(the sound n lights last night look massive!)

Ok, so it goes a little something like this!

9pm, dead on, DJing finishes and on comes... Tomorrow Never Knows! Didn't see that one coming. I was expecting the

new intro (No Path to Follow) but they obviously wanted to give a Surrender feel to the evening. All was looking

promising. I was fully prepared for an entirely new set list at this point.

But then... the acid loop kicks in and I just know it's gonna be Galvanise! Out booms the old classic "Don't Hold

Back" and people are getting excited. The crowd is great!

We go through Galvanise into Burst Generator before Ali Love booms out Do It Again which was lacking a little in

bass clarity for my liking but was awesome none-the-less. At this point I'll mention Small Gripe #1: The mid-range

sound was absolutely fantastic, but it seemed to be a little dead in the sub-bass region (See Under the Influence

below).

Anyhoo, the show speeds on! The scary clown appears (you know the drill) and everyone Gets Themselves High! Then,

blowing all else before it away comes HBHG which stomps the place down. Everyone knows it, everyone loves it and it

was great - the entire venue was jumping and that's saying a lot becuase it's a BIG venue!

Now, Small Gripe #2: I don't like Midnight Madness. It seemed such a comedown after HBHG but hey, we moved swiftly

through it into Out Of Control/Don't Fight It Feel It/It Doesn't Matter and then Temptation/Star Guitar. Part 1

concluded. Me happy.

The set list continued as it has done for the final part of the tour:

Surface To Air

Under The Influence (see "Small Gripe #1" above - I wasn't blown off my feet by the sub-bass!)

Saturate

Believe

Acid Children

Golden Path

Chemical Beats

before the Bros retreated. Now I thought to my little self, what are they going to cook up for an encore? I suppose

therefore Small Gripe #3 is entirely our own fault for speculating on the forum... it was an amazing encore (Leave

Home -> Block Rocking Beats -> Sunshine Underground) but it wasn't guest vocalised or the such like. As I say, nobody to blame but ourselves for getting hopes up and MY GOD, BRB was intense - again the entire place was moving and surging and, as I said, the sound quality for 99.9999% of it was absolutely awesome - incredible actually, probably the best I've heard at their gigs.

The visuals were of brilliant quality as usual and when the lights went up they really did an amazing job of illuminating the entire building which is, as you all know, an incredible place.

Oh, and I almost forgot to mention: all the billboards outside were for Brotherhood!

That's my little review of the evening - got a little tired typing it half-way through (as you can probably tell from the way the tracklist starts being listed, rather than described) but it was an absolutely brilliant evening! Where I've put my Small Gripes, they really are "small" and I'm trying to be constructively critical. Don't get me wrong - the gig was awesome - amazing - fantastic - I'm glad I was there:

a part of Chemical Brothers history.

Acid Children ? for real ? no EBW6 or We are the night ?

Hello, newbie here :-D Last night was my first ever Chemical Brothers gig and it was awesome! I was having trouble imagining the Olympia Grand Hall as a music venue but it was fantastic, the visuals were astounding, and the music was brilliant.

Bwah - that's what happens when you copy and paste a fucking set list without thinking. It was the EBW 6 -> We Are The Night set, and not as above. Bollocks. See - you shouldn't have rushed me Jack!

OT : Martin, is that Jean Reno and Mylene Jampanoi on your sig pic ?

Hehe, nope, Jon Fugler (Fluke) and Yuki

It was AWSOME! But it felt like it was over FAR too soon!! I think the Chems only played for about 2 hours, I felt like it should of been on all night!

It was good to see the Olympia work as a music venue, I have been to an exhibition there in the past and couldn't work out if it'd be any good, but it was. Really glad i got to go, Its about the billionth time i have seen them live, and i still love them and i STILL fancy Ed and his beard..!

What was everyones fave track they played?

I love you all. Seriously. There's so much to read in the Olympia aftermath and I'm savoring every word. Martin - thanks for your review (I don't care if it was rushed!) BEL - glad you had a great First time and glad you're feeling less knackered now. Mitzi you're so funny with your Ed's-fuzzy-face infatuation, it's really cute. ;)

Haha! Err thanks! I think it was someone from East 17 (Really sh*t cockney boyband - if you don't know) back when i was alot younger that started me off with fuzzy faces! It was a good night, I am feeling superbly tired now & work first thing, god damn.

Did you have a good evening Whirly?

Ah, my evening was good as it can get sitting on my couch watching a bad (but funny) action flick, a few thousand miles away from where all the music is!

Thanx Martin!

I said the same on UTI, not bassy enough for me but gets the job done. Previous UTI's before the 07-08 tour sounded more proper! But glad you had a great time at Olympia.

Glad that TSU got played!

AWESOME NIGHT ..... !!!!!!!!!!! NUFF SED LOL

Maybe next time we should all arrange a proper meet up too!? That'd be fun!

Unreal, fucking superb night. My 3rd time seing them, and the first time i haven't lost it!

OUtstanding. Went with some Chems virgins, they were all suitably blown away, all being ex-clubheads ;)
