...

wearing their electric suits, making gala of german perfection in engineering...
they brought the Robots on stage too! while changing for these suits... i feel by now, people like seeing the super cool Robots more than the member of Kraftwerk themselves... great show!

the magic of Portishead and their wonderful acoustic version of Wandering Star here, "Portishead guitarist Adrian Utley uses a pair of needle-nose pliers as a bow to play his guitar like a metallic violin."
do not miss it here, and wait until the end for her amazing amazing amazing solo vocals...
