yeah to be honest, despite everything i've said about 'Daft Punk should get to play it first and not Nile / Chic', now that Pharrell has done it the moment it was released to the public, Chic might well do it as well (although obviously it's easier for Pharrell as he just needed a backing track to sing over, whereas Chic don't have Pharrell to sing)

[MEGABOWL]

Unless he appear as a special guest for Chic... scrap that they might as well just get Daft Punk and do the whole sodding thing if this happens

Its easy enough to make a backing track with the vocal on, especially if he produced it anyway, he will have access to all the recordings. could be a good shout for a special guest though

There seems to be a technical problem with Get Lucky on Spotify. It seems to just keep repeating itself and I can't bring myself to switch it off. I listened to it five times on a loop earlier. Anyone else having the same problem?

[bigbilly]

the vocals are already recored by Nile Rogers. Put it this way the biggest crowd reaction at Coachella recently was when the video got played between bands.

probably not going to happen, my original point was that is not difficult to do.

they could make a video for the song to go with it.

If they do play it (which I still doubt somewhat), surely it will be a sort of 'cover' version with Chic participating and some member(s) of Chic performing Pharrell's part? Wouldn't expect any pre-recorded vocals or the robot sounding bit to even feature, just the riff and some cover-style vocals.

maybe i'm giving Pharrell / his vocal talent too much credit as now, thinking about it, i can't see any reason why Nile / backing singers couldn't replicate Pharrell's parts. if they did play it it'd probably get the biggest response from the crowd (even amongst all those other hits) so it would be something quite special. but as i've said before, if they don't play it, i'm really not gonna notice

[Worcester woman]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh! Freak Out! I so can't wait to see these. I' gonna bring the biggest handbag to dance around!

'Biggest response from the crowd?' Really? Lets hope not, given that they will play far better songs than that.

purely because it's current / people maybe won't have expected it to be played / people will scream purely because Daft Punk have made some kind of appearance at the festival. everybody knows what you're getting in a Chic set so if they played Get Lucky it'd be the only real 'surprise'

[Wooderson]

People seem to forget that Daft Punk's last two records were pish.

If a snippet of a song by a cult dance act gets a better reaction than some of the other superior songs Rodgers has written I'll despair. I also hope the atmosphere doesn't get ruined by a load of obsessives/Radio 1 chart music fans showing up just because they think said cult dance act will be on and then leaving after a snippet has been played. See, the thread positivity is getting ruined by the obsessives....

[eoinca]

Megabowl is dead right. Daft Punk can fuck right off.

[russycarps]

pfffff there's no daft punk chat in the nick cave thread.

Come, leave this thread, come over to the cave-side!

Perhaps this should be in the confessions thread, but I've got a 10 day family holiday in france in about a month and some other stuff lined up before Glasto, but ALL I can think about is that Friday and this gig. Looking forward to it so so much.
