Yep. 
 

Sabotage doesn’t do it for me.

The live recording from the six music festival didn't sound great and it didn't do that much for me on the Park... but live in Nottingham later in the year it was excellent.

Not as Good.as Dancing in the Dark though

Granted it doesnt match up to that fantastic West Holts moment... but credit to the boys for not trying to do another Dancing in the Dark...

Sabotage was totally unexpected and when i first saw it in the intimacy of Londons Village Underground it was genius..

Couldnt find the Sabotage performance from that night... but Flutes is darned good... (nearly a year ago.!)

As it's a year since the Park gig, it seemed appropriate to post this up and share its story.

I was lucky enough to get the setlist at the end, which really put the cherry on top of what was already an amazing day. When I packed my bags on Monday morning I thought I had lost it, so emptied everything and searched through before finding it in the important pocket part of the bag. I got it in a cheap frame when we got home and it took pride of place on the wall below my WWII deep shelter sign.

A few months later everything went into boxes as we were moving to Australia. We were originally told that the shipping process would take a maximum of 12 weeks. 18 weeks later and the subcontracted company here finally delivered the boxes. Apart from one. This, of course, was the box that had the fewest items in it, but one of the most important sentimentally to me, for it had the setlist. We were told that it would have been misplaced in their warehouse and to check back next week. Next week, we were told that they would now start looking for it. A few weeks after that, on chasing again, we were finally told that the subcontractor had no knowledge of the box and that was that. The setlist, along with the other contents of the box, was gone, sacrificed to the shipping gods.

I contacted the original company to open up an insurance claim for other things in the box and the very next day they contacted me to let me know that they had found the box. It had never left London! This was a) quite the relief and b) entirely expected given the company's performance up to that point. They quickly agreed to fly the box to us and I was reunited with the setlist about a month ago. It is now stationed on the wall by the toilet door, opposite a picture I took of Radiohead's 2017 set.

The moral of the story here is to never, ever use PSS international removals, and if you have bits of paper that are precious to you, take them out of their frames and carry them in your luggage!

The Beasties are one of my favourite acts of all time so obviously I bloody loved Hot Chip playing Sabotage the two times I saw it. 

But, for me, Dancing in the Dark was better. 

Them covering Everywhere by Fleetwood Mac was magical too.

Streaming a live show

Anyone else buy a ticket for this? Part of me feels it's a bit late to the party for streamed gigs, but it does sound like it will be quite special. So I thought fuck it and went in.

I just set my alarm to try for a ticket to the actual gig tomorrow; can't see it happening though!

I think it's worded badly. As I understand it there is no audience, but they are selling tickets to see the stream.

EDIT: unless i'm mistaken, and in which case i'll be there!

EDIT 2: From their email below, I think it's just tickets to a stream, no audience.

After all the cancellations, it’s really important that we perform live and direct to you the fans. We’ve teamed up with Streamland to play our only show this year - live from the incredible Dreamland in Margate - with all the maximalist production of a full festival set. It’ll be streamed into your screens at high resolution.

I don't think there's an audience? There are two sales because there is a presale and a normal sale. The presale code is just HOTCHIP if anyone is interested.

It is worded badly though, because it does say "a live audience". But I think that just means the streamed-to live audience?

As much as I'm pissing on my own (Hot) chips here re my chances of getting a ticket, yes there is . I've got the press release here:

'Streamland will also welcome a small, socially distanced audience, creating atmosphere and ambience and giving the band the opportunity to bounce off a live audience, adding another layer of authenticity.'

Oh right! Not seen that anywhere. I wouldn't be likely to go anyway to be honest, so you don't need to worry about competing with me.

    • They are going to have Blink 182 for sure, early June upto around Werchter weekend I'd say for them. Two of Sweden Rock,  Greenfield and RFP are going to miss out.
    • I've come across a few this weekend saying Deftones aren't big enough for Download.   I would recommend b&b hotel hbf the night before....cheap, comfortable and very decent. Within 10 minutes from the station and a tram stop outside to jump on...all travel is free during the festival time as well with a kombi. Lidl is very good and cheap I can't lie....€6 for a chair with carey handle, €20 with a bag too...you can work that out yourself.   If you camp, get up at 5am and go to the queue....literally don't question it as now I know.     The travel wise part is easy when you get the hang of it and I've never had an easier exit from a festival today tbh. We were camped in the turn left section but past the registration and to get water you have to come right out.   Opening up an exit through he camp at least by Friday morning when everyobe is there would be much better but you csnt walk through general if you're green and sonon.   I think the issue for me probably too is I have never taken like a mutliple litre water too, I've always done a 6 pack water from like poundland lol but you definitely need it. I had one shower that was cold lol   Talking of getting into the front, Volbeat was the only easy one, for Maiden and especially Linkin Park if you weren't in the queue for it by at least the last quarter ot Architects you had no hope....it was shocking. I do like orbit to sit down. I had to decide to sack off Within Temptation too or no chance.   Second stage biggest gripe is the faff of walking all the way round when VIP or whatever it is literally get access to each bit. I did read tbh before going people though RIP/Ring was turning too much the wrong way.   Also as a side note, caught some of Limp Bizkit last night too and they are not headliner but any distance at all. Yes they pull a crowd...they would do with LP finished but on the grand scale its a super weak booking. Stop, start for video recordings all the way through a headline set?, 1hr 15 minutes and you can't play for that time. I'm so glad they were not chosen to headline main.   On another thing, if RIP played it right they'll get GC and Avril to sub/second stage headline on the Blink day.   Toilets and cleanliness is a big plus I will say that.    
    • Any of the likes of Keo, Basht. and Cardinals could all fit in here.  Although they’re the sort of bands that could fit many of the stages at Glastonbury
