2008 Coachella Music Festival - Day One

Finally, after all the hubub and debate of the quality of this year's Coachella lineup, the festival got underway Friday afternoon. Featuring Jack Johnson at the top of the bill, the day featured outstanding performances from the Raconteurs who proved that they aren't just Jack White's side project but rather a band that is developing their own sound and identity. The Verve, playing for the first time in nearly a decade sounded like they hadn't even missed a step. The day also featured standout performances from indie darlings Vampire Weekend as well as Tegan and Sara among others.

M.I.A. made a special guest appearance for Diplo's remix of Paper Planes on Friday night, not sure if you got a chance to catch that.

Dan Deacon & Datarock really stood out Friday for me.
