The Chems at V in Staffordshire this year will be my first festival? and boy am I looking forward to it!!



My only dilema is this?



Do I get up close to front so I can get blown away by the speakers (a la Apollo Sat night), so I can see the Bros up close and working their magic and so I can dance like a nutter with other manic Chems fans?



or?



Do I stay near the back so I can appreciate the Chems in an outdoor setting, get a great view of the graphics and be able to take loads of pictures of the set, graphics, crowd.



Decisions, decisions, decisions!!!

Lmao, sounds like u had more of an adventure than me marsh. glad to hear u got home ok. british trains, u cant beat them can u....

well back from manchester. tired as hell but worth it. arrived mid afternoon and then went around manchester before making my way to the apollo. the set was incredible and the infadels were brillant as support and james holyrod dj set was great and he dropped the dfa remix of the boxer in it but no-one realised it was it. vocals are very distorted in it.

well setlist was the following

hey boy hey hey girl



started off great with the extended loops at the beginning place was jumping then into



get yourself high/ morning lemon



just incredible this mash up shame it is to short. starts off with the intor beats of gyh then morinng lemon bursts in and it was lovely. morning lemon was played for about 2 mins mixed with the vocals of get yourself high and then gyh took over



big jump



love the live version and the synths are incredible



galvanize

wicked live as usual with the crowd shouting push the button and highlight. they mixed the vocals abit from the normal live version



block rockin beats

used the transition from music response and the full power of this exploded



leave home/ song to siren

tweaked this lots on the tour. leave home sounds more and more similar to the original live version bloody wicked and the visuals were wicked. song to siren was mixed with as well always lovely to hear this. no rock the house in samples in whatsoever.



come inside

just earth shattering live



under the influence

more extended version than last uk tour which was lovely then into



it doesn't matter

love this live and my ears were hurting from the power



out of control

changed this from the last tour now very similar to the surrender tour version with the out of control vocals at the start.



tempetation/star guitar

brillant as usual



surface to air

same as above



ebw 6

the transition between this and surface to air seems to be a new song with visuals of a tiger, a elephant and a monkey. no vocals as before and no blue monday samples either



believe

just superb as usual



ebw 7

ending was mixed differntley and louder, how loud was this song.



the golden path

nice mix of this prefer the live to the album version.



elektrobank

just the bassing drums explode for a minute until



chemical beats

great to hear this live it is just awe inspiring live



hold tight manchester

lush as usual



the private pyschadelic reel

nothing can be said to do this justice

Shame elektrobank was cut short. At the march 11th Gig they played the full version with the amazing slow down 2nd part to it.



One question about James Holroyd. On both the march 11th gig and may 28th gig before tomorrow never knows comes on he played the same tune. I really want to get it but don't know what its called. Its a breaks style tune. Ok.. Im gonna try and describe it. Its got a very raw bass sound and then this old skool square wave kinda sound kicks in.. The tune breaks down to a crown sound and classic rave air horn sound.. Anyone know??

hear it tons of times by him.it has the vocals ''a place to call my own '' rember sneaker beater told me the track name but forget it . the song is about 2 years old i think

I think we were talkming bout it at Brixton. Its played in Plump dj sets aswell.

well setlist was the following

How the hell does anyone manage to remember the running order? I just get lost in the music every time. Thanks for the reminder anyway. :)

yeah we were talking about it have to find the track



i always remember the setlist isn't hard

me to, i really wish i could do a module about the chems at uni, i think I would do very well in it!

I have a hard time rememberign setlists. I'm always busy dancing my ass of :D

Incredible to see morning lemon back in the live setlist. I hope they will do a surprising set at Werchter

was morning lemon ever played live before this tour. damn shame they don't play it for longer it the sets

As far as I know it wasn't played live before during this tour except the last couple of shows, but it was played in earlier tours. It's so cool that thay keep chancing their sets.

yeah and the fact that i started a petition to get it played on this tour and tom and ed played it

Goes to show that they do care what we think of their shows, and they read the forums probably more than we realize!



The played Private Psychadelic Reel at Coachella, something they haven't done there before, and something I was vocal about in the past.

Yeah, but no "Fucking excellent acid house"!!! I would've hit the roof if they'd played that sample. Even just triggered it by mistake during Believe or something. :D Still, there's no doubt the Chems put on a clinic for their fans. My ass was so owned.

would that be, Tiga - Pleasure From The Bass

Was James Holroyd actually there? I thought it was just a CD as I couldn't see him anywhere. Quality set by him.



I didn't hear Tiga being played, but I may have been at the bar at the time. X-D



We were just to the back left of the lighting stage. What a night. I was quite lucky as although I did want to get a train back to Liverpool (before twenty past eleven theres a train every fifteen minutes, after that not a train until twenty to two) I ended up staying round a mates house who lives in Manchester so didn't have to do the hassle of the train.

I also took some videos with my camera and one of them is amazing. I dont kno if i am allowed to put them on here but i am willing to share them the images are full screen so are quite big but the videos are really big like 16mb so if anyone can tell me if i can post them i would appreciate it.
