My group and I had a sensational time watching Hot Chip, despite having to deal with a guy who thought he was in LA Airport.

I knew the Springsteen cover was coming, but All My Friends is a kind of the group anthem so when that kicked in we were in ecstasy!

Perfect Friday headliner.

Did anyone else completely miss the fact that Caribou came on? I don't think I even noticed that they did All My Friends. I can't remember :(

 

I know I had a great time though.

 

yeah i didn't have a clue Caribou was there - watched Dancing In The Dark back a couple of nights ago and was shocked when he yells 'ladies and gentlemen CARIBOU' (or whatever he says). don't remember that at all

 

first video i've watched since getting back from the festival and it made me all tingly. that was such a good show

I didn't clock the Carribou bit while there, but I did get a wee bit too excited about All My Friends, thought it would morph into a full blown cover. What I did not see there but loved seeing on iPlayer, was Sarah Jones absolutely loving Dancing In The Dark, and singing all happy at the beginning.

Completely missed the caricolab as well. Think we were all so full of ecstacy and joy at the fact they did Dancing in the Dark we missed the all my friends part as well. Which sucks because I bladdy love that song!

 

I actually feel a bit better to not be the only one.

I had twigged Caribou was there but it took my girlfriend shaking me to make me realise they were playing All My Friends. I'm still smiling, what a night. Only realised watching it back today that it was Sinkane also on with them all.

It was only a verse of All My Friends, don't worry yerselves too much. If they'd have gone into full "Where are your friends toniiiiiiight?" mode then, yeah.

 

(Probably) the closest I'll ever get to seeing LCD Soundsystem. A single member of LCD singing a single verse of an LCD song.

Can't disagree with you there. I saw them play with Hot Chip on their double headliner tour. Put it this way, they blew *Hot Chip* out of the water.

 

Yep. Completely overshadowed Hot Chip in what I thought was gonna be a completely 50/50 show.

I really enjoyed Hot Chip at the Hot Chip/LCD gig in Manchester, mind you I was 18 at the time, and was inclined to really enjoy pretty much anything. LCD were something else though, they had their set cut short at Leeds fest a few months earlier, so me and them had scores to settle. I don't really have a single favourite band, but if pushed to give one, I'll usually answer LCD Soundsystem.
