Come with us to the COACHELLA VALLEY as we experience the first ever POWER TRIP festival. Is this festival too good to be true? Can a festival keep us entertained with just a small handful of bands? Are we getting our moneys worth?
Join us this week in possibly our first NEGATIVE review all season - Power Trip 2023 could have been SO much more, but it turned out to be a corporate cash grab existing purely to line pockets at the top of the chain.

$72 for two tiny plastic cups of wine should be illegal

[@matt-ir1xq]

Literally day light robbery 😂 probably some shit £6.50 bottle aswell

[@TPD]

i was nauseous

[@tomwalsh6774]

wow

Welcome to the USA

[@Luthen66]

$20 plastic horns was somehow more of a ripoff

[@JScot92]

Unpopular opinion: there's something a bit stale about the Coachella/Power Trip site. Apart from the pretty mountains in the background, I don't get a great vibe from the place, and the drink prices are criminal. Maybe that's just me. Great video as always.

[@babygravey]

Not unpopular at all its always been dead. Just some bouji festival where everything is extortionate and the vibe isnt there 🥱

[@arealglitterb0y]

Nothing stale about it during Coachella time. Power Trip was super lackluster and as they said basically a money grab but mostly not as well produced or thought out as Coachella. Also keep in mind it’s year one if they are planning on making it an annual thing

[@jeffgordonsmom1730]

Those mountains are truly amazing, especially at dusk/dawn but seriously criminal drink prices

[@jeffgordonsmom1730]

​@arealglitterb0y Coachella is bunch of bands etc etc etc, powertrip was about seeing 6 major bands playing full sets. Not the same!!!

Even if your festival experience wasn't the best (not even close), this video was an immensely entertaining experience for me as a viewer. Once again. There's a reason why this is simply the best channel on KZbin. As for the Devil's Horns contest, Varley is my winner. Classic execution. Looks so confident, like a seasoned (maybe 60-something) rock star. Rested, yet still 100% purposeful. Rob a close second, delivering true metal intensity and intention - pinky maybe a bit too close to the adjacent finger, though. Mary had the most "evil-looking" delivery, I'm guessing she put some extra tension into it.

[@petebarbarino2590]

First of all I'm old school 53 year old dude, I just found you guys, and I'm living vicariously through you guys, I'm having such a good time having a few drinks watching your videos, I love it... thank you from the states👍👍💯💯

I saw ACDC 15 years ago and it's a show I will absolutely never forget. Those guys are absolutely amazing and have unbelievable energy.

[@nutria.rozalie]

I enjoy every video, always, as it makes me feel I am there, too! This time I felt like I was in a corporate festival, too. It's also the time for you all to take a rest, as so many festivals can take a toll on your health, and focus on planning and financing the next year. Catch a breath, reinforce yourselves, and prepare for an epic 2024. I am also going to pretty much the same festivals as yours, but not as many, and even a small amount of these feels like an insane effort, I cannot imagine how you do it, but I guess it's the passion, just take care of yourselves!

[@TPD]

we've been resting for a month! thanks for the comment and the love xx

Its time for them to go Australia for the concert circuit now!!

Hi I'm the daughter

[@ledhed5553]

This is some great shit everyone. I was there and had a blast. 🎉 How you pulled off documenting the entire Trip while partying like rocker’s is a noble feat indeed 👊 I’ve been waiting 42 years to see AC/DC again and it was SO FUCKIN worth it🙌 I’d pay a lot to see them again 😈⚡️🎸🔔

[@bcaliber7028]

TPD @ Power Trip?!!!! What a treat! I wanted to go so bad, but I could not financially justify it. Seeing the boys & Mary go was the next best thing. I already assumed what you guys thought of PT when I saw the thumbnail. I feel a little better about not being able to go after seeing your experience. Anyhoo, please keep the great content flowing!

[@TPD]

you only missed a great acdc, the rest was meh!

[@Twobrainss]

I got the tickets from winning a raffle and I 100% agree with you all! I thought it was just me who felt it was soulless. Y’all are troopers!🤘🏼

[@smarsh7727]

The highlight for me was the escaping palm tree the trees know best 😂😂😂

[@emirepresa9500]

Love your content! About the British titans you got to see, and as a big Maiden fan, I don’t think any Maiden fan would argue about what you said on praising Judas Priest. To me both are right up there. About, Priest’s sound… come on, thou shall not complain about their decibels and Halford’s pitch. That’s house specialty! About Maiden set list, while a few found it boring, I believe is a GEM of a set list. We all thought we were going to die without ever listening Alexander live. They gave us that, and caught somewhere in time and stranger in a strange land and prisoner and so many more this tour. We are blessed!!

[@elimarsilvanikock7818]

Yeah man they are my all time favorites

[@scottlowe7343]

I'm a huge Maiden fan. And yeah the current set starts with quite a few new songs from the newest album but finishes strong. But yeah if it were there own show it'd be somewhere like $40 for a GA lawn ticket. Which you're definitely getting your money's worth because Maiden always are great and bring an awesome stage production. Being a festival they should really be playing all the hits.

[@jamesredfearn6857]

Yesss so glad you went as I was so curious to see what this festival was like. Great vid lads. Heavy metal babaaay 🤘🤘

[@MegaPedro1975]

😢I’m so happy!! Just what we all needed 💙👏🏻

[@lasserchris]

Great vid, highly entertaining. I'm a 52 year old American living the last 25 years in Germany and have been to my share of concerts and festivals(starting with Maiden in '87) and would loved to have attended Power Trip. However, what shocks me about US festivals compared to European(or at least German) ones is the insane price gouging that goes on. 70 bucks for a couple drinks? Almost 30 for a burger? Ferris Wheel 12? I live on the border to Switzerland and even there you can get a beer for 7 bucks and it's one of the most expensive countries in the world. You literally need 1200/ person for a 3 day event in the States and you only get the cheap seats! I see comments like "if you don't like the price, don't go", etc but back in the 80's/90's EVERYBODY could afford to attend a festival and not have to sell their gold fillings after. Even in Europe today (example Rock am Ring in Germany) tickts run 400 Euro these days, but you can get up front if you go early enough or sit where you want if you buy seating. Anyway, just my old man rant. Loved the vid, gave me a great peek into what the fest was about, so cheers to all of you.

[@axelvnk]

I'm from Belgium and I'm also stunned by this, i mean i can survive 1 day on a festival site with about 100 euro for food and drinks here and then i basically have a drink in my hand the entire time

[@lasserchris]

@@axelvnk Yeah, it gets me everytime I see that someone at a concert in the States pays 15 bucks for a CAN of some shitty beer like Bud. That goes above and beyond a price mark up for profit.

[@onlycheese9491]

I live in Switzerland and thought prices can't shock me anymore, but I can not believe 40 dollars for a drink at the festival, mind-blowing! Even a fancy cocktail at the bar of a five start hotel here doesn't cost 40 dollars. It gotta be made with exclusive alcohol for example to cost that much. Can't imagine paying 40 for some shit in a plastic glass in an ugly ass sport bar. These prices are shameless to say the least!

[@leethomas255]

Hello, that's true about the 80's, my first festival was MOR in Donington (now called Download), in the UK, I had an amazing day, and paid no more than £30, including the return bus from Swansea to Donington, it was epic. I stopped going to festivals, UK or Europe after 1999, as their far too expensive. Ive watched many since then, but to this day the best Metal / Thrash mini festival was the FIRST Clash of The Titans in Birmingham, the atmosphere was amazing, no violence or bad vibes, just hundreds of Moshers. Bring back the 80's & 90's.

[@Ninasheehy]

Whoooo happu to see you back missed you guys 🎉🙌🏻

[@chrislippingwell3587]

Thank You For the experience :) Super excited that You got to see all the venues and let Your fans Know what to expect for future festivals, And Mary Rocks :)

24:38 - The palm tree was the best bit

[@aoropeza1234]

Thank you guys for the video; you are all personally unique & great. I attended the event & tent-camped on site (I'm U.S. American) Sentimentally, you pretty much nailed everything. The number of international metal fans in attendance and tent-camping on site was astounding & very kindred. AC\DC absolutely blew everyone else away. The economic hardship on your average concert-goer today was in full effect and reflected in the attendance numbers and consumption prices there. As a 57 year-old, who has pretty much any act I want to see, this is my last big venue concert I will ever see. Small clubs & casino event locations will be it for me going forward. Keep up the good work & KEEP ON ROCKIN! ( I subscribed to your channel for infotainment purposes!) \m/

[@Tatted-ne7tu]

American here, haven't been to s festival since Ozzfest stopped coming to Texas. Thanks so much for giving us a glimpse into Power Trip. And a big RESPECT to you all for picking up the trash in your area. That says a lot about your character and what kind of people you are. As for the fkn partying you all did, shit I felt drunk just watching. WELL DONE MATES.... Your newest fan, Subbed.

[@alibi]

Just watched throughout. I get the Maiden criticism, but their catalogue is so deep. As a fan, this set has been incredible and I'm glad to hear that you were at least impressed by their ability.

[@emirepresa9500]

Agree!!! Best set list in years ! YEARS!!!!!

[@grumpybear123]

I saw them in Detroit a year ago and they were amazing.

[@Dyna-mite154]

Just the casual Maiden bash from these guys. Completely lost me at the Muse comment.

[@timothysmith2042]

These guys are clearly not Maiden fans. Maiden was on their Future Past tour at the time, specifically focused on overlooked songs, mainly from the Somewhere In Time album, as voted on by fans. I don't know how hard it is for them to switch things up on the fly, but they probably should have played a broader best of Maiden setlist for this festival. But from the snippets they showed here, the band sounded great!

[@mirekkkwtf]

Love this video, enjoyed the part where Dan talks about being in a group where 2 are in internet cafe and 2 talking about macOS :D Rock'n'roll baby

[@PapaV78]

Great vid Rob as always. I actually enjoyed seeing more of the edit with the music content this time given the massive lineup and the ticket value thing after each band was brilliant. No crazy adventures but more coming in the future.

[@ColtonFromTexas]

Makes my heart happy to hear that you enjoyed Guns N’ Roses! My absolute favorite band of all time. Thanks for the content!

[@dinibo]

Yeah man you should try Blue Ridge Rock Festival it was so good this year.

Totally agree what you said about Priest being under appreciated compared to Maiden, Rob Halford vocals are insane even still at his Age.

[@emirepresa9500]

I never got that. I think any maiden fan would have the utmost respect for priest. And as a maiden fan I admit both are equally UP there

[@Trevenclaw]

I was also at Power Trip. My friend and I had a slightly different experience because we stayed in a hotel away from the festival grounds that had a pool and stuff, but this is a spot-on assessment of the festival experience. The music aspect of the show was amazing. I still can't believe how good Judas Priest was. But it was so hot that and there was so little to do during the day that by the time the music started everyone was absolutely exhausted. Guns N Roses played WAY too long. Around 11:30 you could FEEL the energy leave the crowd and they played for almost two more hours after that. Day One was so exhausting that we never really recovered for the other two days. For nights two and three my friend and I ended up buying lounge chairs and sitting at the back of the field just relaxing because we did not have the energy to stand. Everything was insanely expensive and the lines for everything were long. The lines for the merch tent were unlike anything I've ever seen. We bought mech on night one and it took an hour and it was like that no matter when you showed up. Even at the end of the weekend after Metallica left the stage there was still an hour-long line at the merch tent. Insanity. That said, it was a once-in-a-lifetime lineup and experience! I do hope they do another Power Trip and work out some of the kinks. And now that I know what to expect I'll make my own adjustments and I'm sure it'll be a much better experience.

Got to agree, AC/DC is still the best band I’ve ever seen live in 25 years of going to see wish list bands. There have been more meaningful gigs and probably gigs like Foo Fighters where I’ve had to wait for years to finally get to see them and it’s been epic. But AC/DC are the daddy’s, just something about them that you can only appreciate that next level live energy and it just makes you feel high for days after. Proper proper. Glad you guys ticked them off as well, do wonder if we will ever get chance to see them in the UK again but if they do sneak one last set in, see you there….

[@MiataManDan]

Agreed AC/DC are incredible live probably the best live band I’ve ever seen they are a proper rock band

[@TPD]

[@shirleyac12]

I first saw them at Donington . It was for those about to rock tour. Saw them about 5 yrs ago at Wembley too. Brian made a guest appearance at Reading with Muse. He stole the show. Best live band ever . And I’ve seen so many bands to choose from .

Great video. We did it differently - stayed in a hotel and got the shuttle bus in each day about 4pm after hiking in Joshua National Park or relaxing by the pool. It was a completely different experience to you and we really, really enjoyed it, especially ACDC.

[@MeganNicolee1]

Whenever they do festivals at the polo grounds that aren’t Coachella they don’t ever fill out the space as much as Coachella. There’s no art installation and the vibes are always just like “ooh” . I think if they bring back powertrip they need to add more bands to make the price worth it and go all out. As a local love seeing you guys come out to the desert again 🫶🏼

Really enjoyed watching your video! Even for someone who lives in the States, logistically it can be hard to plan for that show. I held back on Power Trip because of how crazy high prices were, especially how far away GA is from the stage. It’s a shame that the vibe seemed off. I went to Louder Than Life in Kentucky this year, crowds were mad and if you took the energy from that crowd to Power Trip then I bet the vibe would’ve been awesome! I also like your concert bucket list… and based off it I’ve also seen 2 acts from it: RATM and 50 Cent, both are a blast! Keep up the great content!

[@brownale1000]

Great video folks bloody love your seltzers 😂😂 yes that line up looks stellar, B has best horns 72 fookin dollars unreal,

[@drfisto8212]

Great video you guys are awesome! Cheers from KC!

[@BradStratton91]

Really enjoyed the video gang! As someone who considers Maiden to be their favourite band, it's a shame it wasn't for you this time round but I get it. Their current touring cycle is absolutely one for the diehards - some songs they haven't played since before I was born ('91), and a song like Alexander The Great they'd never played live before that fans have been waiting to hear at a show for nearly 40 years - and they are one of those bands don't switch up the setlist. I think you would have liked the previous tour (Legacy of the Beast) more as it had more of the Hits, just bad luck that Power Trip booked them on this cycle. Can't say I'm surprised that festival vets like you lot found it a meh experience. It absolutely has the vibe of being a cash grab for the older crowd who would never go see smaller bands at your local pub or even academy venue, but their one gig a year would be a big one like Metallica or GNR. 6 of those size bands in one place over 3 days is heaven for them, but absolutely not my bag. Give me 20-30 bands I love over 3 days at Trees or Bloodstock every time!

[@TPD]

that's what we paid for

[@ettio]

@@TPD Nope, you could have known Maiden would play these songs because that's what they announced a year ago...... a tour with 5 songs from Somewhere in Time and 5 songs from the latest album. I really can't understand you people, always wanna to hear number of the beast, two minutes.... all those songs Maiden have been playing over and over again.

[@roygrafton6344]

Do your research! Maiden said what tracks were playing. And Maiden sounded way better anyway. At least the guys we were with thought and they were GnR rockers. GNR set so long cos Axl needed big breaks. Your entitled to your opinion of course. But the vibe I got Maiden were and are better.

[@DanianDays]

Hope you do 'When we were young' on the next week. 🤘😎🤘

[@svenvm4080]

How I've missed the video's... welcome back

[@BOOGIESTARSEVEN]

I went all three days and it was awesome. Missed most of Maiden because of accidents and parking on the way there. From what i heard it was awesome. Guns, Priest, ACDC, Tool and Metallica were amazing. One of the best shows ive ever been to. I have a few videos on my channel. Cheers 🍻

[@joshbaker729]

You called Iron Maiden boring that you guys got to experience Caught Somewhere In Time and Alexander The Great do you know how lucky you guys are that you were able to hear the song live.

[@elimarsilvanikock7818]

Bashing my 2 favorite bands priest and maiden was an insult 😆

[@ironlurker]

@@elimarsilvanikock7818 they are clueless. Just casual "play classics only" folks

[@Yper10n]

YOU ARE so lucky!!! we asking IRON MAIDEN to play Alexander live in his birth place from them like an eternity here in Greece and guess what?! they arent coming to Greece on this tour when they decided at last play it live after 1986 they came even last year... anyway UP TH IRONS

[@Bresagk]

Facepalmed hard after hearing those comments, but yeah, it is a festival and not everyone there was an Iron Maiden fan so makes sense they only want to hear the same old songs.

[@andros1486]

Lucky by diehard IM fan standards maybe, but festival crowds should expect festival setlists. Maiden fucked up, simple as.

[@robyyn_your_gender]

Loving the battle vests

[@jackw3302]

You guys aren't too far from the hottest place on Earth in Death Valley. Love these videos. I live in Southern California but you couldn't have paid me to go out there to see these bands in that weather. You all are absolute monsters for doing this.

[@teresakirkpatrick1968]

I went to powertrip my friends and daughter traveled from Illinois . It was frigging hot but a good lineup. Loved Iron Maiden didn't care very much for Guns and roses .Loved Slash he is great. AXLE changed clothes a dozen times,(diva) plus they were 45 minutes late starting normal Axle. He couldn't hit the high notes anymore. I'm 60 so I'm old as he'll lol.Otherwise pretty good 3 days. Merchandise line 2 hours long and we pre-ordered our merch. Anyway love you guys channel horns up!

[@joegardinerJG]

The luggage timer on the sponsor was a brilliant little idea

[@TPD]

hahaha thanks mate

[@BrooksCWhitehouse]

It's too late for this year probably, but you NEED to come to Hulaween, I'll never stop! It's a real American festival with a very wide range of a lineup and truly the best experience, and Florida weather in late October is 👌

[@matthewmc4363]

Hi k😢😢😢🎉 🎉🎉😮Lulu o😮proud 😮and 😮all my fans

[@CattyMeiow]

I was there and saw you guys! Fellow Brit and first American festival, highlight was definitely AC/DC! Daylight robbery the whole festival, gotta take out a mortgage for it. Vibes were okay, but glad we got the hotel package cause it looked so boring in the day.

[@sirachaai]

TPD ARE BACK BABY!!

[@jordanwescott6849]

A note on Maiden - their last 3 years of touring before 2023 has been the greatest hits. This years tour was not marketed as the greatest hits, it was marketed as a mix of a classic 1986 album and their newest 2021 album (with a few classics thrown in) and the actual fans loved 95% of this setlist. They wouldn't change their tours setlist just for Powertrip, and nor should they.

[@TPD]

ive seen them 6 times and it's never had a great setlist

[@jordanwescott6849]

[@ettio]

@@jordanwescott6849 Probably he wants a setlist with Number of the beast, Run to the hills, Fear of the dark, the trooper, two minutes and those repeating for 90 minutes.

[@maggeo4156]

​@@ettiothey love the overplayed, predictable songs, Welcome To The Jungle, November Rain, fucking yawn

[@michaellefevers4248]

I have to admit I wish I'd caught the last tour in 2022. I did see 2016 and 1987. I needed to hear Icarus and Run to the hills, but would loved Empire of the clouds.
