Coachella has a history of getting bands back together and, sure 'nuff, a revamped version of the Verve took to the festival's main stage on opening night. While they sounded the same as they ever were, they mixed new songs in with old classics. Midway through the set, frontman Richard Ashcroft said, "Most bands, when they reunite, don't make new music. But that's not what this band is about. So we made some new music." Of course, most bands when they reunite also remember how to please an audience, and so the Verve delivered their hits, including, of course, 'Bittersweet Symphony.'
