Coachella has some great line-ups, however, all the bands that play there have already come through town in much smaller, intimate venues. I dislike outdoor events, so I'd rather go see the bands play a full set in pleasant air conditioned places.
The last time I went to Coachella (2001, I think), I got sunburnt (and seeing Iggy Pop in daylight is just wrong) even though I wore factor 50 and a hat. Water from outside was not allowed in, and it's a desert. Instead they extorted unreasonable amounts for bottled water. They might've changed policies since then, but I can't forget what a shitty time I had there stuck out there in the desert.
I didn't have to pay for admission because of old work contacts in the music industry, but it was such a horrible experience that I vowed never to go again even if The Smiths reformed were headlining. Of course, I don't have to worry about a Smiths reunion, but I might sweat over missing Morrissey's second time at Coachella. I'd probably have to work that night anyway. Whatever happens, I won't be sorry to miss the shitty traffic nor all of that filthy hippy crap associated with outdoor fests.
Seeing Morrissey at the very first Coachella fest was alright. It's kind of a blur (130+ Moz gig vet here). It wasn't that memorable of a gig for that tour (1999-2000). I watched that Coachella DVD, and it seemed to bear very little relation to how I experienced that show. My major regret from that show was that both my friend and I had been pickpocketed during Morrissey's set. I lost several hundred in cash because some people had paid me cash at the gate, and I didn't expect to carry around that much cash. It was worse for my friend because he lost his out-of-state ID plus his entire wallet, and he had to get on a plane to go home the next day. No one turned in either of our wallets, and I kept checking for weeks after that fest.
I'd hold out to see Moz play an intimate venue far away from Hell A or any major metropolitan center. The best shows are in the little provincial towns that you jog round. Killarney comes to mind and stands out as one of the best shows in 2006. Moz danced an Oirish jig prior to Trubble (lervs me)!! Alas, he has never repeated that feat for any extended amount of time since then.
