    Ironic because he announced four more shoes the morning after his set off the sheer strength of his performance

    Good for him, happy for the fans too

    most people would have hated either way. Some would be slightly more forgiving.

    There definitely would’ve been people still disappointed but I think they would’ve been a lot more understanding

    I don’t understand why Frank didn’t just give a brief explanation at the beginning of his set like ā€œhey had a whole thing planned, hurt my ankle, so we had to change the whole set last minuteā€. Everyone would’ve understood if he just communicated that with the audience and people would’ve gotten that they were trying to work around the problem so that’s why it ended up feeling disjointed at points

    they said in the video they were hiding the fact there was an even an ice rink from the people that were there waiting for the show, the only reason people knew is cause it leaked and he didn't want to recognise it like that

    Sure but I’m saying if you come out and say ā€œhey we had to change the entire show last minute because of an injuryā€ then the nature of the show goes over a lot better than just presenting like what we got was the plan the entire time

    I think he probably wanted to keep it under wraps and keep the mystique for next week, but it probably would've gone down better you're right

    To him I think so because what many expect of or want of him is out of scope in terms of wild set design, over the top production, new music, all the old hits off CO, NU, features, surprise guest, Endless.

    They want an organized set from an artist who hasn't toured in nearly a decade. Very few artist lifetime have had great return sets after not performing for that long I think of Daft Punk, Rage Against the Machine off the top but its very rare to have that same energy, passion and in this case not with your own freedom or audience but Coachellas

    I think if he wants to stream it he will, if he doesn’t he won’t, life has too many complex variables for internet comments of all things to be the deciding factor imo

    what we got was free lol. He owes the audience that was there an explanation though but what many of us in this thread got was free 99.

    The fact that he wasn't streaming was a big hint that something didn't go as planned . Like Bjork she likes people being there so I got it. Frank pulling stream was a hint something was wrong

    I am not just saying internet comments I think he had conflict with owners of Coachella with all this bad press its getting too so if he has the choice why would he stream for them

  • I’m interested in seeing if the main stage is still shaped like that on Friday

    if you weren't supposed to know it existed and its still planned as a surprise for next week not acknowledging it isn't mysterious imo

    she catching heat for not streaming either, check her insta comments. i fw bjork but i keep the same energy, if the tech exists to share your performance and you say no it's just classism and elitism, nothing else šŸ˜‚ i mean if Jai streamed his s*** then anyone can. this idea that streaming it somehow removes some spirit from it or something is bullshit. people are gonna record it anyway too.

    I saw Frank live in 2012 and watched videos of all of his live performances up to this point and I’ve never got this much of an unfinished vibe like this

    This truly feels like deja vu of the first Donda event

    it feels similar lol

    not streaming isn't classism and elitism

    a 46 song set from 5 months ago is up. She could easily request to take this down if she was "elitist " and "classist"

    she creates a show she wants people to be at. I personally don't think every artist should or has to be required to stream be it festival, their own personal show or album premiere. Obviously its more accessible and they should make clear what their plans are early so we know if they are streaming but they don't owe us that to me
