which was performed in (Live @ Zenith, Paris, 10-20-1999)?

Junior Parker - Tomorrow Never Knows (Chemical Brothers Rework), 5:23

It would be cool if they would come up with a new intro soon, they've used that one for a pretty long time now. I first thought that it was just for the Surrender tour...it's awesome, a real mood setter but it would be nice with something new IMO...

Something like duh duh duh. duh duh da duh da da duh (the intro to YMCA).

if anyone ever stumbles on that junior parker album with tnk (love ain't nothing but a business goin on) then pick it up. It's a great fuckin album, there are two other beatles covers on it and the other tracks are gold, I might argue (all sentimental value aside) that tnk is actually not one of the better tracks of that album

No, No, NO!!! No YMCA tunes to open up a Chemical Brothers show!!!!! OK, maybe for a show on April Fool's Day, but that would be the *only* acceptable time.



I think it's hot that the same intro is used to open up their gigs. (well, almost all their gigs, they didn't do that last time I saw them... at least I don't think they did but I would've remembered something like that.) Anyway. It builds excitement, it acts like a beacon, it signals that the mothership has landed and the Chemical Brothers have arrived! It's tradition, much like it's tradition for them to end a live set with Private Psychadelic Reel, and like it's become tradition to end a dj set with Hey Girl Hey Boy (at least when I've seen them.)



It's just an opinion here, but I think some things like what the Chems do at the opening of a show should remain the same. I can understand wanting something a bit more fresh and updated, but it's just one of those things that's expected, like tradition. It reminds me of U2 and how they used to close every one of their sets with a song called 40. It was such a great closer, and everyone would be singing it, long after the band left the stage and the houselights came on. People would be singing the refrain all the way out into the parking lot - it was a great unifying sort of thing - and it's very sad that newer generations of U2 fans can't experience that.



Sorry for my babbling, especially about the U2 bit but I thought it related in a small way - I'm in a sort of sentimental mood today!

i'm in a sentiMENTAL mood now, just had a listen to Acid Children. How fookin great is this track!

as much as i love the juniour parker intro, its time for a new intro for the live show!!! they been playing tomorrow never knows since 1999 and its a little over used now.



btw before that they used willie hutch - brothers gonna work it out as there live intro. the guitar at the begining used to loop for an eternity before the speach about the 'pimps, pushers and the pushers' kicked in!!!

Veird! I've never heard the Willie Hutch intro..

As Sneakerbeater said, they used that before the Surrender tour. It's the same track that opens on Brothers Gonna Work It Out.

Yar, I know! :P

I meant I don't have any sets with zat opening it.

yeah agree with Biff that Junior Parker album is nice - the cover of taxman is very cheeky



Great sleeve too....



Cheb

I finally got me hands on The Beatles version, and wow. First thing I gathered was that I have heard this before, but I (obviously) never realised it was The Beatles, nor what it was called, or even that it was written in '66. I thought it was some '90s remix to and old psych tune, not an original.



Anyway, totally blows me away! Looped drums, reversed gutair, organ feedback, dual tracking..ffs it's inspirational to think they did that back then.

I've never head this opener (maybe I have and just dont remember it)



but tommorow never knows by the beatles is an AWESOME track.

It's a great intro I reckon, with the spotlights swinging around the crowd and everywhere. *cough*



It's a stirring beginning; Junior Parker's voice is very haunting!
