"I'm sorry, but they actually cut us off," Andre 3000 said to the crowd. "I really appreciate you all coming out. I know it's kind of weird, 20 years later and shit. Thank you for coming out."
Below, some reactions from Outkast's Coachella performance. More on the set can be found here.
I really don't know what to make of what I just saw. Shit was fire for like an hour and then got really weird.
— Craig Jenkins (@CraigSJ) April 12, 2014Carve out them solo sets, fix the tech issues, tighten up the setlist, and everybody can get theirs. But as is that shit was low key messy.
— Craig Jenkins (@CraigSJ) April 12, 2014They should've snuck some shows in before this somewhere though. You don't shake off that many years of rust headlining Coachella.
— Craig Jenkins (@CraigSJ) April 12, 2014The crowd was rocking out to the other DJ's and artists, it was madness. What makes them so low-energy with @Outkast? #Coachella2014
— REVOLT TV (@RevoltTV) April 12, 2014You can’t play that big stage with no production and bad sound. That’s why the crowd wasn’t reacting - not about knowing the catalog.
— DJ Anti-Tweeze (@atrak) April 12, 2014After tonight, Dre canceling half of them. RT @itsthereal: Silver lining: they have 4000 more performances this summer to get it right.
— Dynamics • £ (@theDYNAMICS) April 12, 2014Meh, the show was solid, the ending was terrible that’s all. Hopefully they clean it up because they were jamming.
— Dynamics • £ (@theDYNAMICS) April 12, 2014lessons to be learned tonight (all said in love/constructive advice) 1. give each song a 5 min slot, i.e. if 90 mins? plan 18 songs
— Questlove Jenkins (@questlove) April 12, 2014more lessons 2. plan show BACKWARDS---to avoid cutoff debacles plan what ABSOLUTE last song must be, work way to the top.
— Questlove Jenkins (@questlove) April 12, 2014and more 3.plan a 4 suite attack system: a) opening grab you by neck 4 b) your old school nostalgia 4 c) deep cut/artistic portion 4 (cont)
— Questlove Jenkins (@questlove) April 12, 2014oh last point!---last 4 joints= breathless race to finish (extra 2 for encore)--keep in mind its been 10 yrs for Kast and this is show 1
— Questlove Jenkins (@questlove) April 12, 2014lot of mixed feelings about the show. its gonna take time for chemistry and rhythm and tech issues to gel. best part of the night tho?
— Questlove Jenkins (@questlove) April 12, 2014best part? is Outkast has us up and 4:40 in the morning discussing hip hop. which is incredible. can't wait til show hits east coast.
