Video of Daft Punk @ Coachella
For the MS.com year end recap we didn't do a Best Shows of 2006. The ranking of albums was painful enough and the thought of comparing snapshots of bands in the live setting that one of us happened to check out doesn't seem fair, or all that helpful. My cynical nature overwhelms any informative tidbits those kinds of lists may have by filling me with thoughts of blowhardness towards the author. They sorta reek of show offy-ness. Way too many variables outside the control of the musicians exist to provide fairness to such a ludicrous list, at least that’s my thought on the subject.
However, I fully understand the drawing power that nicely put together lists have on the reading public so I won't dwell on this further. If you disagree with me that is fine. I suggest immediately subscribing to SPIN as they are fond of lists. They suck pretty bad but for $10 a year you get what you pay for. We're still not going to publish one, but if I was asked, say on the street by a stranger, or a friend at a party who just found out I write for a music blog what my favorite show of 2006 was I would not hesitate in answering: Daft Punk's performance at Coachella.
You could read all about why I thought so in my review here. Then head to Urb's website to see the entire video of the performance culled from expertly edited clips of concertgoers video footage. Pretty excellent way to get my morning started (via BV).
