what a great night last night was, i hope this thread will give people the opportunity to express their views on the gig last night. i shall start the thread by telling the day in the life of... up to the gig.



after being promised a lift on the monday it would have been wise to of gone to college on the tuesday to properly arrange lift times. unfortunately according to bbc midlands news burton college was on strike. luckily i had told 'em to meet me at the m42 junction 10 services for 18:15. it was 18:30 they came just as i was about to find another way there. with my amazing map readiong skills we managed to get to the civic for roughly 19:30.

we got to the front pretty easily and waited for the band to come on. alrerady i was felling tired and weak. i haven't been eating or drinking properly the past few weeks so was feeling quite weak. the chems came on and i felt more elated. when Galvanize came on me and my friend had a dance off, very similar to the krumping on the video. after this i was well and trully fucked and had to just bounce about. after about half an hour i had to get some water. this wasn't enough and i found great joy in running cold water on my head as i could feel my head alone geating incredible hot. i jumped back in when EBW6 came on. i managed to last untill the oncore then had to run cold water on my head again. i could only sway during the encore untill TPPR came on, then i went all out right at the front untill the end of the song.

i really enjoyed the gig and so did the three people i went with who were going to their first chemical gig. if any body is wondering what i look like i'm 6'5" with short hair, wore a dark grey lemon jelly t-shirt with white and black fists on the bottom. my friends; one wore a black prodigy hot ride t shirt and the girl has long black and purple/pink dread locks and are both quite small.

:D What a fantastic night, I agree, the psycadelic visuals and set were incredible. I have seen the Chemical Brothers before, but this time was better. A great atmosphere, virtually everyone was jumping up and down or dancing, last night was the definition of euphoria! If you wanna know who I was, I was wearing a black chemical brothers T-shirt with white writing. I also had a green glow stick and was dancing like crazy. BTW thanks to the couple who shared their coca-cola with me very nice of you :)



'Love is all'

Was an absolutely sensational night.

First time id see the guys and they blew me away- the whole show, set list, atmosphere etc was perfect- on many occasions found myself lost in the music - ultimate euphoria night! WOW!
