Would of loved to have seen Algiers on the webcast.
I have limited time to watch this weekend with Jazz Fest, but does Coachella not stream different sets on the second weekend (at least the under and mid cards)? Thanks.

I'm not aware of any streaming this weekend.
Gotcha. Thanks. Weekend 1 was a pretty solid weekend of Couching it for sure.
That's really cool. We double-TV streamed all weekend (PS4 & Xbox) so I wouldn't have had those 360 view/sound options unless I launched just the YouTube streams from either of the console's browsers, but glad to hear they will be streaming the 2nd weekend again. Hopefully there will be some cool sets they didn't show this weekend for any time I have at the house. Boys are going to Full Moon, so between the fest and night shows and also the replays in the mornings, I'd like to get some more sets in.
As an aside: with this type of 360 degree technology available for streaming, imagine what happens in 2-3 years as that all gets integrated with VR. I know the PS4 VR is supposed to have 3D Audio/real life sound (advertised as if someone is walking 12 feet away from you, that's the sound perception that gets presented to you in VR). And you can look up, down sideways, etc. to get immersed in whatever game you're playing. As the technology grabs hold, I could see myself turning into a couch nerd and just putting on the helmet and speakers for any live concert streams I want. If the world responds to the first generation devices (PS4 VR, Oculus Rift), the world of virtual concerts is going to be nuts as the technology advances.

Wow; I never even thought of using those devices for concerts...that could be ridiculously awesome.
Yeah, I did a bunch of research on it back in March watching and reading everything I could. I don't much play games (outside of old shit like Doom or Duke Nukem Forever), but the immersion factor is insane. There is this crazy video on YouTube (think it was Oculus) where you're on this swing that's 40 or 50 stories in the air. Everyone is squirming while virtually riding, and eventually the swing breaks and pieces appear to fall on your head as you basically plummet to your almost death. It freaked me out watching, so the technology will be tricking brains.
The key thing is that PlayStation (who will handily win the first generation war of home VR) has said they have many other plans for the system than just gaming. Some of us were sitting around at home thinking about what other uses there would be. We came up with virtual extreme sports (e.g. sky suits, hang gliding and stuff), virtual tours of destination places (Hawaii Flyovers, other islands, mountain ranges, cities, etc.) so you could see what type of packages you'd want; virtual tours of things like cruise ships; real estate (visit a house without having to go there to see if it fits the bill); concerts/festivals; sex (an obvious one); etc.
I think the biggest question is the one confounding the gaming experts - is it a novelty item that will never take off or die off in a year or two, or will the immersion factor be so ridiculous, that it represents the future? I don't know. I do know that it's quasi-confirmed that PlayStation will be offering a PS 4.5 which will apparently have the processing power for 4k TV's. If I can find the video of that swing ride, I'll post it. Even though it has nothing to do with Coachella, the idea they'll be streaming in 360 degrees shows the potential of how sucked in our minds can get.
Here you go. This is my favorite one. 3 or 4 people shown in segments as they freak. About 1:20, the swing breaks in some type of virtual sound and people start dodging falling pieces of steel crashing into their heads. Applying this to live streaming concerts should be able to transport any of us right into the middle of a great concert. Again, 2016 is only the opening salvo in home VR. But if it takes off, the technology will be so far off the hook that a virtual concert experience will be real life.
Video is 4 minutes. If you can access, definitely check out that 1:20 mark. Haha.
I'll post some more thoughts later and maybe try and pin down a top 5. Just wanted to say that Despacio was amazing. Spend some time in there when you can. Just incredible sound and setup.

Looks like our serotonin and dopamine receptors are fucked.
I could understand skipping for Underworld or something. But Disclosure? I'm sure the shows's fun, but they tour all the time. Not so for Koze unless you're in NYC.
One of my biggest festival regrets was leaving Darkside for Disclosure at Moogfest. Disclosure was good and Jessie Ware came out, but still.
Funny you say that. The first time I saw Darkside was in Austin and Disclosure had a show that night too. I entertained the thought, ever so briefly, to go to Disclosure instead. I had just discovered Darkside a few weeks before, so their majesty hadn't fully sunk into my brain at that point.
When I walked out of the venue that night, there was ZERO doubt I made the right decision. Darkside did something to my brain that night...
