Nice little cdnow article. "Beck, Morrissey Are Day One's Main Attraction At Coachella". Nice to know we are appreciated.

Excerpt:

...More than three dozen alternative and electronic acts took part in Coachella, but judging by every other conversation and T-shirt, Morrissey was Day One's main attraction. The rumored reunion with former Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr didn't pan out. Yet his rabid contingent still found plenty to savor in an impressive and unusual set that ranged from album tracks to Smiths nuggets.

Among the highlights were a fierce "Meat is Murder," led by Boz Boorer's echo-laden guitarwork; Morrissey's added vocal flourishes on "Hairdresser on Fire"; his highly dramatic gestures during "November Spawned a Monster" and a charged-up, rollicking "Is It Really So Strange?"

Unfortunately, the annoying ritual where fans clamor onstage to touch or hug Morrissey continued. Five of them (mostly male) succeeded and one idiot almost strangled the singer before getting hauled away by security. Morrissey capped things off with an enthralling "Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me."
