The 2007 edition of Coachella is all about the reunions, with Rage Against the Machine, Crowded House and Happy Mondays among those making beautiful music together again. To that end, it only made sense that the highlight of Day One was just that -- a reunion. Enter the fighting Reid brothers, William and Jim, of the Jesus & Mary Chain.

Actress Scarlett Johanssen, dressed in multicolor splendor, joined the Reids to evoke the final scene of 'Lost in Translation' by singing 'Just Like Honey.'

"Wasn't that nice?" Jim Reid asked the crowd to massive applause afterwards.

The band, playing their first live show since 1998's disastrous House of Blues show that resulted in refunds for attendees, got sweet redemption, rocking through favorites like 'Head On,' 'Some Candy Talking' and the set-closing 'Reverence.'
