Too bad AT&T didn't cover Massive Attack last night.  Not the show everyone expected, but interesting just the same.  Check out what the Austin American Statesman said.

Quote
Massive Attack was the definition of calm and collected class in a moment of would-be band crisis.

The Bristol, England, band brought its sonic landscape of ethereal trip-hop to ACL’s AT&T Stage for a headlining slot that was nothing short of spectacular. The set was even heroic considering that the band only appeared as half of its core.

The act typically performs with Robert del Naja (3D) and Grant “Daddy G” Marshall, as well as a revolving cast of musicians, DJs and collaborators. Early in the set, 3D announced that Marshall would be missing the show because he had provided the only legitimate excuse for missing a gig: His wife gave birth to a baby last night.

“I’d like to introduce an angel named Elizabeth,” said 3D, inciting applause from die-hard fans as former Cocteau Twins chanteuse Elizabeth Fraser emerged from a shadowy stage right.

Fraser hasn’t performed in Austin — or much at all in the United States — in years, although Massive Attack was able to convince her to accompany it stateside for this year’s Coachella festival. Fans close enough to the front of the stage — or the fans who could decipher her image in the gigantic screen — were seemingly the only audience members able to determine for sure Fraiser’s rare appearance.

Massive Attack played an inspired set. A massive highlight was the emotive Fraser classic, “Teardrops.” The band pleased tens of thousand of festival patrons who were either in the know on some of the innovators of electronic music or are from Texas and have seen Willie Nelson headline a show in Austin multiple times before.

Fraser emerged in flowing, pale white clothes, appearing just as as angelic as 3D had described, and made multiple more appearances to sing all af her now famous tracks from Massive Attack’s classic electronica/trip-hop album, “Mezzanine.”
