After half an hour of midday driving rain that sent concert-goers scrambling for cover under tents, and with the sun tentatively reappearing through the Chicago clouds above Grant Park, indie pop band Cults emerged on stage to check their microphones and, instead of the traditional "One two one two mic check one two," said this: "Fuck the rain! Fuck the rain! And fuck that church over there" -- gesturing to a cathedral that overlooks the concert grounds -- "that gave us the rain!"

"Weekend one of Coachella 2012 not only confirmed rock fans' rabid appetite for live music but reminded the music industry that the past is a lot closer than it used to be. There were no rock acts from the 1960s or early '70s on the bill. The look back was dedicated to Coachella's continuing affection for reuniting British bands from the late '70s and early '80s--this year, it was Buzzcocks, James, Madness, Pulp and Squeeze. Other reuniting bands on the bill included American alt-rock bands Firehose, Mazzy Star and At the Drive-In; and Refused, a punk group from Sweden that hadn't been heard from since 1998. One could argue that the "appearance" by the late Shakur was an admission that to become a musical force again, West Coast rap needs a resurrection. Though the beats conceived and developed by Dr. Dre, Shakur, Snoop Dogg and others are now woven into rock and pop's vocabulary, rap had little presence at Coachella 2012, save for the ingenuity of the late Sunday-night oldies show.
