FUSE TV - 5 Best Moments from Austin City Limits Festival

It's impossible to distill three full days of music into just five moments. At Austin City Limits Music Festival, which boasts eight stages and more than 100 bands, a new moment is created everywhere you look. But we sifted through our copious notes from weekend 1 and did our best to compile the five moments we think will be remembered and talked about for a long time after the festival ends.

5. Haim Look Out for Their Fans

Despite being October, this was still Texas, and Saturday's brutal temperatures caused many to run for shade and water bottles. Los Angeles sister trio Haim felt their pain, asking security to bring fans water during their mid-afternoon set. Hooray for empathetic rock stars!

4. Indie Rock Band Pinback Breakdance

San Diego indie rock band Pinback are more known for their melodic pop/rock tracks than dance moves, but midway through their 2004 track "Fortress," frontman Rob Crow, the self-described "fat one in Pinback," dropped to the ground and performed The Worm to an elated crowd. It received the biggest applause of the set, natch.

3. Cover Me

ACL saw numerous inventive covers during the three-day festival. North Carolina folk-rock group Delta Rae took on Fleetwood Mac's classic track "The Chain," while bombastic British rock trio Muse appended their punishing song "Stockholm Syndrome" with Rage Against the Machine's "Freedom" and Eric Church slipped some "Born to Run" lyrics in "Springsteen." The best cover, though, went to L.A. singer-songwriter Lissie, who took on Kid Cudi's "Pursuit of Happiness." The singer prefaced the track with a story about receiving hate tweets from the rapper/singer's fans after she was misquoted saying she wrote the track. Happy ending: Cudi and Lissie talked about it on Twitter and everyone's cool now.
