I was raised in Atlanta and I instantly bought tickets to see them play their first comeback show at Coachella. It blew my mind that the Coachella crowd, while awesome welcoming people, were lukewarm about the fact that OutKast was reuniting. In Atlanta you grew up indoctrinated with OutKast we literally danced to Hey Ya in middle school physical ed.
I got to see them a few times on the comeback tour but I wish they had got tapped for the Atlanta Super Bowl halftime show instead of Maroon 5.
- crunchlibrarian 8y agoI think even Maroon 5 fans and band members would agree with you.
- debaserab2 8y agoI was at that Coachella show. It wasn't particularly great. Andre didn't even face the crowd for a significant portion of the show and performed facing away from the audience. I grew up loving Outkast too, and I still do because I recognize just how important their impact on hip-hop was, but I can't say I was blown away by the live performance.
- creaghpatr 8y agoThe Coachella show was rusty, for sure, I was exhausted from the day too so I don’t blame the crowd for the energy dropping towards the end
- debaserab2 8y agoI don't know if this is true but I think I read somewhere that andre has major performance anxiety which actually contributed to the band breakup. Either way Aquemini and Stankonia make my top 25 of albums ever made and I'd say I have pretty eclectic taste in music.
