they sounded prety good and were realy into it,

inbetwen songs banters were untolably cringe, forced and more cringe than ever, tom realy needs 2 simmer down there

 

only good one was when he said "fuck cancel culture" that was good

Yeah the banter was cringe

[allsystemsgo]

With the strides that AI voices have made in such little time, you'd think autotune would have reached the point of being less robotic, unless that's the sound they were going for?

[hammerpipe]

Wow. Didn’t expect to be so moved by seeing the boys on stage together again. Had the tears of joy thing going on. And to think this is not a legacy act. We’re getting a brand new album very soon... Fuck me!

[The Watcher]

When was the last time they had banter between every song? Even before the Skiba era, it felt like they’d play 4 songs, stop for a second to say “hi, we’re blink-182”, and then just power through 3-4 more songs before saying anything else. Last night was some MT&TS shit. Fucking awesome.

I feel sorry for the good chats guy who thinks it’s cringe. Actually no, I don’t.

[Nosferatu]

I'll have to re-listen to the autotune cause I was too busy vibing to listen out for shit like that

I watched from around 2.45am until about 4ish, I watched the whole show anyway

That was the best blink have sounded since 2004. I was worried about Tom's new guitars but they sound better than his Gibsons. Mark's singing is awesome again. The backing tracks were low in the mix the way they should be except on the more piano based songs like Down & I Miss You, which is understandable for them kinda songs

It wasn't the perfect performance but it's blink. It never has to be perfect. They fucking ROCKED. Loved the banter. Tom had some hilarious moments. Loved his part with the guitar guy when swapping guitars and he asked "Who are you? Do you work here?" Dunno why I found that part so hilarious but I just did

Was nice hearing some of the Enema/Take Off songs that they hadn't played frequently since the first reunion.

Mark was having the time of his life. Loved seeing the guy so happy after everything he's been through. blink for life

I just hope Tom doesn't get blink cancelled in 2023 with his antics in between songs ?

Seeing Aliens Exist and Dysentery Gary back in the set list made me happy. Hope those two stick for tour.

[Thomas D.]

The best part of Dysentary Gary is that if you don’t know the lyrics, you can’t understand a single word Tom is singing in the verses lol

[Dylan_]

That footage we got of them before they went on stage was epic. Something I thought I would never see! Mark and Tom looked so happy together. 

[Jane]

okay I'm glad Alien's exist is back and it sounded pretty great too. Nice to hear Tom and Mark's harmonies again!

[b00bies]

Man, feels unreal, so happy. ?

[boxelder]

straight up actually crying watching some of this footage this AM. mark looks SO happy, esp during the miss you breakdown. they sound SO good. the pre-show footage is classic. this could not have gone better. what an awesome setlist too. i hope they play next weekend too, any indication on that yet?

the official stream was 1080p, but the uploaded vids from coachella are in glorious 4k.

having backing track for a rock band is extremly gay, id tell them strait up they're pussies for using backing tracks

But you accept anything they have to do in studio to sound ok, right?

 

[OrganGrinderX182]

Really really loved this set, teared up a few times for sure, you could tell how relaxed and settled in they were, it was nice to see someone play the guitar parts and not labor over them. Tom plays what looks like effortlessly and adds all those cool little touches. I miss you was spot on. second only to pepsi smash. his guitar setup /tone was sick. mark didnt try to shut tom up. they were acting like bros right before they went on

 

this is the Blink 182 we deserved after the first reunion, but im glad they are most clearly in a good place now.

[bojangles]

I seriously give Tom and Mark both an A+ in their performances, the best they both ever sounded since before the 09 reunion. I'm super pumped for May 20th now

[boxelder]

acclaim across the board FWIW -- lots of folks enjoyed this performance

Over the last two decades, Coachella has maintained its trend-setting reputation by hosting special guests, surprise sets and unexpected reunions before other fests get ahold of them. But never before have the three converged the way they did tonight [...] It’s pretty incredible that Blink, once pop-punks bubble-gum stepchild, have become genre forebears, but it’s also undeniable: the set brought together both the younger and more classic Coachella demos in a way Blackpink or even Frank Ocean are unlikely to do later this weekend. Was it a sign that rock is ripe for a Coachella comeback?

Blink-182 opened Coachella with a mesmerizing performance that blew the house down Friday ... On a scale of 1 to 10, mark this performance a thousand!!

Blink-182 performed at Coachella with Tom DeLonge for the first time in nine years, kicking up the nostalgia as they blasted through an electric, testosterone-fueled set for a massive crowd that packed in the stage area.

Today, in a surprise addition to Coachella’s weekend one schedule, the band delivered its first show since [...] the band tore threw hits like “Rock Show,” “Feelin This” and “What’s My Age Again,” which welcomed a singalong worthy of the Guinness Book of World Records as a mosh pit formed.

[Elisa]

I didn't catch this last night! Skye is our queen.

[High Value Man]

I really loved the banter before Feeling This.
 

“show ‘um you’re dick.”

Mark getting Travis to say hello.

Tom ranting about how no one can do what they do.

Mark- “here’s a music”

Tom- “how does it go?” and yelling more about how no one can do what they do. 

???

last night was just so fucking good. Felt like a kid again. ?❤️
