Topic Chemical Brothers

[Tyonks]

Heart says Chemical Brothers, Head says The Who for me.

No question for me, chems are my favourite artists of all time and yet I've only ever seen them do a dj set.

[Matt42]

This truly is gonna be amazing isn't it?

[Gazsimmo1980]

Can't think of a better way to spend sunday night at glasto. Really looking forward to it. Trying to remember if I've seen them since the 90s, surely must have but can't think when. Will take something seriously unmissable on another stage to drag me away.

[moheetoes]

I can't wait to see them back at glasto, my all time faves

Excuse my dance music ignorance,but when I watch the videos of their live shows it looks like a DJ set to me.

What's the difference between their live show and a DJ show?

live show is their own music with a flashy stage production

Dj set is them playing any songs they feel like by any artist and with a more scaled down production

And their songs are normally coming from real synthesisers and drum machines rather than just being prerecorded.

Nicely put.

Ah right, thanks for the answers.

In my ignorance I was expecting band members on stage playing instruments,a la Prodigy and Pendulum.

Looks alright,might take a peep when/if I'm wondering past.

[Matt42]

I must admit, when it first became clear i'd seeing them I only knew their basic hits

Now under further research, they are pretty much topping my list of 'must see's'

I am so so so excited

[DJL]

When those two tracks have come on shuffle recently I've really enjoyed them. Good stuff

yeah they've grown on me massively. Sometimes I Feel So Deserted especially is gonna be amazing live. cannot wait

I think GO is going to be seriously big live, such a good vibe to it I think it's fucking marvellous

[Fake Encore]

My memory not 100% but, when the headlined and coldplay were on............I think I knew 2/3 songs.

It was enjoyable but, it's not like they crack out a greatest hits or anything approaching that.

[wedgie]

Anyone reckon there'll be any chance of 'the sunshine underground' being played? I would love to see them do it

[WS_Jack_III]

think they used to do it way back. I'd love that to be played too, an absolute favourite of mine. Edited May 28, 2015 by WS_Jack_III

Gave Dont Think an aul whirl yesterday for the buzz. It had ben a while. Have to say if I end up on the Sunday seeing the Chems yet again it will be far from the worst thing in the world.

Solid tunage. Good for a closing party to a weekend.

I could imagine far worse ways to close out a Glasto weekend

M&S? Beyonce? Kasabian? I have unfortunately experienced them all as closers...................

(I really do need mates with better taste in music!)

[mrpman]

New stuff has grown on me a bit and if they beef them up a bit for live purposes they'll sound great.

Always a must see for me but I am torn between them and the Who. Not a massive fan of The Who but feel like I should watch them.

Heart says Chemical Brothers though.

I was in the same predicament until listening to Chems again a week or so ago, I realised I would only be going to see the Who to tick a box rather than because I wanted to see them. Chems it is for me.

I'm still torn, big fan of them both. I've said The Who thus far but I keep thinking back to how good Chemical Brothers were in 2011, really opened my eyes to them, still possibly the best time I've ever had at a gig. Think I may be leaning to them a little now, especially given how late it is in the day for The Who's career

[Dora]

As I said to my mate who is a fan of both.

You could possibly come away from the who thinking you should have watched the chems but there's no way you would come away from the chems wishing you had seen the who

Trying to find reviews of the first few shows of the tour, interested to see how Tom flying solo works. tried to look of the official forum but it just redirects to the main site and i can't find a link.

[FloorFiller]

Go

Sometimes I Feel So Deserted (Electronic Battle Weapon 11)

Acid Children / Chemical Beats
