Still resisting watching the vids - but man am I awed by the pictures. Wow!!!

ill have more pics other than the ones i put up on facebook later, when ive slept off some of the last 29 hours! gutted to be missing tonight but those were 3 of the best chems gigs ive ever been to....and thats saying alot!

looking forward to the next ones already!

Ooo can't wait to see more pics of the gig!! :D

And I'm glad you had such a great time at the shows!!

chemdup -how epic do you get? hearing the new album 2 weeks before the world live, 3 nights back to back. this beats tim's greyhound ride! you are my hero!

can someone link up k+d+b, snow? i haven't been able to hear those. i'm hooked! watched all the videos i could, what an epic sunday evening!

Something about believe. If you listen to the SF show from 07 (and I was there in person) after the build up in that part believe kicks in without any drums, but that song was so intense that most people probably didn't notice. I think the way they handled it was genuine class, all it did was add to the build, I think it was a conspiracy and they meant to do it.

The Believe> Saturate drums are my fav drums in the world!!

Went to the gig last night, the new album is immense! Full of beautiful melodies and killer synth lines.
It can't come out soon enough. The visuals as you can see are as great as ever. I spent the whole first hour
with a big smile on my face.

The world seems a better place when the chems are making this kind of sonic brilliance

Hello folks, just registered to say that Friday's show was immense! My first time seeing TCB, despite being a long-time fan. Can't believe it's taken so long, but it was definitely worth the wait!
I've noticed some people wanting to see the setlist, so with a ******spoiler****** proviso, here it is: (this is what was on the paper setlist that the sound guys had)
1. Snow

2. Escape Velocity

3. Another World

4. Dissolve

5. Horse Power

6. Swoon

7. K+D+B

8. Wonders Of The Deep



9. Hey Boy Hey Girl

10. Chemicals Are Good/Bad

11. Under The Influence

12. All Rights Reserved

13. Out Of Control

14. Setting Sun

15. It Doesn’t Matter

16. Saturate

17. Believe

18. Chemical Beats

But now I want you guys to help me a little... What's the 'Chemicals Are Good/Bad' song that was on the setlist? Is it a stand-alone song available on an album, or what? I'd love to hear it again, I thought it was awesome!

was all rights reversed short or long version?

Wowsers! I never expected that track to make it past the WATN tour. All right!

These chemicals good is just a vocal sample.

Can't say I heard and of all rights reversed coming in. Maybe it was just a beat under something else.

I wish I was there again tonight. Going 2 weeks with out hearing further will be torture. Snow,another world and wonders of the deep are just swirling around my head. My stand out tracks from the album,but because it's all one story it fits
togeter so well. This album has no "skippers"!! :)

yer, ive been singing 'snow' all day long!! the sound was much better on saturday compared to thursday. must have been near you on saturday. i was immediately to the right of the rear of house sound desk. saw the whole drink flying episode, and the towels thrown in to absorb the liquid before we had melt down. looked like they had it sorted before the sound went down. i thought it was game over for the desk!

really looking forward to buying the album in 3 weeks time!!

Oh my, that would have been tragic! The people working the sound desk deserve some accolades for saving the day!!

Argh!! I can't wait!!!

Just came back.

Short review :

Whoaaa !

More accurately : Fantamazingastic show ! Although, it was shortened. Snow was only used as an intro (2-3mn). Under The Influence was only 2 or 3 minutes as well, and Setting Sun was mixed with the end of Out of Control, not played in full. We stayed for at least 15 minutes shouting, yelling, clapping for the brothers to come back. But it didn't work.

Appart from that it was purely awesome. I'll post a full review tomorrow, I'm going to sleep now.

Edit : also, Tom forgot to send the "You are all my children now" vocal, boooo Tom ! Boooo !

Saw the Friday show. I have to echo what some other people have said on here - it was pretty disappointing. The sound was woeful. As soon as I began to struggle to hear Junior Marvin singing "Surrender to the void" I knew it would be a difficult evening. Why on earth do venues play the music so loud? You couldn't hear any nuances or even the basic melodies. Further sounds like it will be a terrific album, and I've had "Another World" in my head ever since, but Tom and Ed's setlist for second half of the gig was baffling. Bar the lyrics from "Setting Sun", every song that was played had been performed during the WATN tour. That takes the biscuit, really.

I saw Tom and Ed at Creamfields 07 and in Liverpool later that year (the latter being the best gig I've witnessed from them). Three years later and I'm hearing the same tracks, including the "Believe"-to-"Saturate" transition. No encore either. Me and my bro were so hyped up for these gigs, billed by the Roundhouse and Chemical Brothers press as their most outstading live shows to date, when in fact it just seemed like an opportunity to showcase Further and toss out some numbers from the last tour. There were no surprises like "Got Glint?", "Music: Response", "Come With Us", "A Modern Midnight Conversation". I know this is a bit of a rant, but having seen the Chemicals five times now, one cannot help but be frustrated when they deliver a rather lazy, uninspired performance of their back catalogue.
