0
00:00:12,479 --> 00:00:13,713
We begin this
half an hour
1
00:00:13,813 --> 00:00:16,182
with one of the hottest
scenes in music,
2
00:00:16,282 --> 00:00:19,786
thousands of people coming out for
the Coachella Music Festival.
3
00:00:19,886 --> 00:00:21,554
As far as the lineup goes,
4
00:00:21,654 --> 00:00:23,523
it will include artists
like Beyoncé,
5
00:00:23,623 --> 00:00:26,059
The Weekend,
and Post Malone.
6
00:00:26,159 --> 00:00:29,195
Coachella has the tradition of
having classic performers.
7
00:00:29,295 --> 00:00:32,232
Madonna's been there, Paul McCartney
played Coachella.
8
00:00:32,332 --> 00:00:33,733
WOSome of the biggest names in music,
9
00:00:33,833 --> 00:00:35,802
of course, uh, Radiohead,
the Black Keys.
10
00:00:35,902 --> 00:00:37,737
Many, many, many others.
11
00:00:37,837 --> 00:00:40,707
Billie, Billie, Billie...
12
00:00:40,807 --> 00:00:43,243
I was very nervous about it.
13
00:00:43,343 --> 00:00:46,679
which I've never felt,
ever, from a show.
14
00:00:46,779 --> 00:00:48,648
And I was trying to think
about why I was,
15
00:00:48,748 --> 00:00:50,683
and I was, like, because it's a big
deal, Billie, that's why.
16
00:00:52,551 --> 00:00:54,788
Everybody knows
what Coachella is.
17
00:00:54,888 --> 00:00:57,123
Even if you don't care about
music, you know.
18
00:00:57,223 --> 00:00:58,625
The Coachella Valley Music
and Arts Festival
19
00:00:58,725 --> 00:01:00,193
wrapped up yesterday.
20
00:01:00,293 --> 00:01:03,063
It's a huge concert, goes
over two weekends.
21
00:01:03,163 --> 00:01:05,298
A right of passage
for any Millennial
22
00:01:05,398 --> 00:01:07,200
is attending Coachella.
23
00:01:07,300 --> 00:01:10,170
This is not a rock concert.
This is not Coachella.
24
00:01:11,370 --> 00:01:14,240
RK for the chaos,
Coachella!
25
00:01:18,211 --> 00:01:19,345
We'd like to make
an announcement
26
00:01:19,445 --> 00:01:20,780
that we just booked
another show.
27
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:24,150
We will be doing Sunday
Service at Coachella.
28
00:01:28,821 --> 00:01:31,391
The biggest artists in the
world do Coachella,
29
00:01:31,491 --> 00:01:32,759
so, you know,
the pressure's there
30
00:01:32,859 --> 00:01:34,494
to bring it.
31
00:01:34,594 --> 00:01:37,363
You cannot escape it, and
it became Beychella.
32
00:01:37,463 --> 00:01:39,632
Beyoncé took it over
this weekend.
33
00:01:41,801 --> 00:01:44,704
More people talkin' about
your performance.
34
00:01:44,804 --> 00:01:47,273
You know, you open up the
paper the next day,
35
00:01:47,373 --> 00:01:49,409
see 'em talkin' about
what you did,
36
00:01:49,509 --> 00:01:53,213
not what three acts
before you did.
37
00:01:53,313 --> 00:01:56,583
This morning, the most talked about
concert on the planet
38
00:01:56,683 --> 00:02:00,887
was a weekend performance from someone
who's been dead for 15 years.
39
00:02:00,987 --> 00:02:03,189
Make some noise for Tupac!
40
00:02:05,625 --> 00:02:08,294
You're gonna be judged, man,
41
00:02:08,394 --> 00:02:11,531
when you hit Coachella's stage.
42
00:02:11,631 --> 00:02:14,334
And it's gonna be talked about
for the rest of the year.
43
00:02:14,434 --> 00:02:18,138
So you better get
your shit right.
44
00:02:19,672 --> 00:02:22,842
Make some noise
for Post Malone!
45
00:02:26,279 --> 00:02:27,514
Coming from my world,
46
00:02:27,614 --> 00:02:30,550
they've always been extremely
welcoming.
47
00:02:30,650 --> 00:02:32,519
I think the programming's
always been
48
00:02:32,619 --> 00:02:34,554
extremely progressive.
49
00:02:34,654 --> 00:02:37,790
They put everything on
from Rock or Hip Hop
50
00:02:37,890 --> 00:02:40,560
to electronic music.
51
00:02:40,660 --> 00:02:45,198
Coachella has been able to
facilitate a space for
52
00:02:45,298 --> 00:02:48,168
all of these styles of
music to exist.
53
00:02:48,268 --> 00:02:50,770
You know where you are?
54
00:02:50,870 --> 00:02:53,373
You in the jungle,
Coachella!
55
00:02:59,745 --> 00:03:00,947
I played '99.
56
00:03:01,047 --> 00:03:03,449
1999, which I think was
the first Coachella.
57
00:03:05,484 --> 00:03:08,955
I remember Paul Tollett, who
was one of the guys who
started Coachella,
58
00:03:09,055 --> 00:03:11,758
told me he had this idea
of starting a festival
59
00:03:11,858 --> 00:03:13,293
in the middle of the desert.
60
00:03:15,828 --> 00:03:18,531
And it seemed like
a remarkable idea,
61
00:03:18,631 --> 00:03:20,533
but I didn't expect it
to actually work.
62
00:04:05,311 --> 00:04:07,313
Coachella, y'all ready?
63
00:04:14,787 --> 00:04:17,290
Tell everybody
where we are.
64
00:04:17,390 --> 00:04:18,925
We are at
the Empire Polo Club
65
00:04:19,025 --> 00:04:20,493
in Indio, California.
66
00:04:20,593 --> 00:04:23,796
Okay, now, this polo club
67
00:04:23,896 --> 00:04:26,833
is where it all happens,
right here.
68
00:04:26,933 --> 00:04:31,704
That's where the main stage
would be, right there.
69
00:04:31,804 --> 00:04:36,376
This whole area
was just teeming
70
00:04:36,476 --> 00:04:37,977
-with people.
-Yes.
71
00:04:38,077 --> 00:04:40,647
It's hard to believe it.
72
00:04:40,747 --> 00:04:43,549
Some people see Coachella
now and they think,
73
00:04:43,649 --> 00:04:44,917
oh, that's a no-brainer.
74
00:04:45,017 --> 00:04:46,586
Coachella's beautiful, right?
75
00:04:46,686 --> 00:04:49,489
It's a beautiful venue.
It's easy.
76
00:04:49,589 --> 00:04:51,057
It was difficult.
77
00:04:51,157 --> 00:04:53,793
I took the concert promoter,
Goldenvoice,
78
00:04:53,893 --> 00:04:55,928
several years
to make it happen.
79
00:04:56,028 --> 00:04:59,499
And if it wasn't for Goldenvoice's
roots,
80
00:04:59,599 --> 00:05:02,869
I don't think that Coachella
would be what it is today.
81
00:05:17,916 --> 00:05:22,388
Ladies and gentlemen...
82
00:05:22,488 --> 00:05:24,857
"I Fought the Law and I Won."
83
00:05:28,027 --> 00:05:30,963
Drinkin' beer
in the hot sun
84
00:05:31,063 --> 00:05:34,067
I fought the law
and I won
85
00:05:34,167 --> 00:05:37,970
I fought the law
and I won
86
00:05:38,070 --> 00:05:39,706
Everything that Coachella is
87
00:05:39,806 --> 00:05:43,076
is rooted in the early
days of Goldenvoice.
88
00:05:43,176 --> 00:05:45,545
and the punk rock shows
that Gary Tovar did.
89
00:05:45,645 --> 00:05:47,480
Hey, Gary!
90
00:05:47,580 --> 00:05:50,616
This is Gary Tovar, a great promoter
of the punk scene.
91
00:05:50,716 --> 00:05:52,618
Do you have something to say?
92
00:05:52,718 --> 00:05:56,723
Oh, well, I hope this venue
survives tonight.
93
00:05:56,823 --> 00:05:58,825
When I started doing concerts,
94
00:05:58,925 --> 00:06:00,827
the punk rock that I did,
95
00:06:00,927 --> 00:06:03,129
it was too wild
for a lot of people.
96
00:06:03,229 --> 00:06:06,666
They couldn't handle it.
97
00:06:09,035 --> 00:06:11,904
Punk's roots began in England
in the 1970's,
98
00:06:12,004 --> 00:06:14,107
appealing to a group of
lower income teens
99
00:06:14,207 --> 00:06:16,876
who were out of work
and out of hope.
100
00:06:16,976 --> 00:06:20,613
Now, a new wave of punk is coming
to the affluent middle class,
101
00:06:20,713 --> 00:06:23,449
and that trend is beginning
here in Hollywood.
102
00:06:30,222 --> 00:06:32,625
It was the time
when it was dangerous
103
00:06:32,725 --> 00:06:34,160
to book events like that.
104
00:06:34,260 --> 00:06:37,964
They would break up the place,
there'd be fights.
105
00:06:38,064 --> 00:06:39,866
I didn't like violence,
106
00:06:39,966 --> 00:06:43,035
but there was a lot of violence
in the '80s,
107
00:06:43,135 --> 00:06:45,171
and a lot of slam dancing,
108
00:06:45,271 --> 00:06:48,007
and a lot of stage diving.
109
00:06:48,107 --> 00:06:51,778
You had to have a certain commitment
to the music and the scene
110
00:06:51,878 --> 00:06:53,579
to be involved,
111
00:06:53,679 --> 00:06:57,417
and Gary Tovar, you know, he had
resources and interest,
112
00:06:57,517 --> 00:07:01,854
and a passion for it, and became a
folk hero of the punk scene.
113
00:07:01,954 --> 00:07:04,490
I think
the music speaks for itself,
114
00:07:04,590 --> 00:07:08,428
and, um, I don't take anything
to the point of where
115
00:07:08,528 --> 00:07:09,962
I'm going to be judgmental.
116
00:07:10,062 --> 00:07:12,098
And I don't think anybody
else should, either.
117
00:07:32,284 --> 00:07:33,619
My brother Perry and I
118
00:07:33,719 --> 00:07:35,888
were promoting SKA shows
in Pomona
119
00:07:35,988 --> 00:07:38,524
at small halls, pizza places,
things like that,
120
00:07:38,624 --> 00:07:40,626
and we'd heard that Goldenvoice
was gonna
121
00:07:40,726 --> 00:07:42,195
start doing shows in Pomona.
122
00:07:42,295 --> 00:07:45,097
So we drove down to Long Beach
to tell them, you know,
123
00:07:45,197 --> 00:07:47,800
stay out of here, you know, give
'em a piece of our mind.
124
00:07:47,900 --> 00:07:52,672
So they came over thinking, oh,
this guy's a big promoter,
125
00:07:52,772 --> 00:07:56,943
he's coming to take over Pomona,
or somewhat, right?
126
00:07:57,043 --> 00:08:00,513
But we met Gary, and he
was just the coolest.
127
00:08:00,613 --> 00:08:01,814
We hit if off instantly.
128
00:08:01,914 --> 00:08:03,783
We talked all night,
and he gave me
129
00:08:03,883 --> 00:08:05,651
a box of fliers that
night to pass out.
130
00:08:05,751 --> 00:08:08,154
and that was the first day
I worked at Goldenvoice.
131
00:08:11,157 --> 00:08:15,228
You know, the punk scene really
changed by '87 or '88.
132
00:08:15,328 --> 00:08:17,763
It kind of had waned off.
133
00:08:17,863 --> 00:08:20,766
Then there was acts like Jane's
Addiction, Fishbone,
134
00:08:20,866 --> 00:08:22,235
Chili Peppers,
135
00:08:22,335 --> 00:08:25,505
really helped Goldenvoice
still remain relevant.
136
00:08:37,082 --> 00:08:38,951
Back in those days,
137
00:08:39,051 --> 00:08:44,090
Los Angeles was the epicenter for
young, up and coming music.
138
00:08:44,190 --> 00:08:48,060
People would go out to see groups
that weren't even signed.
139
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,130
Jane says
140
00:08:51,230 --> 00:08:55,601
I'm done with Sergio
141
00:08:55,701 --> 00:08:59,772
He treats me
like a rag doll
142
00:08:59,872 --> 00:09:01,040
She hides...
143
00:09:01,140 --> 00:09:02,174
Jane's Addiction,
144
00:09:02,274 --> 00:09:03,876
when we were coming up,
145
00:09:03,976 --> 00:09:07,580
we started in the underbelly
of Los Angeles.
146
00:09:07,680 --> 00:09:09,315
And I would go to Goldenvoice
and I'd say,
147
00:09:09,415 --> 00:09:13,219
"Look, fellas, I want to work with
you guys as promoters."
148
00:09:13,319 --> 00:09:17,823
They were, first and foremost,
fans themselves.
149
00:09:17,923 --> 00:09:20,960
Our offices were upstairs at
the Hollywood Palladium.
150
00:09:21,060 --> 00:09:23,162
It was literally
just five people...
151
00:09:23,262 --> 00:09:26,966
booking shows, a all
my favorite bands,
152
00:09:27,066 --> 00:09:28,301
getting to watch
the sound check
153
00:09:28,401 --> 00:09:30,570
for any bands playing
at the Palladium.
154
00:09:30,670 --> 00:09:32,672
It was, like,
the dream job.
155
00:09:32,772 --> 00:09:35,074
Goldenvoice was in a
prime position to
156
00:09:35,174 --> 00:09:38,344
seize that
alternative rock scene
157
00:09:38,444 --> 00:09:42,048
where the big promoter in town
was clueless of it.
158
00:09:42,148 --> 00:09:45,117
You know, they were still booking
Janet Jacksons or something.
159
00:09:45,217 --> 00:09:48,154
And that really helped fuel
the growth of Goldenvoice
160
00:09:48,254 --> 00:09:51,290
from a small punk promoter
into a real player.
161
00:10:06,938 --> 00:10:08,941
In the early '90s, we were
doing all these bands,
162
00:10:09,041 --> 00:10:10,610
you know, Nirvana
and Chili Peppers,
163
00:10:10,710 --> 00:10:12,778
and it looked like we
were doing great,
164
00:10:12,878 --> 00:10:16,616
but we were really struggling
financially.
165
00:10:16,716 --> 00:10:18,184
These shows weren't
making money,
166
00:10:18,284 --> 00:10:20,353
but, uh, Gary had a business
on the side
167
00:10:20,453 --> 00:10:22,655
selling weed.
168
00:10:22,755 --> 00:10:25,358
I involved myself with
a group of people,
169
00:10:25,458 --> 00:10:29,095
we were all marijuana smokers
and surfers at the beach.
170
00:10:29,195 --> 00:10:31,897
We didn't want to just go get
marijuana from the border,
171
00:10:31,997 --> 00:10:33,733
which was terrible.
172
00:10:33,833 --> 00:10:37,703
We wanted to bring the
highest quality,
173
00:10:37,803 --> 00:10:39,772
and it came from the other
side of the world,
174
00:10:39,872 --> 00:10:42,108
so that's what I did.
175
00:10:43,241 --> 00:10:46,379
It was the "Just Say No"
period.
176
00:10:46,479 --> 00:10:47,947
Last year alone,
177
00:10:48,047 --> 00:10:51,083
over 10,000 drug criminals
were convicted,
178
00:10:51,183 --> 00:10:55,855
and nearly $250 million of
their assets were seized
179
00:10:55,955 --> 00:10:57,356
by the DEA.
180
00:10:57,456 --> 00:10:58,758
The federal government
181
00:10:58,858 --> 00:11:01,394
investigated me for
four years.
182
00:11:01,494 --> 00:11:03,029
And then things
started happening
183
00:11:03,129 --> 00:11:05,898
and I knew I was gonna
get an indictment.
184
00:11:05,998 --> 00:11:07,967
In March of '91,
he got arrested,
185
00:11:08,067 --> 00:11:10,803
and from then on, he was
out of the business.
186
00:11:12,904 --> 00:11:14,740
We bought the company
from Gary,
187
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,910
and didn't use the Goldenvoice
name for a while.
188
00:11:18,010 --> 00:11:19,745
Thought maybe
the cops would call us,
189
00:11:19,845 --> 00:11:21,881
but they never did.
190
00:11:21,981 --> 00:11:23,883
After I went away,
191
00:11:23,983 --> 00:11:28,187
all I hoped was they could
keep it going.
192
00:11:28,287 --> 00:11:29,922
And they did.
193
00:11:32,057 --> 00:11:35,761
Next week, Congress is going to hold
hearings on ticket pricing.
194
00:11:35,861 --> 00:11:38,864
The hearings come at a time when
the nation's top rock band
195
00:11:38,964 --> 00:11:41,801
is accusing the biggest ticket
distributor in the business
196
00:11:41,901 --> 00:11:44,303
of unfair practices and
price gouging.
197
00:11:44,403 --> 00:11:47,239
Ticketmaster refused
to reduce its fees
198
00:11:47,339 --> 00:11:49,208
low enough to suit Peal Jam.
199
00:11:49,308 --> 00:11:51,243
The band cancelled its tour.
200
00:11:51,343 --> 00:11:54,380
Our main concern is are we entitled
to use a different company
201
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:56,215
other than Ticketmaster,
and right now,
202
00:11:56,315 --> 00:11:58,250
so far we haven't been
able to, you know,
203
00:11:58,350 --> 00:12:00,186
find an alternative
that's viable.
204
00:12:01,987 --> 00:12:03,255
Ticketmaster had a lock
205
00:12:03,355 --> 00:12:05,391
on all the largest venues
in southern California
206
00:12:05,491 --> 00:12:07,960
to be able to perform at.
207
00:12:08,060 --> 00:12:09,762
And I think Pearl Jam
approached Paul
208
00:12:09,862 --> 00:12:11,330
and said something like,
209
00:12:11,430 --> 00:12:14,300
you guys can land the gig if
you can put us in a place
210
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,069
that isn't
a Ticketmaster venue.
211
00:12:17,169 --> 00:12:19,338
So Pearl Jam was gonna
skip Los Angeles,
212
00:12:19,438 --> 00:12:22,808
and we talked them into
maybe Palm Springs.
213
00:12:22,908 --> 00:12:24,243
And so we drove up to
Palm Springs,
214
00:12:24,343 --> 00:12:26,212
couldn't find anyplace,
215
00:12:26,312 --> 00:12:29,882
but someone told us there's a
polo field out in Indio.
216
00:12:29,982 --> 00:12:32,151
It was even further.
217
00:12:32,251 --> 00:12:35,254
We were just, like,
first off, where
218
00:12:35,354 --> 00:12:38,190
Indio, California, and what
are you talkin' about?
219
00:12:38,290 --> 00:12:40,860
And we've gotta drive east
and not west to a show?
220
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,796
We drove out to Indio.
It really felt far.
221
00:12:43,896 --> 00:12:46,098
You know,
farther than it does now.
222
00:12:46,198 --> 00:12:48,334
So how was the drive?
223
00:12:50,936 --> 00:12:52,071
We put it on sale,
224
00:12:52,171 --> 00:12:55,274
and sold, I think,
25,000 tickets.
225
00:12:55,374 --> 00:12:57,409
It was super low budget,
226
00:12:57,509 --> 00:12:59,779
just a stage in the middle
of the field,
227
00:12:59,879 --> 00:13:01,514
but it was still special.
228
00:13:04,283 --> 00:13:06,952
Of course, the lure of
that whole show
229
00:13:07,052 --> 00:13:11,257
was that there was this phenomenon
of shoes coming on stage.
230
00:13:11,357 --> 00:13:14,293
I mean, 100 pairs of shoes
at least,
231
00:13:14,393 --> 00:13:16,228
and one of them hit Eddie
Vedder in the head.
232
00:13:19,097 --> 00:13:22,101
So the band went behind the thing and
played behind their equipment,
233
00:13:22,201 --> 00:13:23,803
and came back out.
234
00:13:23,903 --> 00:13:27,940
Me and Jeff are gonna go
to the front gate...
235
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,009
and when you guys exit,
236
00:13:30,109 --> 00:13:32,812
we're gonna beat the shit out of
every barefoot person here.
237
00:13:36,915 --> 00:13:39,351
In the 90s, the bands
we were close to,
238
00:13:39,451 --> 00:13:42,188
Pearl Jam, Nirvana
and Chili Peppers,
239
00:13:42,288 --> 00:13:44,190
the started to explode.
240
00:13:44,290 --> 00:13:46,292
But they grew too fast.
241
00:13:46,392 --> 00:13:48,227
We couldn't afford, really,
to do the
242
00:13:48,327 --> 00:13:49,995
the arenas where
they could sell out.
243
00:13:50,095 --> 00:13:52,965
So I started paying attention
to the rave scene
244
00:13:53,065 --> 00:13:54,567
as it was starting
to bubble up.
245
00:13:54,667 --> 00:13:56,602
Rave is a British import
246
00:13:56,702 --> 00:13:59,171
that caught on here within
the last two years.
247
00:13:59,271 --> 00:14:03,542
A typical rave party usually takes place
in an abandoned warehouse.
248
00:14:05,544 --> 00:14:07,413
This very
rapidly changing subculture
249
00:14:07,513 --> 00:14:10,983
even has its own voice in the form of
a monthly magazine publication
250
00:14:11,083 --> 00:14:12,351
known as URB.
251
00:14:12,451 --> 00:14:14,587
Raymond Roker, editor
of URB magazine,
252
00:14:14,687 --> 00:14:16,455
explains his views
on the strengths
253
00:14:16,555 --> 00:14:18,591
and progressions
of rave culture.
254
00:14:18,691 --> 00:14:21,594
Well, I mean, I I started
just going to clubs
255
00:14:21,694 --> 00:14:23,295
like, you know,
everybody else did,
256
00:14:23,395 --> 00:14:25,531
uh, the clubs that just
started to break off
257
00:14:25,631 --> 00:14:27,299
the mainstream,
you know, path.
258
00:14:33,538 --> 00:14:35,975
RAYMOND Early '90s was a really
interesting time.
259
00:14:36,075 --> 00:14:38,010
You had underground music,
260
00:14:38,110 --> 00:14:40,980
you had, uh, underground
club culture,
261
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,083
and also this electronic sound.
262
00:14:44,183 --> 00:14:46,185
I'd been hanging out a lot
with Raymond Roker,
263
00:14:46,285 --> 00:14:48,354
and I just loved his
magazine so much.
264
00:14:48,454 --> 00:14:52,191
Every issue was just jammed pack full
of things I'd never heard of.
265
00:14:52,291 --> 00:14:53,392
It was just mind blowing.
266
00:14:58,596 --> 00:15:01,433
Like punk rock, the rave scene
had its own world.
267
00:15:01,533 --> 00:15:05,037
And it was just so different than
everything that we were doing.
268
00:15:09,341 --> 00:15:11,143
You know, I don't know how many
events he got involved with,
269
00:15:11,243 --> 00:15:12,645
but he invested in some.
270
00:15:12,745 --> 00:15:14,513
He invested in Organic, which
was like, you know,
271
00:15:14,613 --> 00:15:18,317
this incredible outdoor electronic
music concert.
272
00:15:20,419 --> 00:15:23,689
Here we are in the lovely
Snow Valley ski resort,
273
00:15:23,789 --> 00:15:25,357
and we're not going to ski.
274
00:15:25,457 --> 00:15:27,459
We're here for
the biggest rave event
275
00:15:27,559 --> 00:15:31,030
that's ever taken place in
the northern hemisphere.
276
00:15:31,130 --> 00:15:32,531
This is truly the first,
277
00:15:32,631 --> 00:15:35,000
you know, all night
festival or rave
278
00:15:35,100 --> 00:15:37,236
that is similar to what
happens in the U.K.,
279
00:15:37,336 --> 00:15:40,706
and they haven't really had
that here in Los Angeles.
280
00:15:40,806 --> 00:15:43,609
Organic was different than
any of the other raves.
281
00:15:43,709 --> 00:15:46,045
This was almost like bands
282
00:15:46,145 --> 00:15:49,014
Chemical Brothers,
Orb, Orbital.
283
00:15:49,114 --> 00:15:51,383
I remember hearing Rez
from Underworld
284
00:15:51,483 --> 00:15:52,685
about 6:00 a.m.
in the morning.
285
00:15:52,785 --> 00:15:55,020
It was just a feeling
I never had.
286
00:15:59,825 --> 00:16:03,028
All these things are seeds
for the future.
287
00:16:03,128 --> 00:16:04,663
It's like everything
along the way
288
00:16:04,763 --> 00:16:07,132
you pick up these little
tips, you know,
289
00:16:07,232 --> 00:16:09,568
from the early
Goldenvoice days,
290
00:16:09,668 --> 00:16:12,037
and then you see electronic
raves going on,
291
00:16:12,137 --> 00:16:14,206
then you're at Organic
and you thought,
292
00:16:14,306 --> 00:16:16,675
I want to do something that
has a combination of
293
00:16:16,775 --> 00:16:18,444
the rock bands that
we're close to,
294
00:16:18,544 --> 00:16:22,114
and also all these new artists
that are popping up.
295
00:16:22,214 --> 00:16:25,184
so set out to, uh,
put on an event
296
00:16:25,284 --> 00:16:28,087
that married all of this
together.
297
00:16:28,187 --> 00:16:30,356
The Paul at some point
in the summertime
298
00:16:30,456 --> 00:16:33,158
went to all the U.K. festivals
and European festivals,
299
00:16:33,258 --> 00:16:36,261
then came back and I remember sitting
in his office one time
300
00:16:36,361 --> 00:16:39,298
and he was, like, hey, I'm thinking
about starting a music festival
301
00:16:39,398 --> 00:16:41,567
out at that venue we
did Pearl Jam at,
302
00:16:41,667 --> 00:16:43,202
and I'm thinking about calling
it Coachella,
303
00:16:43,302 --> 00:16:44,470
and I remember thinking,
304
00:16:44,570 --> 00:16:47,139
Coachella?
That's an awful name.
305
00:16:48,841 --> 00:16:51,377
I remember Paul
coming up to me,
306
00:16:51,477 --> 00:16:53,679
and he said,
"I got this idea.
307
00:16:53,779 --> 00:16:58,484
"We want to do a big festival
in the desert,
308
00:16:58,584 --> 00:17:01,520
and we want to have all
these bands play."
309
00:17:01,620 --> 00:17:03,689
We talked about all kinds of
stuff, even the name.
310
00:17:03,789 --> 00:17:05,290
He said, "Well, I'm gonna
call it Coachella,"
311
00:17:05,390 --> 00:17:07,159
and I remember arguing
against the name.
312
00:17:07,259 --> 00:17:09,228
I said, "Ah, don't call it Coachella.
That's a terrible idea."
313
00:17:09,328 --> 00:17:10,596
Yeah, mo most people said,
you know,
314
00:17:10,696 --> 00:17:12,331
just don't call it Coachella.
315
00:17:12,431 --> 00:17:15,134
Especially Coachella Valley
Music and Arts Festival.
316
00:17:15,234 --> 00:17:16,769
It's a little clunky.
317
00:17:16,869 --> 00:17:19,038
As far as I knew,
318
00:17:19,138 --> 00:17:22,574
the idea of, like, a European style
festival in the United States
319
00:17:22,674 --> 00:17:25,044
was sort of unprecedented.
320
00:17:25,144 --> 00:17:27,112
So when Paul first started
Coachella,
321
00:17:27,212 --> 00:17:31,083
I thought it was it was really
a little baffling.
322
00:17:31,183 --> 00:17:32,785
In the U.S.,
323
00:17:32,885 --> 00:17:35,754
the concept or the thinking is
that it just doesn't work.
324
00:17:35,854 --> 00:17:39,658
The American public
is not compatible
325
00:17:39,758 --> 00:17:42,227
with gathering in a large
group without
326
00:17:42,327 --> 00:17:43,695
beating the shit out of
each other.
327
00:17:45,430 --> 00:17:46,799
Woodstock '99,
328
00:17:46,899 --> 00:17:49,268
a weekend of rock and roll
in upstate New York
329
00:17:49,368 --> 00:17:52,638
ended with fire and vandalism
late last night.
330
00:17:52,738 --> 00:17:54,740
This is
a very dangerous situation.
331
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:56,341
Everyone is trying to
get out of here.
332
00:17:56,441 --> 00:17:57,443
I think we're going to go.
333
00:18:01,246 --> 00:18:04,116
As the three-day concert
ended Sunday night,
334
00:18:04,216 --> 00:18:06,185
bonfires blazed out of control,
335
00:18:06,285 --> 00:18:08,720
and looters battled police.
336
00:18:08,820 --> 00:18:11,490
We announced Coachella the
Monday after Woodstock
337
00:18:11,590 --> 00:18:13,692
cause it was all pre-prepped,
338
00:18:13,792 --> 00:18:16,361
and it was just
a total disaster.
339
00:18:16,461 --> 00:18:19,565
People laughed, like, why would
you do this right now?
340
00:18:19,665 --> 00:18:21,633
Woodstock is on the news
on CNN,
341
00:18:21,733 --> 00:18:24,736
how terrible everything
was, all the riots.
342
00:18:24,836 --> 00:18:27,639
Trying to sell tickets when everyone
is saying how bad festivals are,
343
00:18:27,739 --> 00:18:29,475
it was pretty much impossible.
344
00:18:32,477 --> 00:18:34,713
The city wanted to cancel it,
and they just thought,
345
00:18:34,813 --> 00:18:36,782
"How can you bring a version
of Woodstock '99
346
00:18:36,882 --> 00:18:38,484
to our desert?"
347
00:18:38,584 --> 00:18:40,385
And we weren't even thinking
it was related.
348
00:18:40,485 --> 00:18:42,654
We had never thought about
Woodstock at the time,
349
00:18:42,754 --> 00:18:45,624
we were just caught up in our
southern California scene.
350
00:18:45,724 --> 00:18:48,560
And in our mind, we wanted to
be in the tradition of
351
00:18:48,660 --> 00:18:50,395
the California festivals.
352
00:18:51,896 --> 00:18:53,732
All the leaves are brown
353
00:18:53,832 --> 00:18:55,734
All the leaves
are brown
354
00:18:55,834 --> 00:18:57,769
We wanted to have the feeling
of Monterey Pop,
355
00:18:57,869 --> 00:19:00,372
Cal Jam, Us Festival,
356
00:19:00,472 --> 00:19:03,742
the whole California
laid back vibe.
357
00:19:03,842 --> 00:19:06,145
The reputation for festivals
at that point was not
358
00:19:06,245 --> 00:19:07,679
was not very good.
359
00:19:07,779 --> 00:19:09,581
It was a dirty experience, it
was a muddy experience,
360
00:19:09,681 --> 00:19:11,683
you had to wear Wellies
up to your knees.
361
00:19:11,783 --> 00:19:13,252
I think Paul was
trying to create
362
00:19:13,352 --> 00:19:14,620
a southern California version.
363
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:16,889
If I was in L.A.
364
00:19:16,989 --> 00:19:19,591
California dreamin'
365
00:19:19,691 --> 00:19:23,162
Some European festivals have
this amazing energy,
366
00:19:23,262 --> 00:19:25,397
but a lot of times they're
really cold,
367
00:19:25,497 --> 00:19:27,166
they're really muddy,
368
00:19:27,266 --> 00:19:28,901
and pouring down with rain.
369
00:19:29,001 --> 00:19:32,871
Whereas, you go to Coachella, and
like, it's a polo field.
370
00:19:32,971 --> 00:19:34,439
RAYMOND So Goldenvoice
371
00:19:34,539 --> 00:19:37,876
invited some friends to
come see the space.
372
00:19:37,976 --> 00:19:40,345
and the instant I saw
it, I just said,
373
00:19:40,445 --> 00:19:41,747
"This cracks the code.
374
00:19:41,847 --> 00:19:43,549
"This is something special.
375
00:19:43,649 --> 00:19:46,285
This is going to be something
special."
376
00:20:17,515 --> 00:20:19,685
Sleep on and
377
00:20:19,785 --> 00:20:23,655
Dream of love
378
00:20:23,755 --> 00:20:28,227
Because it's the closest
you will get
379
00:20:28,327 --> 00:20:34,967
To love
380
00:20:35,067 --> 00:20:37,502
Poor
381
00:20:37,602 --> 00:20:40,005
Twisted child
382
00:20:40,105 --> 00:20:42,474
Oh, hug me
383
00:20:42,574 --> 00:20:44,009
Please hug me
384
00:20:44,109 --> 00:20:45,944
One November
385
00:20:48,780 --> 00:20:50,983
Coachella was just starting
that year,
386
00:20:51,083 --> 00:20:53,652
and the thing that
I loved about it
387
00:20:53,752 --> 00:20:58,523
is it was culturally and sonically
and musically a hub
388
00:20:58,623 --> 00:21:00,025
where all of these people
came together.
389
00:21:08,366 --> 00:21:10,802
There really weren't festivals
at the time
390
00:21:10,902 --> 00:21:13,305
that were bringing in rock,
391
00:21:13,405 --> 00:21:15,774
electronic,
392
00:21:15,874 --> 00:21:17,009
hip hop,
393
00:21:17,109 --> 00:21:19,611
and mixing them all together.
394
00:21:19,711 --> 00:21:22,414
You know, there's this cross
polinization that happens,
395
00:21:22,514 --> 00:21:24,783
you can't help but walk by a
tent and hear something
396
00:21:24,883 --> 00:21:27,386
and it draws you in and you just
get exposed to new music.
397
00:21:31,089 --> 00:21:33,825
So sleep and
398
00:21:33,925 --> 00:21:37,829
Dream of love
399
00:21:37,929 --> 00:21:39,731
RAYMOND I think the first Coachella
400
00:21:39,831 --> 00:21:43,435
had roughly 35, 40,000 people that
came over the two days.
401
00:21:43,535 --> 00:21:45,871
The event looked terrific.
402
00:21:45,971 --> 00:21:48,540
Everybody was excited by it.
403
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:52,010
We liked the vastness of the field
and the different stages,
404
00:21:52,110 --> 00:21:55,647
and the fact that you could walk around
the field barefoot at the time
405
00:21:55,747 --> 00:22:00,419
was something that you just didn't experience
very often at a concert.
406
00:22:00,519 --> 00:22:02,988
The heat was a little unbearable
that year,
407
00:22:03,088 --> 00:22:05,824
but the vibe of everyone who
was there, I think,
408
00:22:05,924 --> 00:22:08,460
everyone was pretty happy with
the whole situation.
409
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:10,095
We all saw the potential.
410
00:22:13,464 --> 00:22:14,733
Thank you.
411
00:22:21,672 --> 00:22:22,841
RAYMOND From the outside,
412
00:22:22,941 --> 00:22:26,345
it looked like
an amazing success.
413
00:22:26,445 --> 00:22:31,116
But the math didn't work.
It lost a lot of money.
414
00:22:31,216 --> 00:22:33,452
And Goldenvoice was an independent
company at the time,
415
00:22:33,552 --> 00:22:35,854
so there wasn't anybody to,
like, bail it out.
416
00:22:35,954 --> 00:22:38,123
Well, it was dicey because we
had no money to begin with,
417
00:22:38,223 --> 00:22:42,527
and then we lost $850,000 or a million,
we don't know. You know?
418
00:22:42,627 --> 00:22:46,365
We didn't have accounting,
but it was it was nasty.
419
00:22:48,900 --> 00:22:54,072
So bad that I got kicked
out of the bank.
420
00:22:54,172 --> 00:22:55,474
Personally.
421
00:22:55,574 --> 00:22:57,008
Like, not even just
the company,
422
00:22:57,108 --> 00:22:58,877
I was on the something
called Check Guard.
423
00:22:58,977 --> 00:23:00,311
I wasn't allowed to cash
a check anymore.
424
00:23:04,215 --> 00:23:07,953
RAYMOND But, like, Goldenvoice
could have died a few times.
425
00:23:08,053 --> 00:23:10,756
But definitely could have died
when Gary went to prison.
426
00:23:13,057 --> 00:23:16,762
I could have filed for bankruptcy
when I left.
427
00:23:16,862 --> 00:23:18,897
I didn't do that. We paid
our bills instead.
428
00:23:18,997 --> 00:23:22,167
You know, my lawyer was
was thinking what
429
00:23:22,267 --> 00:23:23,435
what's wrong with you.
430
00:23:23,535 --> 00:23:25,537
You know, you
keep your money
431
00:23:25,637 --> 00:23:28,140
and let
let everybody hanging,
432
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,675
but no, I didn't
want to do that,
433
00:23:30,775 --> 00:23:32,177
and I think it was
a wise choice
434
00:23:32,277 --> 00:23:34,846
'cause when they needed help,
435
00:23:34,946 --> 00:23:37,682
after the first Coachella,
436
00:23:37,782 --> 00:23:39,818
the people stepped forward
and said that
437
00:23:39,918 --> 00:23:42,154
we were always good to them.
438
00:23:42,254 --> 00:23:45,023
The only reason we even were
able to keep going
439
00:23:45,123 --> 00:23:47,859
is we had a good reputation.
440
00:23:47,959 --> 00:23:49,828
Rage Against the Machine
and Beck, you know,
441
00:23:49,928 --> 00:23:51,797
they gave us money off.
442
00:23:51,897 --> 00:23:54,599
Don Muller and Marc Geiger, the
producers of Lollapalooza,
443
00:23:54,699 --> 00:23:56,535
really helped us financially.
444
00:23:56,635 --> 00:23:57,903
Everyone one of 'em,
it was, like,
445
00:23:58,003 --> 00:23:59,805
"Oh, pay us later, you're
good for it."
446
00:23:59,905 --> 00:24:02,140
And it's weird, at the time
I thought, like,
447
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,743
uh, it's you know, we're not
really a good loan.
448
00:24:04,843 --> 00:24:06,077
I'm not so sure
you should do this.
449
00:24:10,548 --> 00:24:14,186
At the same time, AEG built
Staples Center,
450
00:24:14,286 --> 00:24:17,489
and they were looking to get
in the concert business.
451
00:24:17,589 --> 00:24:19,024
We cut a deal with them.
452
00:24:19,124 --> 00:24:20,826
They came to us and said,
453
00:24:20,926 --> 00:24:22,928
"Why don't you find shows for
us at the Staples Center,
454
00:24:23,028 --> 00:24:24,796
and become a concert
promoter for us?"
455
00:24:24,896 --> 00:24:26,598
We're, like, sure,
no problem.
456
00:24:26,698 --> 00:24:29,134
They said, "And you should
do Coachella again."
457
00:24:29,234 --> 00:24:30,769
We're, like, "Really?
458
00:24:30,869 --> 00:24:32,571
It lost a lot of money.
Are you sure?"
459
00:24:40,578 --> 00:24:42,080
Yes, we lost the first time.
460
00:24:42,180 --> 00:24:44,049
Now we're coming back,
we've got a partner,
461
00:24:44,149 --> 00:24:45,951
and we start
looking for bands,
462
00:24:46,051 --> 00:24:48,720
kind of the last minute because
we cut our deal pretty late.
463
00:24:52,891 --> 00:24:55,193
Struggling for headliners, there's
no one out there.
464
00:24:55,293 --> 00:24:57,496
I mean, having no headliner
means you have no show.
465
00:24:57,596 --> 00:24:58,997
We're like, what about
Jane's Addiction?
466
00:25:02,968 --> 00:25:04,769
After Lollapalooza,
467
00:25:04,869 --> 00:25:07,172
I was done.
468
00:25:07,272 --> 00:25:09,841
I just ripped
all my clothes off,
469
00:25:09,941 --> 00:25:14,846
signifying I was gonna be like a
newborn baby when I got home.
470
00:25:14,946 --> 00:25:17,182
RAYMOND Rick Van Santen, who
was Paul's partner,
471
00:25:17,282 --> 00:25:19,718
came to Paul and said, "I think I
can reach out to everybody,
472
00:25:19,818 --> 00:25:22,587
and we might be able to get them
back together to perform.
473
00:25:22,687 --> 00:25:24,723
So Rick was, I guess,
474
00:25:24,823 --> 00:25:27,792
put in charge to kind of try
to get me to do it,
475
00:25:27,892 --> 00:25:31,863
and, uh, I would do almost anything
Rick wanted me to.
476
00:25:42,173 --> 00:25:47,312
You know,
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
477
00:25:47,412 --> 00:25:49,915
And so they were able
to do another show,
478
00:25:50,015 --> 00:25:53,952
but I don't think 2001, the next year,
the second year of Coachella,
479
00:25:54,052 --> 00:25:55,186
necessarily made
a ton of money.
480
00:25:57,054 --> 00:25:58,823
We did that show,
that was great,
481
00:25:58,923 --> 00:26:00,859
but it was just one day, we couldn't
find anyone else.
482
00:26:00,959 --> 00:26:02,661
So it was just a one-day show.
483
00:26:02,761 --> 00:26:05,597
And it was fun but we
made dumb mistakes.
484
00:26:05,697 --> 00:26:07,332
We forgot trashcans.
485
00:26:07,432 --> 00:26:09,568
Just really rookie stuff,
you know?
486
00:26:16,907 --> 00:26:18,944
2002...
487
00:26:19,044 --> 00:26:22,714
I feel that the year we didn't
make a mistake.
488
00:26:22,814 --> 00:26:24,282
Didn't really make any
money financially,
489
00:26:24,382 --> 00:26:26,318
but didn't lose that much.
490
00:26:27,752 --> 00:26:29,254
All the artists were on time,
491
00:26:29,354 --> 00:26:31,289
no one's equipment melted down,
492
00:26:31,389 --> 00:26:32,991
it was just really really
a good thing.
493
00:26:33,091 --> 00:26:36,328
A blueprint
494
00:26:36,428 --> 00:26:38,964
Of the pleasure
495
00:26:39,064 --> 00:26:41,967
I started in 2002.
496
00:26:42,067 --> 00:26:46,705
I remember watching Bjork just
so beautifully pregnant.
497
00:26:48,105 --> 00:26:50,775
Up there in the wind and
she just, like,
498
00:26:50,875 --> 00:26:54,379
looked so glamorous
and exquisite.
499
00:26:54,479 --> 00:26:58,717
A secret code carved
500
00:26:58,817 --> 00:27:00,685
In me
501
00:27:00,785 --> 00:27:03,021
That's when music changed
a little bit.
502
00:27:03,121 --> 00:27:05,624
There was a little bit more
of an indie rock scene.
503
00:27:05,724 --> 00:27:07,826
You know, the New York scene
started coming through.
504
00:27:16,067 --> 00:27:18,103
Get so scared of
505
00:27:18,203 --> 00:27:20,171
Get so scared of
506
00:27:20,271 --> 00:27:22,240
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake,
shake, shake, shake
507
00:27:22,340 --> 00:27:24,142
Shake, shake, shake, shake,
shake, shake, shake, shake
508
00:27:24,242 --> 00:27:28,313
Coachella was just, like,
really heating up.
509
00:27:28,413 --> 00:27:31,182
All these, like, indie New York
darling bands came around,
510
00:27:31,282 --> 00:27:32,817
and it was so exciting
for everybody.
511
00:27:32,917 --> 00:27:35,854
Out of the righteous
and onto the...
512
00:27:35,954 --> 00:27:37,355
Like, you love that world.
513
00:27:37,455 --> 00:27:40,225
An the U.K. bands,
and the NME bands,
514
00:27:40,325 --> 00:27:43,962
LCD and and, uh, Strokes
and White Stripes
515
00:27:44,062 --> 00:27:45,830
and these things for
the next few years
516
00:27:45,930 --> 00:27:49,100
was just ruling everything.
It was awesome.
517
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:51,436
Thirty notes
in the mailbox
518
00:27:51,536 --> 00:27:54,973
Will tell you that
I'm comin' home
519
00:27:55,073 --> 00:27:56,908
And I think I'm gonna
stick around
520
00:27:57,008 --> 00:27:59,711
For a while
so you're not alone
521
00:27:59,811 --> 00:28:01,980
For a while so
you're not alone
522
00:28:06,885 --> 00:28:08,086
Goldenvoice was still
523
00:28:08,186 --> 00:28:10,255
a really small company,
524
00:28:10,355 --> 00:28:13,425
so it was just like hands-
on everything,
525
00:28:13,525 --> 00:28:15,026
everybody does everything.
526
00:28:19,297 --> 00:28:21,466
2004, that was the first year
527
00:28:21,566 --> 00:28:23,468
we turned a profit.
528
00:28:23,568 --> 00:28:25,770
It was Radiohead,
Pixies, Kraftwerk.
529
00:28:25,870 --> 00:28:28,807
It was just this combo that
was just too good.
530
00:28:28,907 --> 00:28:31,109
And everyone
wanted to buy a ticket.
531
00:28:41,819 --> 00:28:45,056
We didn't do one in 2000
to kind of recover,
532
00:28:45,156 --> 00:28:48,193
and then '01, '02, '03, it's just getting
bigger, bigger, bigger,
533
00:28:48,293 --> 00:28:49,961
and then '04 just seemed like
534
00:28:50,061 --> 00:28:52,297
we can't get any bigger than
this, this is crazy.
535
00:28:57,401 --> 00:29:00,171
It was not until 2004
with Radiohead,
536
00:29:00,271 --> 00:29:02,474
finally, it was like fully attended
and fully realized
537
00:29:02,574 --> 00:29:05,076
as this is what it looks like
with a lot of people here.
538
00:29:09,981 --> 00:29:11,316
So now we felt like
539
00:29:11,416 --> 00:29:14,519
there's gonna be a future
for the show.
540
00:29:14,619 --> 00:29:17,088
It was always on the chopping
block up until then.
541
00:29:17,188 --> 00:29:19,157
It was always,
every time we did one,
542
00:29:19,257 --> 00:29:20,492
we thought it was gonna be
the last.
543
00:29:22,594 --> 00:29:23,762
All rightey.
544
00:29:23,862 --> 00:29:25,296
-Can we go on now?
-Yeah.
545
00:29:25,396 --> 00:29:26,865
Are we goin' on now?
546
00:29:29,033 --> 00:29:30,201
Jane's Addiction
was the beginning,
547
00:29:30,301 --> 00:29:31,536
Pixies was like,
548
00:29:31,636 --> 00:29:33,438
okay, this is a thing
that people like.
549
00:29:33,538 --> 00:29:35,340
Getting a band that hasn't
played in a long time
550
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:36,374
back together.
551
00:29:45,015 --> 00:29:47,352
RAYMOND The Pixies, I think, were
as surprised as anybody
552
00:29:47,452 --> 00:29:51,389
that there was this level
of interest.
553
00:29:51,489 --> 00:29:53,558
So to be brought out of that,
to be put on the stage,
554
00:29:53,658 --> 00:29:57,028
and then have people receive
it so warmly,
555
00:29:57,128 --> 00:29:58,863
and to do such a good show.
556
00:29:58,963 --> 00:30:00,932
You're into your
Japanese fast food
557
00:30:01,032 --> 00:30:03,034
And I drop you off with
your Japanese lover
558
00:30:03,134 --> 00:30:06,070
You're going to
the beach all day
559
00:30:06,170 --> 00:30:09,140
You're so pretty when you're
unfaithful to me
560
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:14,112
RAYMOND It was now the new
kind of benchmark.
561
00:30:14,212 --> 00:30:18,016
You're lookin' like you've
got some sun
562
00:30:18,116 --> 00:30:21,085
It was such a big moment for
the band and for us
563
00:30:21,185 --> 00:30:23,588
just to be part of them getting
back together,
564
00:30:23,688 --> 00:30:25,890
and pulling off
this big moment.
565
00:30:25,990 --> 00:30:29,561
Uh-oh, uh-oh,
uh-oh, uh-oh
566
00:30:29,661 --> 00:30:35,066
Your bones got
a little machine
567
00:30:35,166 --> 00:30:36,901
Paul seeks 'em out.
568
00:30:37,001 --> 00:30:38,937
I mean, like, he runs
around in his head,
569
00:30:39,037 --> 00:30:41,206
"Who can I
bring back together?"
570
00:30:41,306 --> 00:30:43,575
And I don't know if it started
by accidentally
571
00:30:43,675 --> 00:30:46,911
asking us if we would do it because
he was our friend,
572
00:30:47,011 --> 00:30:49,180
but whatever for whatever
reason, man,
573
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:50,481
he's got a good thing going.
574
00:30:55,019 --> 00:30:58,223
Bauhaus is
so long ago to me now.
575
00:30:58,323 --> 00:30:59,591
I remember
the first time around,
576
00:30:59,691 --> 00:31:02,961
we were just beginning
to get really big,
577
00:31:03,061 --> 00:31:04,596
and, uh, we quit.
578
00:31:04,696 --> 00:31:06,865
Boom. And it stayed
we don't
579
00:31:06,965 --> 00:31:08,333
we just we quit,
and it's
580
00:31:08,433 --> 00:31:09,968
You know, it's a very English
thing to do.
581
00:31:11,435 --> 00:31:13,204
I remember very clearly
582
00:31:13,304 --> 00:31:15,340
the phone call from
Paul Tollett
583
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:18,009
to do Coachella.
584
00:31:18,109 --> 00:31:20,545
I played it cool and simple. That's
very interesting, Paul.
585
00:31:20,645 --> 00:31:22,647
I'll have a word with the others and,
uh, I'll get back to you.
586
00:31:22,747 --> 00:31:25,116
Put the phone down,
I was like Yes!
587
00:31:26,951 --> 00:31:30,054
The opening features Peter
hanging upside-down,
588
00:31:30,154 --> 00:31:33,291
which was Peter's
brilliant idea.
589
00:31:33,391 --> 00:31:35,960
I knew that I had to physically
practice
590
00:31:36,060 --> 00:31:39,597
because there's a time limit of something
like 15 minutes, I think,
591
00:31:39,697 --> 00:31:43,134
before you pass out, and
it's a long song.
592
00:31:43,234 --> 00:31:46,104
The original idea was
to release bats,
593
00:31:46,204 --> 00:31:49,641
hundreds of bats, into the
audience at dusk,
594
00:31:49,741 --> 00:31:53,678
but they looked into and you
cannot have a bird release
595
00:31:53,778 --> 00:31:55,680
after 5 p.m. for some reason,
596
00:31:55,780 --> 00:32:00,184
and bats, apparently, are
considered to be birds
597
00:32:00,284 --> 00:32:01,986
under these circumstances,
598
00:32:02,086 --> 00:32:06,591
um, and, uh, it was also the
the twin peril of, uh
599
00:32:06,691 --> 00:32:09,560
of rabies and bat shit.
600
00:32:09,660 --> 00:32:15,600
White on white translucent
black capes
601
00:32:15,700 --> 00:32:17,502
Back on the rack
602
00:32:22,473 --> 00:32:24,375
Bela Lugosi's dead
603
00:32:24,475 --> 00:32:27,478
The bats have left
the bell tower
604
00:32:27,578 --> 00:32:29,714
The victims
have been bled
605
00:32:29,814 --> 00:32:33,718
Red velvet lines
the black box
606
00:32:35,085 --> 00:32:37,455
Bela Lugosi's dead
607
00:32:39,791 --> 00:32:42,093
I had a lot of friends
working on the show.
608
00:32:42,193 --> 00:32:45,063
Goldenvoice, at that time, they
were building Coachella,
609
00:32:45,163 --> 00:32:48,132
would come to the Roxy
and drop off
610
00:32:48,232 --> 00:32:49,600
Here's a pack of 20 tickets.
611
00:32:49,700 --> 00:32:51,703
Please come out to this
place called Indio.
612
00:32:51,803 --> 00:32:53,738
We were like, "Yeah, we
might go to that."
613
00:32:53,838 --> 00:32:57,608
And then I remember, like, year
six or seven, we're like,
614
00:32:57,708 --> 00:33:01,512
"That's weird. Goldenvoice didn't come
by and drop any tickets off."
615
00:33:01,612 --> 00:33:03,748
And there was that switch
in the festival where
616
00:33:03,848 --> 00:33:07,986
you literally saw it turn into something
that you had to do,
617
00:33:08,086 --> 00:33:09,087
you had to be at.
618
00:33:26,503 --> 00:33:28,773
Madonna, I was friends
with her manager...
619
00:33:28,873 --> 00:33:30,775
Time goes by
620
00:33:30,875 --> 00:33:32,377
So slowly
621
00:33:32,477 --> 00:33:34,245
I was like, what about Madonna
for Coachella?
622
00:33:34,345 --> 00:33:35,713
I'm like, wow,
that's crazy,
623
00:33:35,813 --> 00:33:37,148
I mean, my headliners
are booked.
624
00:33:37,248 --> 00:33:39,650
Well, what about
the dance tent?
625
00:33:39,750 --> 00:33:41,185
I'm like,
that's incredible.
626
00:33:41,285 --> 00:33:42,687
It's so different
for Coachella,
627
00:33:42,787 --> 00:33:44,222
so when we put
the poster out,
628
00:33:44,322 --> 00:33:45,790
I made sure it said
"in the tent"
629
00:33:45,890 --> 00:33:49,193
to really set the pace for what
that show was gonna be.
630
00:34:06,877 --> 00:34:10,381
Every little thing that
you say or do
631
00:34:10,481 --> 00:34:12,350
I'm hung up
632
00:34:12,450 --> 00:34:14,552
I'm hung up on you
633
00:34:14,652 --> 00:34:18,189
Waiting for your call,
baby, night and day
634
00:34:18,289 --> 00:34:20,124
I'm fed up
635
00:34:20,224 --> 00:34:22,627
I'm tired of
waitin' on you
636
00:34:22,727 --> 00:34:25,396
Time goes by so slowly
637
00:34:25,496 --> 00:34:27,598
It was packed.
638
00:34:27,698 --> 00:34:29,634
There are so many people
who love Madonna,
639
00:34:29,734 --> 00:34:33,271
but might not buy a ticket to
go to a Madonna concert,
640
00:34:33,371 --> 00:34:35,807
but since she's like
right over there,
641
00:34:35,907 --> 00:34:37,075
everybody went.
642
00:34:37,908 --> 00:34:39,644
Time goes by
643
00:34:39,744 --> 00:34:41,379
So slowly
644
00:34:41,479 --> 00:34:42,847
RAYMOND It was a sign that
the show was growing up,
645
00:34:42,947 --> 00:34:45,583
that there was, like there
were stars here.
646
00:34:45,683 --> 00:34:48,486
Time goes by
647
00:34:48,586 --> 00:34:53,124
I would argue that she was the
firststar to play the show.
648
00:34:53,224 --> 00:34:56,294
Every little thing,
every little thing
649
00:34:56,394 --> 00:34:59,097
I'm fed up
650
00:35:07,504 --> 00:35:10,408
If I'm in town, I usually
go as a fan.
651
00:35:10,508 --> 00:35:13,111
because it's, you know,
the state of music.
652
00:35:13,211 --> 00:35:14,812
It's the, pretty much,
653
00:35:14,912 --> 00:35:18,149
everything that's happening in
music at the at the moment.
654
00:35:18,249 --> 00:35:19,851
I'm really excited to be here.
655
00:35:19,951 --> 00:35:23,421
Oh. I'm so excited to
be here, like, um
656
00:35:23,521 --> 00:35:25,656
like, I'm not a very
organized person,
657
00:35:25,756 --> 00:35:28,526
but this is one thing that everybody
has said to me,
658
00:35:28,626 --> 00:35:30,895
wait until you
get to Coachella.
659
00:35:32,363 --> 00:35:34,899
I I'm so excited to be here.
660
00:35:38,802 --> 00:35:42,440
Well, sometimes
I go out by myself
661
00:35:42,540 --> 00:35:45,676
And I look across
the water
662
00:35:48,378 --> 00:35:50,248
And I think of
all the things
663
00:35:50,348 --> 00:35:51,682
Of what you're doing
664
00:35:51,782 --> 00:35:53,818
In my head
I paint a picture
665
00:35:53,918 --> 00:35:55,553
I just remember
that being, like.
666
00:35:55,653 --> 00:35:59,490
a super energetic time where
the appetite for people,
667
00:35:59,590 --> 00:36:00,858
they just wanted
in everything,
668
00:36:00,958 --> 00:36:02,627
new music, new music,
new music.
669
00:36:02,727 --> 00:36:06,297
then, like, the most popular
things on the poster
670
00:36:06,397 --> 00:36:07,532
were the things
they didn't know.
671
00:36:07,632 --> 00:36:09,167
Won't you come on over
672
00:36:09,267 --> 00:36:13,337
Stop making
a fool out of me
673
00:36:13,437 --> 00:36:17,308
Oh, why don't you come
on over, Valerie
674
00:36:19,843 --> 00:36:23,314
Valerie
675
00:36:23,414 --> 00:36:25,850
Everybody was just so into
music discovery.
676
00:36:25,950 --> 00:36:27,585
Coachella,
when you look at it,
677
00:36:27,685 --> 00:36:30,621
there's no there's no
one cohesive genre,
678
00:36:30,721 --> 00:36:34,525
it's just more cohesive in the
idea that good is good.
679
00:36:34,625 --> 00:36:37,428
You know? That you don't
define it by category.
680
00:36:37,528 --> 00:36:40,464
All the good people
wanna rescue
681
00:36:40,564 --> 00:36:43,768
All the smart people
wanna talk to you
682
00:36:43,868 --> 00:36:47,471
All the clever people
wanna tell you
683
00:36:47,571 --> 00:36:50,775
All the little people wanna
dance, it's true
684
00:36:50,875 --> 00:36:56,614
Cloud, block out the sun
685
00:36:56,714 --> 00:36:58,382
For the first years
of Coachella,
686
00:36:58,482 --> 00:37:00,918
I would always go as a fan
and see the great bands,
687
00:37:01,018 --> 00:37:04,355
and I asked Paul if I
could, you know,
688
00:37:04,455 --> 00:37:05,890
interview people,
689
00:37:05,990 --> 00:37:07,825
and I I think I could get
really good interviews,
690
00:37:07,925 --> 00:37:10,328
and they said,
yeah, let's do that,
691
00:37:10,428 --> 00:37:11,596
and we we did.
692
00:37:11,696 --> 00:37:13,631
Hey, everybody, it's
Rosanna Arquette.
693
00:37:13,731 --> 00:37:15,866
I'm here backstage with
Calvin Harris.
694
00:37:15,966 --> 00:37:18,803
Here with Norman Cook live
from Coachella.
695
00:37:18,903 --> 00:37:20,938
And we are with Justice.
Roger Waters.
696
00:37:21,038 --> 00:37:22,974
Sir Paul McCartney.
The Specials.
697
00:37:23,074 --> 00:37:25,343
It was my most favorite job
I ever had in my life.
698
00:37:25,443 --> 00:37:28,312
The guys from Portishead,
Geoff and Adrian.
699
00:37:28,412 --> 00:37:29,614
Nobody said no.
700
00:37:29,714 --> 00:37:31,249
And it would be like a joke,
701
00:37:31,349 --> 00:37:34,619
like, well, you're never
gonna get Lauryn Hill.
702
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:36,454
It's just not gonna happen.
703
00:37:36,554 --> 00:37:37,855
Thank you so much.
704
00:37:37,955 --> 00:37:39,724
Who inspires you?
705
00:37:39,824 --> 00:37:41,259
I'm inspired by beauty.
706
00:37:41,359 --> 00:37:42,660
I'm inspired by love,
707
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:44,495
I'm inspired by things that
I see come together.
708
00:37:44,595 --> 00:37:46,364
Us
709
00:37:46,464 --> 00:37:48,599
V. them
710
00:37:48,699 --> 00:37:51,002
Over and over again
711
00:37:53,838 --> 00:37:55,306
The one thing you guys did
712
00:37:55,406 --> 00:37:57,675
that was more special than
anything to me,
713
00:37:57,775 --> 00:38:00,645
you guys brought Rage Against
the Machine back.
714
00:38:00,745 --> 00:38:02,546
And when that happened,
y'all,
715
00:38:02,646 --> 00:38:04,915
that's when it you know, I
always said to myself
716
00:38:05,015 --> 00:38:07,318
Wu-Tang will play Coachella
one day.
717
00:38:07,418 --> 00:38:09,520
Good evening, we are Rage
Against the Machine
718
00:38:09,620 --> 00:38:11,389
from Los Angeles, California.
719
00:38:13,524 --> 00:38:15,359
Now it's exactly a year
ago when I saw him,
720
00:38:15,459 --> 00:38:17,395
he didn't seem very keen
on the industry
721
00:38:17,495 --> 00:38:18,996
or what it stood for.
722
00:38:19,096 --> 00:38:22,033
So for a guy like that
to come out,
723
00:38:22,133 --> 00:38:24,568
okay, it's something serious,
I it's it's a more
724
00:38:24,668 --> 00:38:25,970
he didn't come out for
no money.
725
00:38:26,070 --> 00:38:27,738
You can't get him out his
house for money.
726
00:38:27,838 --> 00:38:29,740
-Right. Right, right, right.
-You know what I mean?
727
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:30,775
Uh!
728
00:38:45,622 --> 00:38:47,391
The movie ran through me
729
00:38:47,491 --> 00:38:49,360
The glamour subdue me
730
00:38:49,460 --> 00:38:53,564
Rage Against the Machine is
self explanatory, man.
731
00:38:53,664 --> 00:38:55,533
The songs
especially when they
732
00:38:55,633 --> 00:38:57,735
speak to some truth
and freedom, man
733
00:38:57,835 --> 00:39:00,004
you really can't
fuck with that.
734
00:39:00,104 --> 00:39:01,772
They're one of the great groups
735
00:39:01,872 --> 00:39:03,908
to ever come out of
Los Angeles,
736
00:39:04,008 --> 00:39:06,077
so everybody
waits until the day
737
00:39:06,177 --> 00:39:07,978
that they're ready
to play again.
738
00:39:08,078 --> 00:39:09,413
And it's right outside
the door
739
00:39:09,513 --> 00:39:10,715
Now testify!
740
00:39:13,417 --> 00:39:15,586
Now testify!
741
00:39:15,686 --> 00:39:16,921
It's right outside
the door
742
00:39:17,021 --> 00:39:18,889
Testify!
743
00:39:18,989 --> 00:39:21,058
And the next time they
do, we're gonna be
744
00:39:21,158 --> 00:39:23,361
back on our hands and
knees beggin' 'em,
745
00:39:23,461 --> 00:39:26,063
because they turn the
crowd on that much.
746
00:39:26,163 --> 00:39:28,032
Mass graves for the pump
when the price is set
747
00:39:28,132 --> 00:39:29,967
When the price is set
748
00:39:30,067 --> 00:39:31,635
Mass graves for the pump
when the price is set
749
00:39:31,735 --> 00:39:33,704
When the price is set
750
00:39:33,804 --> 00:39:36,674
There's not that many groups
in the world, man,
751
00:39:36,774 --> 00:39:37,742
that can do that,
752
00:39:37,842 --> 00:39:40,811
and less and less and less.
753
00:39:57,661 --> 00:39:59,964
Who controls the past now
754
00:40:00,064 --> 00:40:01,665
Controls the future
755
00:40:01,765 --> 00:40:03,868
Who controls
the present now
756
00:40:03,968 --> 00:40:05,569
Controls the past
757
00:40:05,669 --> 00:40:07,671
Who controls the past now
758
00:40:07,771 --> 00:40:09,140
Controls the future
759
00:40:09,240 --> 00:40:12,510
Who controls
the present now
760
00:40:12,610 --> 00:40:13,744
Now testify!
761
00:40:16,747 --> 00:40:19,049
Now testify!
762
00:40:19,149 --> 00:40:20,584
It's right outside
the door
763
00:40:20,684 --> 00:40:21,752
Testify!
764
00:40:24,522 --> 00:40:26,056
Now testify!
765
00:40:26,156 --> 00:40:28,492
The war is right outside
your door
766
00:40:53,216 --> 00:40:56,487
All along
the western front
767
00:40:56,587 --> 00:41:00,191
People line up
to receive
768
00:41:00,291 --> 00:41:04,595
During the mid 2000s,
769
00:41:04,695 --> 00:41:06,997
Coachella really established
itself as,
770
00:41:07,097 --> 00:41:09,467
like, the ultimate
indie festival.
771
00:41:09,567 --> 00:41:12,970
Ooh, ooh
772
00:41:13,070 --> 00:41:16,207
Shock me like
an electric eel
773
00:41:16,307 --> 00:41:19,944
Baby girl
774
00:41:20,044 --> 00:41:23,147
Turn me on with
your electric feel
775
00:41:23,247 --> 00:41:26,784
In popular understanding,
776
00:41:26,884 --> 00:41:30,521
Coachella became kind of this
sacred indie temple.
777
00:41:30,621 --> 00:41:33,891
Baby girl
778
00:41:33,991 --> 00:41:37,561
Turn me on with
your electric feel
779
00:41:37,661 --> 00:41:39,897
And then through the years,
780
00:41:39,997 --> 00:41:41,532
the DJ presence at Coachella
781
00:41:41,632 --> 00:41:44,235
became more and more
of a thing.
782
00:41:44,335 --> 00:41:47,638
And then the Sahara tent became almost
like a party unto itself.
783
00:41:49,205 --> 00:41:51,075
I think it's important to
remind people that
784
00:41:51,175 --> 00:41:55,045
in 1999,
festivals didn't have
785
00:41:55,145 --> 00:41:57,815
the huge LED panels
that we know now,
786
00:41:57,915 --> 00:41:59,650
and the the huge
stage production.
787
00:42:06,323 --> 00:42:08,259
You know, I felt like for
most of the '90s,
788
00:42:08,359 --> 00:42:10,828
electronic music existed
in a place where,
789
00:42:10,928 --> 00:42:12,730
if you weren't an electronic
music fan,
790
00:42:12,830 --> 00:42:14,565
you generally didn't pay that
much attention to it.
791
00:42:16,333 --> 00:42:18,235
One of the things that I thought
was kind of amazing
792
00:42:18,335 --> 00:42:20,004
but odd about
the first Coachella
793
00:42:20,104 --> 00:42:23,240
was that it was very electronic
music oriented
794
00:42:23,340 --> 00:42:26,944
at a time, you know, when
electronic music
795
00:42:27,044 --> 00:42:29,213
really was very,
very underground.
796
00:42:31,649 --> 00:42:34,184
If I were governor of my state
or mayor of my town,
797
00:42:34,284 --> 00:42:37,755
I would be passing
new ordinances
798
00:42:37,855 --> 00:42:40,991
relating to stiff
criminal penalties
799
00:42:41,091 --> 00:42:42,626
for anyone who held a rave;
800
00:42:42,726 --> 00:42:45,863
The promoter, the guy who
owned the building.
801
00:42:45,963 --> 00:42:48,299
I would put the son of a gun
in jail.
802
00:42:48,399 --> 00:42:52,336
So 2001, 2002 was a really tough
time for dance music.
803
00:42:54,170 --> 00:42:56,674
The DEA created
the Crack House Law
804
00:42:56,774 --> 00:43:00,010
and went after not only venues
but event producers.
805
00:43:00,110 --> 00:43:03,647
All right, you're gonna have
to clear this area.
806
00:43:03,747 --> 00:43:05,950
The venues didn't want to rent
their facilities to you
807
00:43:06,050 --> 00:43:09,653
and some of the producers weren't even
willing to produce anymore.
808
00:43:17,293 --> 00:43:19,330
The culture was almost destroyed
completely.
809
00:43:21,665 --> 00:43:24,702
And you could have not had dance music
at a festival at one point.
810
00:43:26,870 --> 00:43:30,074
So the whole rave scene, at
that point, was on trial.
811
00:43:30,174 --> 00:43:33,877
And law enforcement wanted us
to drop that type of music.
812
00:43:37,181 --> 00:43:40,718
In the early 2000s, the
scene was struggling,
813
00:43:40,818 --> 00:43:45,389
but Coachella,
they kept... doing it.
814
00:43:45,489 --> 00:43:47,791
And it was so great
for dance music.
815
00:43:56,066 --> 00:43:59,637
I am so happy Coachella didn't
jump on the bandwagon,
816
00:43:59,737 --> 00:44:02,106
because when the events
are healthy,
817
00:44:02,206 --> 00:44:03,774
that pushes the music forward.
818
00:44:08,245 --> 00:44:12,383
We had Sahara tent,
and we Dew Lab.
819
00:44:12,483 --> 00:44:15,185
When Dew Lab started out, it
was just an art piece.
820
00:44:15,285 --> 00:44:17,388
We barely were even paying
attention to 'em.
821
00:44:17,488 --> 00:44:20,758
They were DJ-ing in there.
822
00:44:20,858 --> 00:44:23,761
They've been an institution
for us ever since.
823
00:44:23,861 --> 00:44:27,197
So we felt like we were doing good
with electronic music.
824
00:44:29,332 --> 00:44:32,269
Daft Punk, Daft Punk, Daft
Punk, Daft Punk...
825
00:44:32,369 --> 00:44:34,938
Then Coachella 2006,
826
00:44:35,038 --> 00:44:36,807
Daft Punk plays.
827
00:44:36,907 --> 00:44:39,176
And people's minds get blown.
828
00:44:40,944 --> 00:44:43,347
It, like, changed people's
lives, including mine.
829
00:44:43,447 --> 00:44:44,682
Forever.
830
00:44:46,250 --> 00:44:47,418
We didn't know what to expect.
831
00:44:47,518 --> 00:44:50,087
And the first thing
that you hear is
832
00:44:50,187 --> 00:44:52,790
the "Close Encounters"
melody.
833
00:44:52,890 --> 00:44:57,027
Do, do, do, do, doo
834
00:44:57,127 --> 00:44:59,296
And it was, like
Ohhh.
835
00:45:00,864 --> 00:45:01,932
And then you hear it again.
836
00:45:02,032 --> 00:45:04,835
Do, do, do, do, doo
837
00:45:04,935 --> 00:45:06,704
It's, like
Ohhhh.
838
00:45:06,804 --> 00:45:11,108
And then the curtain slowly
parts to reveal
839
00:45:11,208 --> 00:45:15,846
this fucking pyramid with
these robots on top.
840
00:45:15,946 --> 00:45:18,315
And you're like,
they are aliens.
841
00:45:18,415 --> 00:45:20,484
They are not from planet Earth.
842
00:45:20,584 --> 00:45:23,420
Television
843
00:45:24,521 --> 00:45:27,057
Rules the nation
844
00:45:28,358 --> 00:45:30,961
Television
845
00:45:32,061 --> 00:45:34,264
Rules the nation
846
00:45:34,364 --> 00:45:35,799
Around the world
847
00:46:05,528 --> 00:46:09,833
It was just such a mind-
blowing performance.
848
00:46:09,933 --> 00:46:11,969
It was kind of the birth
of EDM right there.
849
00:46:15,539 --> 00:46:17,474
From that point on,
850
00:46:17,574 --> 00:46:23,113
dance music needed to have a
giant spectacle on stage.
851
00:46:23,213 --> 00:46:26,016
And so you could love it
or you could hate it.
852
00:46:26,116 --> 00:46:27,117
I mean
853
00:46:27,217 --> 00:46:29,520
But the fact is that
854
00:46:29,620 --> 00:46:33,157
nothing was the same after
that performance.
855
00:46:33,257 --> 00:46:36,093
Rules the nation
856
00:46:40,497 --> 00:46:43,934
And from that that moment,
it was like
857
00:46:44,034 --> 00:46:46,537
I mean, it's all what DJs would be
playing all across the country.
858
00:46:46,637 --> 00:46:48,272
Wherever I was playing,
it was like,
859
00:46:48,372 --> 00:46:50,908
Daft Punk, Daft Punk,
Daft Punk.
860
00:46:51,008 --> 00:46:52,276
Then we would
always be doing, like,
861
00:46:52,376 --> 00:46:54,511
the pyramid that they
did at Coachella.
862
00:47:19,435 --> 00:47:21,872
As headliners here today, it was
just absolutely amazing.
863
00:47:21,972 --> 00:47:24,374
And how they got embraced
by what they are
864
00:47:24,474 --> 00:47:26,877
as as a group,
as an art as artists.
865
00:47:26,977 --> 00:47:29,580
By the end of the day, they brought,
brought the funk kind of sound
866
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:31,081
and the house music
to the table,
867
00:47:31,181 --> 00:47:33,150
and and the new
electronic sound.
868
00:47:33,250 --> 00:47:35,252
They're the ones that were there
first before anyone else,
869
00:47:35,352 --> 00:47:37,588
so for me to hear them
today was amazing.
870
00:48:06,349 --> 00:48:10,187
I think it's good. We're gonna
have some good shows now.
871
00:48:36,112 --> 00:48:37,514
Technologically speaking,
872
00:48:37,614 --> 00:48:40,150
it's always new ideas
and new concepts
873
00:48:40,250 --> 00:48:41,485
coming from the Sahara tent.
874
00:48:44,588 --> 00:48:46,256
The new technology shows up,
875
00:48:46,356 --> 00:48:48,625
and the artists with
the creativity
876
00:48:48,725 --> 00:48:51,528
will utilize that technology
to push the limits
877
00:48:59,268 --> 00:49:01,672
Just on an audio/visual level,
878
00:49:01,772 --> 00:49:03,040
regardless of who's performing
in there,
879
00:49:03,140 --> 00:49:04,508
it's incredible.
880
00:49:04,608 --> 00:49:06,710
I'm not scared of technology.
881
00:49:06,810 --> 00:49:09,646
For me, this is always something
that I use like a tool
882
00:49:09,746 --> 00:49:13,150
to bring across what
I have in my head.
883
00:49:13,250 --> 00:49:15,485
It's the same thing as
having a muscle car.
884
00:49:15,585 --> 00:49:18,355
Getting a V8 engine,
450 horse power,
885
00:49:18,455 --> 00:49:20,390
it's big power.
886
00:49:20,490 --> 00:49:24,461
When we get those big subs in there
and light those things up,
887
00:49:24,561 --> 00:49:26,196
it could blur your vision.
888
00:49:26,296 --> 00:49:29,066
You could stand in front and
everything turns fuzzy.
889
00:49:29,166 --> 00:49:31,168
One day, someone's gonna
bring in too many subs
890
00:49:31,268 --> 00:49:32,369
and someone's just gonna,
like
891
00:49:32,469 --> 00:49:34,304
their stomach
is gonna explode.
892
00:49:34,404 --> 00:49:36,073
Ugh!
893
00:49:47,650 --> 00:49:49,252
Social media made
a big difference.
894
00:49:49,352 --> 00:49:52,489
Like, as soon as Facebook
and Instagram blew up,
895
00:49:52,589 --> 00:49:54,424
EDM blew up,
because for years
896
00:49:54,524 --> 00:49:57,260
it was held down by people
who control
897
00:49:57,360 --> 00:50:00,330
the radio and television,
who control the media.
898
00:50:00,430 --> 00:50:02,632
It was big, it was, you
know, felt like
899
00:50:02,732 --> 00:50:05,469
you could tell that the bands
were starting to break,
900
00:50:05,569 --> 00:50:07,504
that this festival culture,
901
00:50:07,604 --> 00:50:10,273
this electronic music youth
festival culture
902
00:50:10,373 --> 00:50:13,777
was... you know, like, pushing other
genres out of the way,
903
00:50:13,877 --> 00:50:15,012
like, we are here.
904
00:50:23,519 --> 00:50:25,789
Tiesto on the main stage
changed the game.
905
00:50:25,889 --> 00:50:29,226
And Paul Tollett, hats
off for that booking
906
00:50:29,326 --> 00:50:31,194
because I think that was that
was a controversial choice.
907
00:50:32,462 --> 00:50:34,331
People were pretty, uh, shocked
908
00:50:34,431 --> 00:50:36,199
that I played Coachella,
main stage.
909
00:50:36,299 --> 00:50:37,501
And they were, like they didn't
know what to expect.
910
00:50:39,702 --> 00:50:42,205
'Cause a lot of bands and, like,
traditional musicians
911
00:50:42,305 --> 00:50:44,441
are, like,
you're not us, man.
912
00:50:44,541 --> 00:50:47,778
Like, what, 'cause I don't sit behind
the drum and play the drum?
913
00:50:47,878 --> 00:50:51,148
Like it or not, Tiesto's here and he's
gonna play on the main stage.
914
00:50:57,553 --> 00:51:00,123
And that proved a point that
915
00:51:00,223 --> 00:51:03,560
large scale DJ culture was
becoming a real thing.
916
00:51:09,266 --> 00:51:12,069
No one had done that
at that time
917
00:51:12,169 --> 00:51:14,337
at a multi-genre
music festival.
918
00:51:14,437 --> 00:51:17,641
Taking a dance act and having him play
to that large of an audience
919
00:51:17,741 --> 00:51:21,511
was unbelievable and
something that...
920
00:51:21,611 --> 00:51:24,681
pushed things forward for the industry
that I love so much,
921
00:51:24,781 --> 00:51:26,183
and the culture that
I love so much.
922
00:51:35,791 --> 00:51:37,294
At first, we felt that
923
00:51:37,394 --> 00:51:39,729
the main stage was a
little big for us,
924
00:51:39,829 --> 00:51:41,531
but we were like,
eh, you know what?
925
00:51:41,631 --> 00:51:43,467
Let's try it and let's do our
best and pushed for it.
926
00:51:45,368 --> 00:51:46,670
But it definitely
changed the sound
927
00:51:46,770 --> 00:51:48,772
going from night clubs
to these big stages
928
00:51:48,872 --> 00:51:51,741
that made everything bigger,
louder, more grand,
929
00:51:51,841 --> 00:51:55,245
and now we've graduated to where
there's a pop element to it.
930
00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:05,589
I think that happens
with any genre,
931
00:52:05,689 --> 00:52:09,126
from hip hop to, you know, to
indie rock to whatever.
932
00:52:09,226 --> 00:52:11,528
There's always just layers.
There's an underground,
933
00:52:11,628 --> 00:52:13,396
more independent sound that's
more cultured,
934
00:52:13,496 --> 00:52:15,665
and, I guess, takes a little
more digging to get to,
935
00:52:15,765 --> 00:52:16,867
and there's the stuff
that's on the radio
936
00:52:16,967 --> 00:52:19,703
that's more accessible.
937
00:52:23,006 --> 00:52:25,442
People need not be afraid
938
00:52:25,542 --> 00:52:28,245
of big dance acts
that have success,
939
00:52:28,345 --> 00:52:31,681
because you can always go find your
house music or your techno.
940
00:52:42,391 --> 00:52:44,895
Yuma is a really interesting
innovation
941
00:52:44,995 --> 00:52:47,264
because it's just
about the music.
942
00:52:49,432 --> 00:52:51,501
It's more of the intimate
club experience
943
00:52:51,601 --> 00:52:53,904
but on a larger scale
and at a festival.
944
00:53:18,728 --> 00:53:21,398
The Yuma stage is very much,
you know, sort of like
945
00:53:21,498 --> 00:53:23,400
the quintessential heads,
you know,
946
00:53:23,500 --> 00:53:24,534
they know what they want.
947
00:53:24,634 --> 00:53:26,236
That's my favorite type
of vibe.
948
00:53:26,336 --> 00:53:29,206
There's no screens,
it's just music.
949
00:53:40,850 --> 00:53:44,654
It's around
connecting to people.
950
00:53:44,754 --> 00:53:48,325
As we track the growth
of electronic music,
951
00:53:48,425 --> 00:53:50,794
there doesn't seem
any end in sight.
952
00:53:50,894 --> 00:53:53,964
People just seem to have
the drive to have
953
00:53:54,064 --> 00:53:55,465
the time of your life.
954
00:53:55,565 --> 00:53:57,300
One, two
955
00:53:57,400 --> 00:54:00,337
Everybody jump
956
00:54:08,845 --> 00:54:10,614
I remember, like, the second
Major Lazer show,
957
00:54:10,714 --> 00:54:12,515
and it was, like,
the most epic
958
00:54:12,615 --> 00:54:13,850
Sunset is sort of the best time
to play at Coachella.
959
00:54:13,950 --> 00:54:15,518
Nobody can tell you
differently.
960
00:54:15,618 --> 00:54:17,687
Whether they say it's headlining,
whatever,
961
00:54:17,787 --> 00:54:18,822
as long as it's sunset.
962
00:54:25,928 --> 00:54:28,265
EDM became a thing,
963
00:54:28,365 --> 00:54:30,033
and through that, I think,
964
00:54:30,133 --> 00:54:32,269
more and more people
in North America
965
00:54:32,369 --> 00:54:35,472
finally got accustomed to the
sonics of electronic music,
966
00:54:35,572 --> 00:54:36,906
'cause it used to be foreign.
967
00:54:37,006 --> 00:54:38,675
It used to be
exotic and crazy.
968
00:54:45,815 --> 00:54:47,717
I knew it was gonna be a big
moment in my career;
969
00:54:47,817 --> 00:54:49,853
first time on the main
stage at Coachella.
970
00:54:49,953 --> 00:54:52,022
This is the festival the
whole world looks at.
971
00:54:52,122 --> 00:54:54,791
Look into my eyes
972
00:54:54,891 --> 00:54:56,526
Eyes
973
00:54:56,626 --> 00:55:00,897
Are the windows
to the soul
974
00:55:00,997 --> 00:55:02,732
I walked off stage
that first week,
975
00:55:02,832 --> 00:55:05,502
and the guys who'd flown the
drone, they walk up,
976
00:55:05,602 --> 00:55:06,803
and they're like, "Dude,
oh, my gosh,"
977
00:55:06,903 --> 00:55:08,805
and they're freakin' out.
978
00:55:08,905 --> 00:55:12,809
And they whip out an iPad and it
has the drone footage on it.
979
00:55:12,909 --> 00:55:14,911
And I'm just like
Ahh!
980
00:55:15,011 --> 00:55:16,946
We're all, like, screaming
looking at this thing,
981
00:55:17,046 --> 00:55:18,982
like rewinding it,
like What?!
982
00:55:19,082 --> 00:55:21,751
How far back does
the crowd go?
983
00:55:21,851 --> 00:55:23,420
Look into my eyes
984
00:55:30,726 --> 00:55:33,096
And there's a big red blast
on the screen,
985
00:55:33,196 --> 00:55:35,965
and you can see it just lights
the whole crowd up red.
986
00:55:36,065 --> 00:55:38,435
Look into my eyes
987
00:55:45,875 --> 00:55:47,644
Whether the radio
wants to admit it
988
00:55:47,744 --> 00:55:50,046
or whatever,
the TV,
989
00:55:50,146 --> 00:55:52,849
I don't know what's goin' on,
but there's a movement,
990
00:55:52,949 --> 00:55:54,451
and it's solidified,
and guess what?
991
00:55:54,551 --> 00:55:55,952
It's been 20 years
in the making.
992
00:55:56,052 --> 00:55:58,488
Eyes
993
00:56:27,883 --> 00:56:29,819
At the end of the day,
994
00:56:29,919 --> 00:56:33,690
and I've said this all throughout
the commotion of EDM,
995
00:56:33,790 --> 00:56:36,726
I've always said this,
hip hop is, like,
996
00:56:36,826 --> 00:56:38,728
the generational music of
North American youth.
997
00:56:41,531 --> 00:56:44,100
RAYMOND Early Coachella definitely
had hip hop.
998
00:56:44,200 --> 00:56:45,668
You had hip hop DJs,
999
00:56:45,768 --> 00:56:47,003
you had, like, the Invisibl
Skratch Piklz,
1000
00:56:47,103 --> 00:56:48,772
which A-Trak was part of
at the time.
1001
00:56:54,977 --> 00:56:57,113
And that was like the height
of turntablism
1002
00:56:57,213 --> 00:56:59,816
in terms of, like, what Echelon and
those guys were playing at.
1003
00:57:08,924 --> 00:57:11,828
But I think it was what you would
have expected at the time,
1004
00:57:11,928 --> 00:57:14,664
it was the
festival friendly versions
1005
00:57:14,764 --> 00:57:16,199
of what was going on
in hip hop.
1006
00:57:16,299 --> 00:57:18,001
Well, I'd like to know
1007
00:57:18,101 --> 00:57:19,502
If you got the notion
1008
00:57:19,602 --> 00:57:21,671
'Cause we're number one
1009
00:57:21,771 --> 00:57:23,740
I'm not tryin' to say my style
is better than yours
1010
00:57:23,840 --> 00:57:25,642
I'm just on
some other shit
1011
00:57:25,742 --> 00:57:27,644
I'm all about the beats
and the lyrics
1012
00:57:27,744 --> 00:57:28,812
So when you hear it
you can feel it
1013
00:57:28,912 --> 00:57:30,847
The vibe is energized...
1014
00:57:30,947 --> 00:57:33,216
RAYMOND And there was all this
alternative or underground
1015
00:57:33,316 --> 00:57:35,585
or backpack hip hop
or, you know,
1016
00:57:35,685 --> 00:57:37,720
really like college hip hop.
1017
00:57:37,820 --> 00:57:39,556
'Cause we take it back
like Robbin Loxly
1018
00:57:39,656 --> 00:57:40,757
Rockin' from
country sides to spots
1019
00:57:40,857 --> 00:57:42,592
Where hard rocks be
1020
00:57:42,692 --> 00:57:43,960
RAYMOND If you really were
to get into, like,
1021
00:57:44,060 --> 00:57:45,862
culture and groups,
1022
00:57:45,962 --> 00:57:49,132
the fans of that hip hop
were
1023
00:57:49,232 --> 00:57:50,700
I don't know if there
was majority white,
1024
00:57:50,800 --> 00:57:52,902
but it was largely white.
1025
00:57:53,002 --> 00:57:58,842
Um, and way more over
represented than...
1026
00:57:58,942 --> 00:58:02,579
southern hip hop
or like, you know,
1027
00:58:02,679 --> 00:58:06,216
Wu Tang inspired, like,
east coast hip hop,
1028
00:58:06,316 --> 00:58:08,952
uh, and gangster rap
and everything.
1029
00:58:09,052 --> 00:58:12,689
That hip hop had a large
black fan base.
1030
00:58:12,789 --> 00:58:14,891
Motherfucker comin' straight
outta Compton
1031
00:58:14,991 --> 00:58:16,826
Crazy motherfucker
named Ice Cube
1032
00:58:16,926 --> 00:58:19,028
From the gang called Niggaz
With Attitudes
1033
00:58:19,128 --> 00:58:20,663
When I'm called off
1034
00:58:20,763 --> 00:58:21,898
It wasn't that Goldenvoice
1035
00:58:21,998 --> 00:58:23,600
didn't have history
doing hip hop.
1036
00:58:23,700 --> 00:58:27,003
You know, Goldenvoice had done
early NWA concerts.
1037
00:58:27,103 --> 00:58:29,038
It was a situation where
1038
00:58:29,138 --> 00:58:31,808
you know, rap music was
getting a black eye,
1039
00:58:31,908 --> 00:58:34,277
you know,
everywhere you looked.
1040
00:58:34,377 --> 00:58:36,880
Like, nobody wanted to have
anything to do with rap.
1041
00:58:36,980 --> 00:58:38,715
Yeah, I mean, hip hop
1042
00:58:38,815 --> 00:58:41,818
in Southern California in the
'80s was hard to place.
1043
00:58:41,918 --> 00:58:43,920
Uh, there was some violence
associated with it,
1044
00:58:44,020 --> 00:58:46,623
and many venues didn't
want to book it,
1045
00:58:46,723 --> 00:58:49,759
so that is code for
call Goldenvoice.
1046
00:58:49,859 --> 00:58:52,161
RAYMOND So the festival promoters
1047
00:58:52,261 --> 00:58:54,731
had a history
with doing hip hop,
1048
00:58:54,831 --> 00:58:58,535
but the festival setting itself
and festival culture was
1049
00:58:58,635 --> 00:59:02,672
you know, was not as multicultural
as it is today.
1050
00:59:05,742 --> 00:59:08,011
I mean, what's the template
for music festivals?
1051
00:59:08,111 --> 00:59:10,146
Woodstock.
1052
00:59:10,246 --> 00:59:13,316
There were not many people
of color at that show.
1053
00:59:13,416 --> 00:59:15,051
There were a handful,
1054
00:59:15,151 --> 00:59:17,186
but if you see the movie,
1055
00:59:17,286 --> 00:59:18,321
it's white girls
with flower crowns
1056
00:59:18,421 --> 00:59:20,089
and white guys with long hair.
1057
00:59:21,957 --> 00:59:23,826
So when you think festival,
that's what you think,
1058
00:59:23,926 --> 00:59:25,295
and, you know, you could
lose sight about
1059
00:59:25,395 --> 00:59:27,797
how important that iconography
is to people
1060
00:59:27,897 --> 00:59:30,934
in determining what they do and
how they celebrate music.
1061
00:59:34,070 --> 00:59:37,674
So it took a while for
culture to merge.
1062
00:59:37,774 --> 00:59:41,311
And over time, it took, like, early
acts to kind of break through,
1063
00:59:41,411 --> 00:59:44,614
so if you look at the evolution
of hip hop early days,
1064
00:59:44,714 --> 00:59:47,750
it was everybody that fit
into that indie realm.
1065
00:59:47,850 --> 00:59:51,888
And then mid 2000s you had
the flirtations with some
of those bigger acts,
1066
00:59:51,988 --> 00:59:54,791
and ones that offered
a bit of crossover,
1067
00:59:54,891 --> 00:59:57,360
uh, the biggest one, of
course, being Kanye.
1068
01:00:10,739 --> 01:00:12,942
I was at Coachella that year,
1069
01:00:13,042 --> 01:00:15,011
'cause I played with Kanye.
1070
01:00:15,111 --> 01:00:17,013
The Kanye performance was
kind of hilarious
1071
01:00:17,113 --> 01:00:21,150
because he showed up at
least 20 minutes late
1072
01:00:21,250 --> 01:00:22,352
20 to 30 minutes late.
1073
01:00:22,452 --> 01:00:25,254
So we were onstage
1074
01:00:25,354 --> 01:00:27,824
myself, the string section.
1075
01:00:29,958 --> 01:00:34,797
And it's show time, and we knew
Kanye was on his way.
1076
01:00:34,897 --> 01:00:36,933
I don't think he knew
about the traffic
1077
01:00:37,033 --> 01:00:39,669
between L.A. and Indio,
1078
01:00:39,769 --> 01:00:42,138
specifically during a
day of Coachella.
1079
01:00:43,406 --> 01:00:45,008
Please believe...
1080
01:00:50,146 --> 01:00:51,314
And long story short,
1081
01:00:51,414 --> 01:00:53,249
he showed up halfway
into the set.
1082
01:00:53,349 --> 01:00:56,919
And at a festival like Coachella,
there's no wiggle room.
1083
01:00:57,019 --> 01:00:59,188
It can't be like, "Okay, well, you
can go over a half hour."
1084
01:00:59,288 --> 01:01:00,990
'Cause someone else has
a set right after.
1085
01:01:01,090 --> 01:01:03,826
So he played a shortened set.
1086
01:01:03,926 --> 01:01:07,363
Throw your diamonds in the sky
if you feel the vibe
1087
01:01:07,463 --> 01:01:09,298
Forever
1088
01:01:09,398 --> 01:01:12,268
The Roc is still alive
every time I rhyme
1089
01:01:12,368 --> 01:01:15,238
Forever ever, forever ever,
ever ever
1090
01:01:15,338 --> 01:01:17,240
I mean, Kanye was always
Kanye, right,
1091
01:01:17,340 --> 01:01:19,208
but when he first came out,
1092
01:01:19,308 --> 01:01:21,944
he was considered in that
more backpack realm.
1093
01:01:22,044 --> 01:01:24,414
After debris settles and the
dust gets swept off
1094
01:01:24,514 --> 01:01:27,083
Big K pick up where young
Hov left off
1095
01:01:27,183 --> 01:01:29,419
Right when magazines wrote
Kanye West off
1096
01:01:29,519 --> 01:01:32,088
I dropped my new shit, it
sound like the best of
1097
01:01:32,188 --> 01:01:34,724
A&R lookin' like,
"Pssh, we messed up
1098
01:01:34,824 --> 01:01:36,826
Grammy night, damn right,
we get dressed up
1099
01:01:36,926 --> 01:01:39,862
Bottle after bottle till
we get next, uh
1100
01:01:39,962 --> 01:01:42,065
Yeah, he next up
1101
01:01:42,165 --> 01:01:44,033
It took artists like that
1102
01:01:44,133 --> 01:01:46,803
that were kind of, like, the testing
grounds for hip-hop
1103
01:01:46,903 --> 01:01:48,371
at the festival.
1104
01:01:48,471 --> 01:01:50,473
You couldn't have just jumped
forward and put
1105
01:01:50,573 --> 01:01:53,242
I mean, Lil Wayne was big
in the mid-2000s.
1106
01:01:53,342 --> 01:01:56,946
Jay-Z was big in the mid-2000s.
It was too early for that.
1107
01:01:59,282 --> 01:02:01,951
Power to make a diamond
with his bare hands
1108
01:02:05,320 --> 01:02:07,457
...if you feel the vibe
1109
01:02:07,557 --> 01:02:09,125
Come on, come on
1110
01:02:09,225 --> 01:02:11,194
Roc is still alive
every time I rhyme
1111
01:02:11,294 --> 01:02:13,029
Forever ever
1112
01:02:13,129 --> 01:02:14,397
Ever ever
1113
01:02:14,497 --> 01:02:16,866
Ever ever, ever ever,
ever ever
1114
01:02:16,966 --> 01:02:18,868
Ever ever, ever ever
1115
01:02:18,968 --> 01:02:20,236
Ever ever,
ever ever
1116
01:02:20,336 --> 01:02:23,372
Ever ever, ever ever,
ever ever
1117
01:02:27,510 --> 01:02:31,047
I look at every demographic,
like, man, hopefully I
get the college kids,
1118
01:02:31,147 --> 01:02:33,883
I wanna get the girls,
the little kids,
1119
01:02:33,983 --> 01:02:37,086
the older people, the niggas
from the streets,
1120
01:02:37,186 --> 01:02:38,921
backpackers.
1121
01:02:39,021 --> 01:02:40,089
-All that.
-You know?
1122
01:02:42,458 --> 01:02:44,193
Kanye! Kanye! Kanye!
1123
01:02:46,862 --> 01:02:48,364
-We gotta go?
-Yeah.
1124
01:02:48,464 --> 01:02:50,099
-We gotta go?
-Yeah, man.
1125
01:02:50,199 --> 01:02:51,768
-We can't sing one more?
1126
01:02:51,868 --> 01:02:53,870
A-TRAK! A-TRAK!
1127
01:02:53,970 --> 01:02:56,038
He can't do it, man.
1128
01:02:56,138 --> 01:02:58,174
I'm sorry, brother.
1129
01:02:58,274 --> 01:03:00,910
Well, it was the time when,
you know,
1130
01:03:01,010 --> 01:03:02,912
we had these artists
1131
01:03:03,012 --> 01:03:05,481
that were just blowing
up pretty quick.
1132
01:03:17,125 --> 01:03:20,396
M.I.A., she was great,
1133
01:03:20,496 --> 01:03:23,533
because she worked up
the stages.
1134
01:03:23,633 --> 01:03:28,171
And every stage was crazy
every time.
1135
01:03:33,308 --> 01:03:36,846
First time I ever played a
festival was Coachella.
1136
01:03:36,946 --> 01:03:38,514
That's my first festival ever.
1137
01:03:43,085 --> 01:03:47,256
From my recollection, the next big
thing was probably Jay-Z.
1138
01:03:49,458 --> 01:03:51,060
Well, what happened is,
1139
01:03:51,160 --> 01:03:53,029
we were promoting a festival
back in New York,
1140
01:03:53,129 --> 01:03:54,964
and Beastie Boys
were headlining it.
1141
01:03:55,064 --> 01:03:56,566
And we'd already had Beasties
at Coachella before.
1142
01:03:56,666 --> 01:03:58,334
And it was just so good.
1143
01:03:58,434 --> 01:04:01,404
Well, now, don't you
tell me to smile
1144
01:04:01,504 --> 01:04:03,406
You stick around I'll make
it worth your while
1145
01:04:03,506 --> 01:04:05,474
My number's beyond
what you can dial
1146
01:04:08,077 --> 01:04:10,346
Some could say that's the first
hip-hop headliner.
1147
01:04:10,446 --> 01:04:12,849
But others, they were rock,
they were punk rock,
1148
01:04:12,949 --> 01:04:14,217
they were all these
different genres.
1149
01:04:14,317 --> 01:04:16,285
I run the marathon to
the very last mile
1150
01:04:16,385 --> 01:04:19,889
They certainly paved the way for
future hip-hop headliners.
1151
01:04:19,989 --> 01:04:22,525
You've got gall,
you've got guile
1152
01:04:22,625 --> 01:04:24,994
Step to me,
I'm a rap-o-phile
1153
01:04:25,094 --> 01:04:28,231
So we had Beastie Boys on this
festival in New York,
1154
01:04:28,331 --> 01:04:30,333
but they had to cancel.
1155
01:04:30,433 --> 01:04:33,870
So we got Jay-Z to fill in.
And when he came out,
1156
01:04:33,970 --> 01:04:36,239
he went straight into "No
Sleep Till Brooklyn."
1157
01:04:36,339 --> 01:04:38,007
No sleep till
1158
01:04:47,582 --> 01:04:50,119
Foot on the pedal, never
ever false metal
1159
01:04:50,219 --> 01:04:52,521
Engine running hotter than
a boiling kettle
1160
01:04:52,621 --> 01:04:54,991
My job ain't a job, it's
a pretty good time
1161
01:04:55,091 --> 01:04:57,059
City to city, I'm running
out of rhymes
1162
01:04:57,159 --> 01:05:00,129
On location,
tour around the nation
1163
01:05:00,229 --> 01:05:02,531
Beastie Boys
never on vacation
1164
01:05:02,631 --> 01:05:05,167
And it was awesome.
1165
01:05:05,267 --> 01:05:07,303
Do what I do 'cause I'm
willing and able
1166
01:05:07,403 --> 01:05:11,073
I'm like, wow, Jay-z is that
is that good live?
1167
01:05:11,173 --> 01:05:13,576
Allow me
to reintroduce myself
1168
01:05:13,676 --> 01:05:15,344
My name is Hov
1169
01:05:15,444 --> 01:05:17,079
H to the O-V
1170
01:05:17,179 --> 01:05:19,315
I used to move snowflakes
by the O-Z
1171
01:05:19,415 --> 01:05:22,018
So we grabbed him
for Coachella.
1172
01:05:22,118 --> 01:05:25,021
CEO of the R-O-C
1173
01:05:25,121 --> 01:05:27,156
Fresh out the fryin'
pan, into the fire
1174
01:05:27,256 --> 01:05:30,159
I be the music biz number
one supplier
1175
01:05:30,259 --> 01:05:32,561
Flyer than a piece of paper
bearing my name
1176
01:05:32,661 --> 01:05:35,298
Got the hottest chick in the game
wearing my chain, that's right
1177
01:05:35,398 --> 01:05:38,634
2010, Jay-z, that was like
a big breakout.
1178
01:05:38,734 --> 01:05:41,570
Fans were totally ready for it.
1179
01:05:41,670 --> 01:05:43,706
They were ready for it
musically.
1180
01:05:43,806 --> 01:05:45,975
They were ready
for his presence.
1181
01:05:48,310 --> 01:05:51,380
They were ready for the show to take
on hip-hop at that scale.
1182
01:05:51,480 --> 01:05:54,216
Let me tell you dudes what
I do to protect this
1183
01:05:54,316 --> 01:05:58,487
I shoot at you actors like
movie directors
1184
01:05:58,587 --> 01:06:00,423
I think it was only
a matter of time
1185
01:06:00,523 --> 01:06:02,458
because everybody just thinks
that rap is cool.
1186
01:06:02,558 --> 01:06:04,093
Rap is cool. There's nothing
cooler than rap.
1187
01:06:04,193 --> 01:06:06,963
Rap is the coolest music ever.
1188
01:06:09,131 --> 01:06:12,001
Any kid that you catch walking
down the street
1189
01:06:12,101 --> 01:06:13,669
or driving down the street,
whatever,
1190
01:06:13,769 --> 01:06:15,504
they know Lil Wayne records,
they know Jay-Z records,
1191
01:06:15,604 --> 01:06:16,605
they know Kanye records.
1192
01:06:20,409 --> 01:06:23,145
Kanye came back in 2011
1193
01:06:23,245 --> 01:06:25,548
with an incredible
1194
01:06:25,648 --> 01:06:27,717
theater of a performance.
1195
01:06:27,817 --> 01:06:29,285
Broke yet new ground.
1196
01:06:30,752 --> 01:06:32,989
First time I went to Coachella,
1197
01:06:33,089 --> 01:06:36,092
Kanye had invited me the first
time to Coachella.
1198
01:06:36,192 --> 01:06:38,361
And I went,
and I had a great night.
1199
01:06:38,461 --> 01:06:41,163
It was
When I seen his show, actually
1200
01:06:41,263 --> 01:06:43,499
At that time, that was the
best hip-hop show
1201
01:06:43,599 --> 01:06:45,067
I ever seen in my life.
1202
01:07:01,249 --> 01:07:03,652
I'm living in
that 21st century
1203
01:07:03,752 --> 01:07:05,654
Doing something mean to it
1204
01:07:05,754 --> 01:07:08,491
Do it better than anybody
you ever seen do it
1205
01:07:08,591 --> 01:07:11,727
Scream from the haters,
got a nice ring to it
1206
01:07:11,827 --> 01:07:14,730
I guess every superhero
need his theme music
1207
01:07:14,830 --> 01:07:18,167
No one man should
have all that power
1208
01:07:18,267 --> 01:07:21,303
The clocks ticking, I just
count the hours
1209
01:07:21,403 --> 01:07:23,105
Just the way he took that stage
1210
01:07:23,205 --> 01:07:25,708
and took over that stage,
1211
01:07:25,808 --> 01:07:27,043
it was hip-hop as art.
1212
01:07:36,184 --> 01:07:37,219
And they say
1213
01:07:39,254 --> 01:07:40,656
And they say
1214
01:07:40,756 --> 01:07:42,324
And they say
1215
01:07:42,424 --> 01:07:43,626
And we say
1216
01:07:43,726 --> 01:07:45,094
And they say
1217
01:07:45,194 --> 01:07:46,729
And they say
1218
01:07:46,829 --> 01:07:49,265
And they say
1219
01:07:49,365 --> 01:07:52,168
21st Century schizoid man
1220
01:07:55,905 --> 01:07:58,207
To do it
in that festival setting
1221
01:07:58,307 --> 01:08:02,078
was just one more step
in that march
1222
01:08:02,178 --> 01:08:05,748
towards just
the unstoppable beast
1223
01:08:05,848 --> 01:08:08,284
that would become, like,
the headliners.
1224
01:08:15,924 --> 01:08:17,693
That year we had Arcade Fire
1225
01:08:17,793 --> 01:08:20,096
which did the incredible
ball drop.
1226
01:08:23,431 --> 01:08:25,701
Awesome concept, beautifully
executed.
1227
01:08:25,801 --> 01:08:30,172
But there are few bands that can
even, like, bring that.
1228
01:08:30,272 --> 01:08:34,243
The rock headliners of those years
had a harder time keeping up.
1229
01:08:36,645 --> 01:08:41,417
That was the first year where we started
livestreaming on YouTube.
1230
01:08:41,517 --> 01:08:44,787
That was the thing that got
us across the world.
1231
01:08:44,887 --> 01:08:46,689
It really was shocking.
1232
01:08:46,789 --> 01:08:49,191
You know, now all these different
countries are coming.
1233
01:08:53,261 --> 01:08:55,464
There was so much demand
that year.
1234
01:08:55,564 --> 01:08:57,666
More than 100,000 people
were shut out.
1235
01:08:59,701 --> 01:09:01,237
Thought about all these people
1236
01:09:01,337 --> 01:09:03,539
who didn't get to go
to Coachella.
1237
01:09:05,974 --> 01:09:07,510
You know, he has a lot of ideas.
1238
01:09:07,610 --> 01:09:11,347
And I remember when
he said to me,
1239
01:09:11,447 --> 01:09:14,450
"What's the only thing better
than Coachella?
1240
01:09:14,550 --> 01:09:16,218
Two Coachellas."
1241
01:09:18,853 --> 01:09:21,357
It was just such an unprecedented
move.
1242
01:09:21,457 --> 01:09:23,792
No one had a two-weekend
event like that.
1243
01:09:23,892 --> 01:09:27,563
And people thought that that was
just a selfish money grab...
1244
01:09:27,663 --> 01:09:29,198
which I can understand.
1245
01:09:29,298 --> 01:09:31,734
But it also made tons of sense,
'cause a lot of people
1246
01:09:31,834 --> 01:09:33,269
that wanted to go to the show that
couldn't go to the show.
1247
01:09:35,637 --> 01:09:37,840
I always thought about
doing two weekends.
1248
01:09:37,940 --> 01:09:40,242
But we thought, "I'm gonna
run out of headliners.
1249
01:09:40,342 --> 01:09:42,511
if it's two different sets
of music."
1250
01:09:44,913 --> 01:09:49,685
So it hit me, like, "Every single
artist needs to repeat."
1251
01:09:49,785 --> 01:09:51,587
"Wait a second. The same
artists come back
1252
01:09:51,687 --> 01:09:54,323
and play a second time
a week later?
1253
01:09:54,423 --> 01:09:56,225
That's just weird."
1254
01:09:56,325 --> 01:09:57,626
I didn't even know how they
were gonna pull that off.
1255
01:09:57,726 --> 01:10:00,663
-California love
-Come on!
1256
01:10:00,763 --> 01:10:02,831
Put your motherfuckin'
dubs in the air
1257
01:10:02,931 --> 01:10:04,700
Sing this shit!
1258
01:10:04,800 --> 01:10:06,702
California
1259
01:10:06,802 --> 01:10:09,939
-Knows how to party
-What you say?
1260
01:10:10,039 --> 01:10:15,277
It was hard to explain the two-
weekend concept to Dre,
1261
01:10:15,377 --> 01:10:18,781
'cause he didn't really know a lot
about Coachella to begin with.
1262
01:10:20,883 --> 01:10:23,219
But he knew about Burning
Man, because
1263
01:10:23,319 --> 01:10:24,653
him and Tupac bumped into it
1264
01:10:24,753 --> 01:10:26,288
when they were filming
that video.
1265
01:10:26,388 --> 01:10:27,656
It was the funniest thing.
1266
01:10:27,756 --> 01:10:28,691
The city of Compton
1267
01:10:28,791 --> 01:10:30,292
Hey, yo, Dre,
1268
01:10:30,392 --> 01:10:32,228
I think you should
welcome everybody.
1269
01:10:35,997 --> 01:10:38,400
Now, let me welcome everybody
to the wild, wild west
1270
01:10:38,500 --> 01:10:40,769
A state that's untouchable
like Eliot Ness
1271
01:10:40,869 --> 01:10:43,539
The track hits your eardrum
like a slug to your chest
1272
01:10:43,639 --> 01:10:45,874
Pack a vest for your Jimmy
in the city of sex
1273
01:10:45,974 --> 01:10:49,645
We lay out what we wanna do with
him headlining Coachella.
1274
01:10:49,745 --> 01:10:51,947
He said, "I'd like to do it,
but I got this idea
1275
01:10:52,047 --> 01:10:54,683
about like a 3-D thing
or a hologram,
1276
01:10:54,783 --> 01:10:56,619
or I got this art thing."
1277
01:10:56,719 --> 01:11:00,289
I hope this ain't people's first
show seeing a concert.
1278
01:11:00,389 --> 01:11:02,358
After this one, you probably
don't want to see it.
1279
01:11:02,458 --> 01:11:03,959
It's kind of unfair
what Dre is doing
1280
01:11:04,059 --> 01:11:06,528
to the whole Coachella
lineup on Sunday.
1281
01:11:06,628 --> 01:11:08,030
It's all I gotta say.
1282
01:11:08,130 --> 01:11:10,766
What's the surprises?
Any surprises?
1283
01:11:10,866 --> 01:11:12,701
Everybody gonna come out,
that's all I gotta say.
1284
01:11:12,801 --> 01:11:15,904
-People are gonna cry? -Yeah, people
are gonna fuckin' boo-hoo.
1285
01:11:23,778 --> 01:11:24,947
A hologram came up,
1286
01:11:25,047 --> 01:11:26,448
and it was, like,
1287
01:11:26,548 --> 01:11:27,850
"Are we supposed
to celebrate this?
1288
01:11:27,950 --> 01:11:29,018
"Or be sad?
1289
01:11:29,118 --> 01:11:30,519
"Or is this disrespectful?
1290
01:11:30,619 --> 01:11:31,854
Or is this cool?
Or, like--"
1291
01:11:31,954 --> 01:11:33,656
It was complex.
