My Bloody Valentine was spectacular

but it took people a little while to warm up to them (they were on the main Coachella stage before The Cure).

Unlike the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, there was plenty of room to find a seat (at least according to people who sat near me) but I didn't mind because I was able to see them from up close.

Guitarists and singers Kevin Shields and Bilinda Butcher were both tremendous, as was the whole band, but hard to hear above the fabulously loud music 

It was, at least to me, ironic when I walked to Public Enemy and their first song was "Bring the Noise" because My Bloody Valentine is the definition of that.

The group actually made some people in the audience put their hands over their ears on their last song where they thrashed along continuously for more than 10 minutes
