Oh and they had played about with the tune that normally comes out of 'Sunglasses at Night'(although they didn't play sunglasses) using the Chemicals are bad vocal.

Easy.

I felt the need to come and join this forum after friday night. yeah im a fan of the chems iv seem them live twice so i was expectin a bit of old school-ish big beat and sort of hip hop and breaks etc. along with a bit of techno.

how fuckin wrong was i. from the spine tingling intro to the fucked up sgt peppers trip-out at the end i didnt stop dancing to piss, or drink or smoke once. iv been goin to sankeys and other techno nights for years but never in my life have i ever seen the atmosphere like that, or, for that matter, ever heard techno like that. Im a DJ and i thought i roughly knew what is out there, music wise... again, wrong.

From around 1:30am to 3:15am they played relentless, balls-out, sonic techno, none of which i have ever heard before (apart from Saturation and that awesome looping section of Hoops).

I also noticed that very very rare once-every-few-years-or-so phenomenon where every single person, from the front of the room, to the back of the rear stage, to the people at the bars, to those stood on top of the speakers, were going fucking nuts... all night.

does anyone have anything that even closely resembles a set list? i would kill for it. and it would also make my life if i got wind of a recording.

My name is Sean by the way and i reckon you may be seein me quite a lot round here since last Friday

;)

Nice write up Sean, sounds immense. The boys don't sound like they're flagging in the ideas department. Roll on Fabric!

@Oscillate/Sean: Nice!!! Wow, I love reading people's reactions to the set!!! Glad it was an amazing time.

I'm sure they played new material, and I would have LOVED to have been there... ::sigh:: Do the boys want to DJ Coachella again? :-/ That's the best chance of getting them back over here to the States, probably. :-(

my spidey senses are tingling.

welcome sean!

Welcome to the board! Stick around!

I'd love someone to give a setlist.

Count me in as part of the welcome committee! Glad to have you around, Sean. :) Thanks so much for taking the time to post. Like MadPooter I love reading peoples' reactions to what the Chems do!

@ Oscillate/Sean: I am in bed about to go to sleep and I just screamed out after reading your post YESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYES!!!!!! That post was eargasmic!

That is part of why I stick around this place. To pump me up for my next T and E show......which will hopefully be something in regards of a tour this summer and my semi/tri annual jaunt over to fuji rock. I am almost half way there.

haha! thanks for the warm welcome!

@ChemicalChris : whoosh! power!... that absolutely had to be a chems track. it sounded like it was the same robot-like vocal effect as was on the Sgt Peppers track.

@london_dust_explosion : make sure you let us know what they are like @ Fabric!

as i gradually regain my short term memory i will try to describe other stuff about the night. also i will try to get the very few videos i took posted on youtube.

Im scared of looking at those vids at the minute as i just know i will be overcome with the crippling realisation thats its a wet tuesday morning and im not in sankeys watching it live.

:(

OMG!

Welcome on board Oscillate. You passed the test (not asking "when are the chemical brothers gonna do a live show/gonna release a new album ?" for your first post)

You summed it up very well Oscillate! ( And glad you had a kick-ass time at Sankeys.) You fired up the forum with your perspective of the show. It doesn't matter how small or big the venue is, it's the impact it leaves on its fans. I like what Ryno said about the part of why we stick around this place, but evidently, we breathe, sleep, and eat the music of the Bros. Sometimes I wish it was in a cereal..

..and I call it Dusted Flakes!

Yes, Oscillate, we very much appreciate your first couple of posts having nothing to do with the idea of a question, or even hinting at the suggestion, of their next live concert or tour.

Thank you. Welcome.

I'm excited!!!

get a hooker

Another 5 vids just got posted :)

Last four minutes or so of that third video are veeeeeery interesting...

@Champiness yeah I know. How good is that song? Makes me feel really happy for some reason. Really hoping for better recording of it :)

Mmmm... good energy emanating from these bad audio vids... :D

I'm thinking track 3 could be the MGMT track they are working on.
