when i saw the weeknd at coachella, i was underwhelmed. i felt that his mic was too low, his energy off and his stage presence minimal. but then i looked into the crowd and realized more than half of the people around me weren't even paying attention. the weird crowd vibe must have reached all the way to the stage. poor abel. at least he sounded good.
last night however displayed a much different scenario. playing side by side with the supermoon, he not only sounded unbelievable, but murdered the crowd and owned the stage. added bonus points for the byob policy of the hollywood forever cemetery (+ cinco de mayhem) which translated into a loose and incredibly hyped crowd. as if dancing in the darkness amongst headstones bigger than people wasn't already a trip, the drake cameo cemented the night's perfection.
the only bummer was that the old bosser was too ill to come out and play, but graciously gave me her tickets anyway. YOU DA BESTTTT.
till we overdose,
