that was a good gig, they always rock brighton when i have seen them down there. tonight was no different!!! i really enjoyed the tinkered new set list



hey boy hey girl

morning lemon

get yourself high

galvanize

leave home

song to the siren

come inside

under the influence

it doesnt matter

out of control

star guitar

surface to air

EBW 6

Believe

acid children

golden path

chemical beats



hold tight london

private psychedelic reel



i nearly shit myself when morning lemon kicked in, the whole tune wasnt played, but we got a good couple of minutes before it was chopped up to fit with get yourself high. gutted to see music response has been removed from the set, but then again im up for changing set list thoughout the tour (not like the surrender tour which was pretty much the same for its 14 month durration i seem to remember). also the leave home and song to the siren section has been revamped. leave home lasting much longer. but supprise of the night had to be the reinclusion of chemical beat!!!! fuckin awesome to hear that played live again!!!! i love the exit planet dust era.



i wondered if they may have played the boxer, seeing as its being released on 11th july. i'm sure i have read on hear that it has been played as an encore, don't know how true that is but they didn't play it which was a shame. but who is complaining??? a fine tuesday night out!!



after the gig a plucked a new t-shirt, 'it matters that it doesn't matter'. how cool is that a t-shirt from a track thats 8 years old!!! its all good. and just as i left the brighton centre i bumped into acid children and said hello and had a brief chat about the gig.

Morning Lemon? Chemical Beats!? New T-shirt?!?!? That's it, after the next two days' boozing, it's time to crack down and save money.... (if my car repair bills will let me....)



Thanks for getting a review (even a brief one) in quick like dinner, Sneaker. Always appreciated.

sneaker, your take on the gigs is always much appreciated and a pleasure to read.



You new t-shirt rocks so hard!! It rocks as much as the wicked changes to the set list!

Holy fuckin' monkey. Goddamn. I need to hear this setlist. Not to enthused about Chemical Beats (I'd rather hear something else from the EPD era) but Morning Lemon?!?! Even in small bits, that's a freakin' milestone. Sheeit... how much to book a ticket to Europe now?

Yeah , you are right....sneaker.

Probably....you are going to listen to The Chems beats everyday for a while.You cannot forget about the visuals and their beats...

Thanks sneakerbeater. Cool that Chem Beats was back and ML was included! How awesome. That shirt is just so cool too. :o

Holy crackemoly.

MORNING LEMON

CHEMICAL BEATS



Fucking hell man :-| Shit now i REALLY Can't wait for belgium , but that's a festival so i wonder iif there gonna use there "old" setlist , i hope the new one , MORNING LEMON , ow my lord , i cant wait to hear that live 8O

It's hard to imagine me losing my cool even harder than I did before they revised their current set list. I guess I'll have to wait and see...



Damn it, I wish I could go to the upcoming shows!!

Arrghhh I want that t-shirt !!!

Thats a very diffrent set to when i saw them last in march

my petition for morning lemon worked X-D

can't wait for saturday . morning lemon and chemical beats X-D X-D X-D

Morning Lemon was mixed in with Get Yourself High, it was really just the beats and that bass note (thats most of the track though X-D )



You missed out The Big Jump, after Get Yourself High but before Galvanize. Block Rockin' Beats was on .... after Leave Home, I think? It might have been after Galvanize. I loved that remixed bassline at the start, I just lost it at that!! 8) Somewhere (but I can't remember where :-// ) the beats to Elektrobank were used, and when they started to slow, I did wonder if we weren't gonna be blown away by the post-apocalyptic art of noise that is the Pirelli ad. I was impressed with The Golden Path too, I normally don't like that song but live it just came alive, much more dirty that the studio version. And I was well chuffed when Chemical Beats started, and surprised at how many people recognised it (or seemed too). But I guess it was on Singles, so it should be pretty well known now. I did feel that Hold Tight London lost it's magic live, the acid line in it was wicked but the emotive content was lacking. Not the chems fault though, as I thought the PA was below average. The bass was tremendous, but all the mids and treble were hidden behind it. At times, it was hard to hear anything but bass. Maybe it was just where I was standing. Still, there is nothing like the atmosphere of a Chems gig, and I was off on that the whole night.



How good were the visuals for EBW7?? Not just the clown, but that tunnel thing was amazing! And It Doesn't Matter, when the robots went evil - sure glad I wasn't on drugs then! Believe's visuals were pretty good, with the moving through the graveyard at the end, that was pretty mad. I was a little disappointed that Star Guitar didn't use the main screen for the visuals as well as the little ones, but the little ones were more than enough to keep me occupied :D

sweet chemical fan . new mixed setlist is superb good mixture of old and new can't wait to hear it live

It did rule, although Setting Sun was left out, as was The Sunshine Underground, but you can't have everything X-D



I'd never heard It Doesn't Matter or Chemical Beats live before, and I was loving every second of them. I wished they'd started with Come With Us, it's such a good opener, the way it builds. The start of Hey Boy Hey Girl was cool though, some vague unrecognisable sounds, people were waiting impatiently, then the massive kick ripped through and the screens exploded, and the crowd went absolutely mad!! What a moment! :D

Oh just remembered - EBW6. The start, well, I guess it was the end of Surface to Air, the transitition seemed to go on for so long is was a track in it's own right, maybe a new one??



The visuals I remember were lots of circles, but the "new song" started a little before that. Anyone else shed more light on my rapidly fading memory? :'(

i think it is just a transition of the tracks. the it doesn't matter t-shirt looks lovely have to pick one up this week. still can't get over morning lemon live. chemical beats can't wait to hear that live

was a brilliant gig, it was very cool how morning lemon beats were used with GYH. It was a shame about music response being dropped. I also saw that cool new t-shirt, shame i didnt have the cash. EBW7 didnt seem that evil last night as they have changed the visuals slightly. Nice seeing sneaker and chemicalfan.

And It Doesn't Matter, when the robots went evil - sure glad I wasn't on drugs then!

I can vouch that it is an awe-inspiring and freaky moment (when high as a kite) when those robots go nuts. One of my favourite moments of the concert, and I'm glad I caught it on camera.

Wow. that was my first proper Chemicals gig. And I bloomin loved it!



I spent about 90% of the night with the most rediculously inane smile on my face.



But can anyone tell me what happened to the "and special guests" that was mentioned on the tickets? Not that it really mattered, I'm just curious!
