also, was the stream for anyone else super glitchy or is that just me? like seriously, the video is freezing like every 45 20 seconds for 3 seconds or so but the sound keeps going. it's really annoying. I just have it playing in the background now because i'm tired of seeing it freeze.
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.
He definitely had trouble singing them and this is what caused his down turn in energy. Maybe they will work it out.
Completely agree on the Andre nerves thing. He's actually gone on record saying he has no talent. He's your typical insecure artist. He's his hardest critic, and when he didn't hit that last note on She Lives In My Lap and began to shittalk himself, I was practically screaming at my laptop monitor like "NO! Don't worry Andre! You're doin' fine!!"
Exactly. Andre walked away from this thing long before his parent's passing.
I'm not arguing that it did or did not have an effect on him. I'm just saying you can't make some blanket statement like you did.
You were able to coach a football game and hold it together the night your dad died. That's great for you, but I'd wager the majority of people on this planet are not like that.
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.
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.
I wasn't really aiming the "bull crap" comment at coachella being the premier music festival. I've never been, but I'm sure their production is typically top notch. I was aiming it at all of the andre hate. Yeah, Andre can be a temperamental performer but coachella certainly gave him a lot to be temperamental about. Go watch the beginning of spottie again. The guy can't even get a word in with out awful feedback coming through.

First time performing together in 10 years, shit's gonna happen. Thought overall it a great setlist, crowd could have had a little more energy but what are you gonna do. They'll work out the jitters and I can't wait to see them at Gov Ball, hoping they bring out Raekwon for Skew it On the Bar B for that one.

edot: it's getting worse the longer it plays.
I know when I was watching the stream last year, I had better luck watching directly from Coachella's website as opposed to Youtube. No idea why it made a difference, could have just been coincidence.
You might just restart your computer and router/modem too, couldn't hurt.
Wish I could watch the stream this year, but stuck out with barely any internet access right now. Hopefully in a few days I can catch up
Edit: Looks like they don't have the stream on their site anymore, or maybe just when it's live?
Here's my take. Choosing a huge music festival as your first show in a decade was a mistake. Outkast should have a done a small show or two in a smaller venue. Having a warm-up show or two at the beginning would have helped iron out the kinks in their stage show and let Andre ease back into performing for a large crowd. I know Coachella obsessed over being first, but it would have been smarter to let them warm-up before hitting the festival circuit.

I plan on watching the Live stream tonight, we'll see if it makes a difference the live stream vs the replay...
also, the disclosure sample in girl talk was a nice little treat/ surprise
anyone think they should end with BOB? hey ya seems to anticlimactic
The Whole World woulda been sooooo damn nice though.
I think opening with BOB was an awesome way to say FUCK ALL YALL! WE BACK!
Being on the east coast, I was soooo tired and just wanting to go to bed waiting for Outkast to start, but when BOB came on I actually jumped outta my chair and started grooving. Motherfucking INSTANT energy!

I'm hoping they change up the setlist and don't run the same show each time but we'll see. Obviously, they won't have all the guests that they have had.
Exactly. Andre walked away from this thing long before his parent's passing.

I agree with you that the majority of us aren't like that.
But we can't say the reason Andre didn't perform well was because he lost his parents.
ha, my aunt just told me that Big Boi and Andre are staying at her hotel all week. Soo... that's kinda cool. I told her to get me pic nonchalantly if she can..

No real backing vocals, minimum stage setup, live DJ and band, and a great setlist of hits and b sides. About halfway through the set now but seems like it was a good show to be at. Yea a little more practice could of went along way, but like it was said they will only get better as they tour. And just the fact its the first show with some guest appearances makes it special.
Last night I was only able to tune in for the last 4 or 5 songs, and I thought it was excellent. Maybe the drop-off in energy level was noticeable compared to the beginning of the show, but I thoroughly enjoyed what I heard. I'm rewatching the stream now, and yea, it's kinda wack with Andre just pretty much standing on the stage during "Behold a Lady", but I'd be thoroughly surprised of a large amount of the forthcoming shows are similar. For a self-conscious performer, putting on the first performance of the reunion of one of the best and biggest hip-hop acts in history at one of the biggest festivals in the world is a lot of pressure. Though I will say that now that I'm seeing Dre not be hyped for "Roses, all of a sudden I understand how overly underwhelming the performance was is. Artists are human too though, and sometimes they have bad performances. This was a bad time to have a bad performance, but eh, it happens. It still sounds great if you're not watching them perform, and you can bet your butt I'll be going crazy for them when I see them at Firefly.
Ok, whoever said there was no feedback issues clearly did not watch spottieottiedopaliscious... Soooo much feedback at the beginning. That's where I'm at now and other than the one mic issue for Andre so far & a lackluster crowd, the performance isn't bad so far. Only half way through though, waiting see this drop off so I can judge for myself.
Big Boi is killin it though, def a stand out so far.

Well, after watching the whole set, Andre seems to slack a little when it comes his turn to do a few solo songs. He never really got it back and at the end its just awkward between the Ms. Jackson cutoff and running out of time. You can tell he's been off the stage for awhile and if it wasnt for Big Boi and his energy it would of been way worse. All in all though not bad and I also hope they switch up that setlist often instead of sticking with the same ol' songs.
I dont know if the crowd was just bad, or the audio on youtube didnt showcase the audience sound. Also, I wouldnt be surprised if half those in attendance just went to Outkast to say they saw Outkast and didnt know any lyrics.
Here's my take. Choosing a huge music festival as your first show in a decade was a mistake. Outkast should have a done a small show or two in a smaller venue.

This is what The Refused did when they did their reunion. They signed up for Coachella and a bunch of US dates, but first, they played several small club shows around Sweden.

You're not seriously complaining are you? I watched parts of Outkast last night from my phone over 3G. Live. For FREE. I'm amazed they don't charge for the stream. Phish charges like $40 for a 3 day stream of them playing. I'd gladly pay $50 for a weekend stream of Coachella. And it would certainly not glitch. But I would have paid $50...... with Coachella consistently selling out they certainly could charge is all I mean.
You're just too young to grasp how stylin' I really was. All the boys wanted to do me when I was 5. Actually the girls did too. My haircut was confusing.

PS: Ditto on Girl Talk
I'm not complaining in a sense that I was angry. I was legitimately asking if anyone has had any issues or I it was just me. If it's just me it just means I need to do something about my internet connection. I greatly appreciate the free stream every year, as we all do. But I would never pay for a concert stream unless I got to download it and keep it. Only because I generally watch some live then watch the replay later or something because I have other shit going on and can't just sit in front of my computer all weekend long.
And yes. Girl Talk was amazing. Probably my favorite of the 4 shows I watched this morning (Ellie Goulding, Broken Bells, Girl Talk, & Outkast)
