Concert Review: Coachella - Day Three - 4/27/08 - Page 4

After a break, they began Dark Side of the Moon. The opening drums into “Time” was slightly different from the album, which was nice to be surprised by. After “Money,” some people started to leave. Apparently they were just there for the album’s hits. The encore was comprised of songs from The Wall: “Happiest Days of Our Lives,” “Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2,” “Vera Lynn,” “Bring the Boys Back Home” and “Comfortably Numb,” the latter of which featured violinist Lili Haydn playing David Gilmour parts. The show ended with a spectacular fireworks display.

Coachella 2008 was an amazing three days of music. Wish I could have seen more, although all I did take in nearly destroyed me. My legs and feet were aching by the end like I couldn’t remember ever. I tried squatting during Roger Waters and both my knees almost gave out. I finally told Todd I needed to move back and sit down. He was glad I did because his ankles were bothering him, but since I was on Day Three he didn’t want to say anything for fear of looking weak. Forty can't be the new thirty because thirty never felt like this. I am worried Bonnaroo might kill me.
