reaction, I can only say that the power of the live set certainly surprised me. I expected a wicked show, but could not have fathomed just how good it was. It felt like being on drugs.... oh wait.....



Seriously though, you'll be doing yourself the biggest favour by making arrangements to see them the next time they tour.

Hoops, always sounds really different. I never heard them on their Surrender gigs :( . What were they like?

"BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM......."



Followed soon after by the sound of a screeching demon-horse rising up from Hell.....



Yes, that's right, the greatest song I've heard them perform live was in Chicago, back in '97 or '98, when they blew out "It Doesn't Matter".



I felt like banshees were swirling around the perimeter of the room, and then simultaneously diving down and ripping my soul out.



It was a feeling I'll never forget. Awesome.





Man...it sure would be nice if they'd come back to the States again before I'm an old man... :(

Welcome barbarino2000. :)



It Doesn't Matter is absolutely mind blowing live, I agree. That deep bass feels like some sinister force is pushing it's way up through the earth and into your body. It really is draw dropping, that bass.



The first time I saw the Chems, this girl who joined up with us freaked out during It Doesn't Matter, and she wasn't that big a fan at all before that show, maybe only new a couple of songs at best. I'll never forget her reaction. Her eyes were misty and she started screaming, "I can feel this in my bones! I can feel this in my soul!!!"

That's when I got the chance to see them for the first time.



They were at the top of their game then as they are now. It's hard to say what they were like in comparison without turning this into a lengthy essay - all I can say is that the show had a long lasting impression on me. I knew I was witnessing something very special. It had me sold from the minute it started.



You should pick up the Chemical Brothers Singles DVD and check out the Red Rocks footage on there.

I'm with Acidchildren on his thoughts. Once people start mentioning their highlights, they become highlights for me too!



And chemicalreaction, heed Darkstar's words of wisdom if you are able. ;)

ya, i already got the dvd, just thought that they would be different in smaller gigs. Speaking of live stuff, i heard a rumor of a live cd from the chems coming out in the summer. Probably not true but it would be awesome.

I love what I've got, but I'd love the chance to see the Chems in a smaller-than-a-festival setting - I have high hopes of experiencing that one day...



Where'd you hear the live cd rumor?

favourite live track from the last tour is Surface to air with Believe as a pumping 2nd.

Favourite all time must be the Encore at Lowlands 1999. Flashback to TPPR. Massive bleeps and bass.

it also depends on the show and location, different tracks are better at different shows, the ordering of the tracks makes a vital difference.

Radio, they were talkin about how they hadn't heard the chems in a while and they said that they had heard the rumor from a friend who heard it from another friend and so on and so on. lol

^ ah ha! Gotta love the old gossip mill.



Unless Ed comes on here and says so himself, I wouldn't hold the radio station to it!

I have a few fave live moments....



The crazy tweaking towards the end of Junior parkers intro leading to the screeching intro to hey boy hey girl.....and when the first beat kicks in, imense, i cant imagine what Tom and ed must feel when they drop that!...



Next would be Big Jump live, that sounds so fresh and new....



The Clown on EBW7....



When the visuals come in for real in MUSIC RESPONSE...WOW



the green laysers for Get Yourself High....they go thru you!



and just many more

Never had the pleasure of seeing them live, but I got the dvd for whatever that's worth.... But yeah, that Hey Boy Hey Girl build up is intense. Awesome stuff. I hope I do get to see them some day.
