Like Andre gave zero fucks about the premier American festival. Will he really give a shit about Big Guava? Lol
You're totally right. The very first Outkast show in ten years was somewhat lackluster, so everybody should just give up all hope for their next 40 shows and not even go.
I didn't see the Outkast set last night (yet?), but it sounds very disappointing that someone thought Future in this Outkast reunion set was a good idea.
Give Future his own set to be totally shit at everything. Hopefully for those going weekend two, they don't do that again.
The good news is it's almost guaranteed that Future is a Coachella-only appearance, so there's an extra ten minutes of set time they have to work with for future shows!
My 100% honest setlist critique: take out the Future songs and it's fucking perfect. Can't wait to see this evolve as the tour goes on.
I can almost agree with this. Especially the first 8-9 tracks were just classic after classic. Once the Future shit happened I was honestly remembering how tired I was I think. Was hard to gain steam after that but I know if I would have been in the crowd when the bassline to Hootie Hoo started up I probably would have been right back into it.
EDIT: If the tour setlists remain the same amount of time or longer and without all the guests I would love for them to include Jazze Bell, Two Dope Boys, Southernplayer, and Chonkyfire.
Also I think they could get a little more creative with spottieottie. Idk what Im thinking, maybe they just talk to the crowd during their verses in a random way and let the horns come back in.

You guys are retarded. Andre definitely isn't incredibly fond of live performances (probably a lot of stage fright), which I'm sure was compounded by it being the first performance in 8 years and in front of a huge (and shitty) crowd.

Why would this be a cash grab? Neither 3k or Big Boi need money. Big Boi has been touring for a minute, and Andre just had a leading film role.
I don't think it's fair to make assumptions if they need/don't need money either way. The money to be made with a reunion is obviously a factor in them playing "40 festivals sets" or whatever.

Are people completely forgetting how amazing this show was until Future came out? Did they not demolish Gasoline Dreams, Rosa Parks, Skew It, Atliens, Storytelling, and especially Aquemini nearly in a row? Go back and read this thread until Future came on. That was winding up to be an amazing fucking show. It only tailed off a little at the end and Andre seemed a bit upset but it was not a huge deal.
For me, having experienced Dre/Snoop and Jay-Z at coach I expected (and hoped) the outkast show to be just as well done. Instead it was more along the lines of the cee lo set - confusion.

THANK YOU, it started off fucking amazing and everything you could want from this reunion. I have no doubt it will get better from here.

Lmao. Get off of that bull crap man.
The "premier american music festival" completely fucked andre's mic during aquemini and the two songs before it. Big Boi's was 100x clearer and louder, and andre had to ask at least 3 times for it to be turned up to no avail. Then there's HORRENDOUS feedback, worse than I have ever personally seen live, for the first 20 seconds of Spottieottiedopalicious while he is trying to tell a story to the crowd.
The DJ could have cut ms. jackson short for time concerns, but I've also seen reports that it was an auido problem.
If I was performing material that was personal to me for the first time in 10 years and the venue I was playing at couldn't even set my levels right for MULTIPLE songs I'd be upset as well. I can understand a lot of vitriol being aimed in future's direction. I don't agree with him being a part of the performance. I stopped watching at spottie because it was 3am but given the fact that the first 10 songs or so of the set looked like one of the best live experiences you can have, I don't think the word "lackluster" applies to this set at all.
It just needs a little bit of fine tuning in terms of how it's structured.
He may not have been happy the entire show, but the poor guy has lost both his parents in the last couple months
I love when people use this excuse. Parallels with the ATDI reunion and Omar's clear disinterest in being there.
Know what I did the night my father died? I coached a football game/went out there and did my job. We carry on.
You don't find that to be an unrealistic expectation? Everyone handles death and grieving differently. Did the death of parents affect either Andre or Omar's performance? Only they know. Maybe it had nothing to do with it. But the expectation that everyone should be able to go out and carry on while pretending everything is fine is what I don't agree with.
Wow, Coachella sucks. This was Outkast's first show in a decade and they wouldn't let them finish their finale just because of a fine? They payed it for McCartney.

I think the fact that they soundchecked a bunch of songs that they didn't play (International Players Anthem ESPECIALLY) bodes well for the fact that there will be some setlist juggling throughout the tour.
This show kicked ass.
I still can't even get over the image Andre and Big Boi boppin' next to each other, huges smiles on their faces during Da Art of Storytellin. Holy fuck that was good.
The Spottie singalong didn't seem to jive with the crowd but I'll tell ya, if Sleepy Brown tells me to say Damn James, you BET YOUR FUCKIN ASS I'm screamin DAMN, DAMN, DAMN JAAAAMES!
I think the show was great. They came out so fucking hard. I think that happened is Dre went too hard in the beginning. During the Love Below songs he said something about blowing his voice out earlier. I think what you saw as disinterest was really self consciousness. Maybe they should cut the Love Below songs? The Future shit should definitely never have happened and should be cut. other than that that show was incredible and I can't wait to see them in 2 weeks!

How is me calling Coschella America's top festival bull crap? If Andre was asking them to turn his mic up, wouldn't he have been meaning his monitors (since that's what HE's hearing)? I didn't hear the feedback part. I will say that as far as live sound goes I've never heard it done anywhere better hsn that coach main stage. Time is why the DJ cut two of their biggest songs short. So yes, structure is exactly what this show needs.

1) cutting outkast when they have one song left on their first night is a terrible decision. Its disrespectful.
2) almost as much as bringing out Future for three songs. Wtf
I hope outkast can get it together. I've got faith that they will. I'm legitimately surprised the fest had multiple fuck ups for outkasts first show. The world is watching. That shit needs to be on point.
Though i'll be seeing outkast this summer at forecastle, im strangely happy bonnaroo went in a different direction. I dunno.
Ok, still haven't watched it. Buuuuut I'm currently watching the replay of Girl Talk, and it's making remember what a fun ass show that was when I saw him a couple of years ago. I would LOVE to see Girl Talk again... Ellie Goulding sounded really good live too, low energy at times, but she's adorable so who cares...
Whaaaaaat? No chance they cut Prototype, Roses, Hey Ya.They certainly won't take out two of their biggest songs, and I personally thought Prototype was awesome.
