Awesome review Jeanie!!!! Makes me feel like I'm back at Big Day Out seeing them again! I laughed pretty hard reading that stuff about Ed - he's hilarious, such a champ. I want to be able to dance like Ed, do the Ed shuffle 8-)



You took some great photo's too (especially the one of Tom and Ed before TPPR).



Sneaker, awesome photo's, especially that last one! Magical...

Ok here?s my review of the sat 19th march show at Brixton, I think the set list is correct!



This was show number 6 for me so I had a good idea what it was about and the potential of how good it could be. And yes it was fucking good, the best performance I had ever seen! My friends and I arrived in Brixton at about 8.00ish and went straight into the goose for a meal, which was cool because it was very cheap. I glimpsed outside and saw sneaker walk past so waved at him however he didn?t have a clue who I was so I went to introduce myself shortly after. I then got a call from Jeanie who was outside with Irishfan. It was really cool meeting them and chatting to other keen chems fans, sorry we couldn?t chat more, however I?m sure there will be other chems shows I will see you at.



After the Secret Machines and a Brilliant dj set from a guy called Ian something it was time for the chems!



As I suspected the classic 'Tomorrow Never Knows' was played just before the boys came onstage, this is such a great intro track as its very calm just before the storm begins, the crowd began to get into it and some were singing along. I could see just to the side of the stage and saw a door open, I knew this was it! The boys came on stage giving us a few waves with huge grins on there faces, whilst there was a massive cheer from the excited crowd. There then followed a screaming sound that was the beginning of 'Hey Boy Hey Girl', the crowd reacted well to this and it was a great way to start because everyone knew it, it sounded very similar to the original however towards the end it because more acidic like the Chile set. The visuals were the classic mathematical equations which covered the side parts of the stage. Next up was 'Get Yourself High', this is a really powerful track live and works excellently on the back of ?Hey Boy Hey Girl'. The Green lasers were used with this track and some green visuals on the sides of the stage that reminded me of windows media player. ?Big Jumped? worked very live I thought, the beginning was very different to the album and sounded a bit like an old skool track with weird piano/synth sounds, however this was not played for very long and I thought it should have been played longer seeing as its such a good tune, I think the visuals were aeroplanes. ?Galvanised? wasn?t bad however I was expecting it to sound a lot better live and I wasn?t very impressed with the visuals to they were just chimneys and was very similar to the recent television ad. Tom seemed to be concentrating a lot whilst Ed was jumping around at the back of the stage as usual. ?Music Response? played next, the volume seemed to be wacked up on this track and then the big screen was used for visuals, this really drove the audience into a wild frenzy whilst the dancing men appeared on the big screen shooting pistols at each other. ?Block Rocking Beats? was then dropped, this was of course mixed in very well by Tom who really got into it whilst using the akai, it seemed much better than the studio version as there was less depth to it and the guitar rifts and lyrics seemed much stronger, the visuals were again very impressive with the blocks on the walls and building being shown. ?Leave Home?, ?Song ToThe Siren? were kind a mixed in together, this worked very well and I herd a snippet of the Prodigy track ?Voodoo People? which was very cool. ?Come Inside? sounded brilliant live just like the Wolves gig, however there was less emphasis on the crashing sound at the start like the album version, the visuals were a green and yellow colour with a women saying the words of the song. ?Under The Influence? pumped in next with the dirty acid sounds, it sounded much more like mix 2 not the ?Surrender? version with ?It doesn?t Matter? also being mixed into it as usual with some blue robot visuals. ?Out Of Control? was also a killer and varied a lot from the album version, there seemed to be a break in the middle of the track where another guy came onto stage and fiddled with it whilst Tom spoke to him, I seemed like there was a problem, but even so it was still very good. I began to here the sounds of New Orders ?Temptation? so I knew what was coming next. ?Star Guitar? sounded so blissful and really is one of the best tracks they do live, I don?t know how they do it but it doesn?t seem to vary from the album but just is so much better, the visuals complemented the track so well and were similar to the cover of the single with a lot more emphasis on lots of different colours like a rainbow. The crowd seemed to warm toward this part of the set very well as a break from the hardness for a short chilled section. ?Surface To Air? was cracking and was a lot more like the album with the lovely robot sounds at the beginning, the visuals were a female diver spinning around, there was also a part where they was lots of circles on the screen that seemed to be bubbles giving the underwater feel to the track like the wolves gig. Ed was walking to the front of the stage a lot and seemed a bit drunk and was laughing a lot and talking to Tom whilst he worked at the front. Next I saw a bucking horse on stage and I knew that it was time for ?Hoops?, this really was enjoyable and I also love the spider visuals used. A pounding beat dropped in soon after and I really didn?t know what it was this puzzled me until I herd the words; ?I need you to Believe Something?, yes this was it ?Believe? live what I had been waiting for! The veggies did not let us down again with stunning visuals of crosses, churches, castles and graveyards. A personal favourite was then pumped out next, I didn?t soil my pants this time like I nearly did at Wolves when I herd ?You Are All My Children Now?, ?Acid Children? was here in its great live form, I really cannot explain how much I love this track, its just so evil and dirty with its very hard acid house sounds. The crowd didn?t seem to know what to make of this at first but soon got into it after the shock of those clowns laughing whilst Ed again was laughing around stage. The visuals for the track seemed to vary from the summer gigs with more swirling blue and red colours appearing. ?The Golden Path? worked well after ?Acid Children? with yellow visuals and the intro of the track sounded very cool at a higher pitch than the studio version, Ed and Tom clearly love this track a lot with big smiles together whilst playing it. The mid part of ?Electrobank? was then played but was without the lyrics or the hard break beats, I was surprised to here this live. Ed then left the stage shortly followed by Tom, the crowd was left with a weird looping sound before the encore with another guy coming onto stage checking the gear before Ed and Tom came back on to another big cheer. They then began a track that I couldn?t work out for about a minute, it was ?Hold Tight London? with visuals of the words ??Hold Tight London? on the sides of the stages before them showing views of around London. If I?m honest I didn?t like this track live as it varied a lot from the album and did not seem as chilled as normal because it had been chopped about a lot, then end of the track however was very long which flowed very nicely into ?The Private Psychedelic Reel?. As usual the visuals showed Christ which my Catholic mates were not very impressed with, however like the rest of the crowd they soon got into the churning sounds of the track and loved the winking eyes at the end with ?Love Is All? spelt out on the stage as Tom and Ed finished the set and hugged onstage before waving goodbye and trotting off stage.



Over all an awesome show much better than any gig I had ever been to, every one had a great time and I sure I lost a stone due to the how much I was sweating during dancing. Thanks Ed and Tom and everyone there for making this such a special night.

That is such a good revieuw , respect for remembering the setlist so well...!!! And yeah , it was so nice when they hugged eachother on stage , i think for them aswell this show was amazing , isn't it the last of their UK tour ? I just loved it , this guys have an amazing relation with eachother , they are really like brothers !!!



I cant sleep i've been awake for almost a day now and i keep thinking bout it , keep feeling this "being in love" feeling in my stomach when i think of how good it was. Honestly i've been down for a while but this gigs ... they got me back on my feet. I feel ... GOOD! It's amazing what music can do 2 you.

Thnx Tom and Ed for being so fucking great :D

:D Excellent pictures, sneak. The last one of Tom and Ed, oh they are so darling I just want to hug them!



Jeanie, I love the way I feel after a concert, especially the Chems gigs.



The last time I saw them, they did a dj set in Los Angeles. I had lots on my plate that week and wasn't going to go, but at the last minute my husband said, "you're going to see the Chems dj, because you need to." It was such a rough month and a particularly hard week on me emotionally, physically. Seeing that dj set was just what my soul needed. All that dancing, hearing all that live, being up at the very front.. it was just a huge release. I felt so good, the good feelings lingered for a while and gave me strength and energy to conquer what life was throwing my way during that time...
be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle

Man , i'm , aaaaaah , like u said , that pics makes you just want to hug them hahaha :D

Wa-hey! What a great weekend!! :D :D :D :D Thought I might add my two cents. 8) My gf and i went on sat night and were at the front of the circle/balcony and had an AWESOME time! :D This was my fifth chems gig, and my gf's third, and i must say it was up there with my first experience..... a truely awe inspiring night!



On top of the lads' performance, I must doff my cap to the lighting/visual effects guys - they are friggin' geniuses man!! I will never EVER tire of those big green lasers and the birds and 'roaches crawling all over the walls! BRILLIANT!! (BTW Sneaker, that pic you took towards the end of the night, with the stained-glass visual backdrop and the green laser forming a halo over tom and ed's heads is the work of a true master - well done mate! Very well done! That pic sums up the Brothers Chemical in all their live divine greatness!)



Anyhoo, being the true geek that i am, i jotted down what i seem to remember is the set list from Sat night.... please feel free to correct it if i got any of it wrong, after all thats half the fun of forum-ing innit! I haven't got around to reading any other threads yet, so my apologies if this has already been covered elsewhere! Ok here goes........ :)

:D Music Response - they got what we want... they got what we need! :P

:D Block Rockin' Beats - one word.... 'BOUNCE!!'



:P massive beats blitz including the intro sample of Leave Home and Song to the Siren..er.. sirens! I was blown away by the drum arrangements - a real blast from the past! I could let 'em pummel me with that salvo all night long!



:D Come Inside - anyone else noticed how sexy that big mouth is? lol X-D

:D Under the Influence - raised the tempo... raised our temperatures!

:D It Doesn't Matter - I friggin' love those big friggin' blue robots!

:D Out of Control - did the gear play up during this? They stopped all of a sudden :?

:D OMG! It's Surface to Air!! Pure sonic beauty :D

:D Hoops / EBW 6 - I almost fell off the balcony from pure excitement!

:D Believe - aside from STA, the best live track from PTB, imo!

cool man, its normally my job round here to write the reviews. but seeing as a lot of people have put there thoughts so nicely on here, it looks like i dont need to write my normal waffle!!



gotta say i really enjoyed the shows this weekend. its nice to hear some more tracks from push the button in the right arena, the live arena. loved the big jump live, good early track to play just picks up the energy up. galvanize live certainly got the crowd jumping up and down like loons, but i thought they could have done a little more with this track live. a bit like it began in afrika which never lived up to its live potential. maybe i need to hear it a few more times live!! i gotta say i really liked the visualls to galvanize, it was like an extended version of the push the button tv advert.



out of control certainly lived up to its name on saturday. just when the vocal should have kicked in the music stopped. tom frantically looking between the mpc and the mixer trying to sort it out. the music was only out for 30 seconds, and the music was professionally brought back in and layered up to where we had left off. by the time star guitar kicked in it was all long forgotten.



believe sounded very resequenced live. loved the visuals too, if this was played at wolves last year i would have dubbed it the architecture tune. black and white cad designs and floor pans of ornate structures, and the speed up walk throuth the grave yard!!



hold tight london, yet again love the visuals. it was like something out of the tourist information film!! i think a lot of the visuals were done at st. pauls catherdral, i'm pretty sure it was filmed from the dome looking out at the panaramic skyline of london. also the was a show filmed at st catherines dock looking at london bridge. definately a more tricked up version live, with the haunting looping vocal 'dont worry, nothing can go wrong'



a very good weekend. nice to meet more members from the board, shame i didn't get to meet chemd'up. i've meet quite a lot of the board now!!



time to say adios, i'm not going to be round here much in the near future (as i have bored some of you with). i'm not quitting, just gonna take up lurking from time to time. i need to use my time more wisely at the moment, life is busy. i want to get more involved with my music at the moment. the fourm can be very time consuming, its time for a change. i'll be back in a month or so time with something exciting. but until then....



more photos anyone???
