The Chemical Brothers 2019

[zeppelin]

Right, my journey down to London for All Points East has begun. Got Don't Think on, beer and G&T, and I am so excited for this. 

[DJL]

Today I should have been seeing the Chems and Hot Chip  at APE with the largest group of friends we have taken to a gig/festival in years... instead I’ve been in the hospital with my step-son.

As soon as he is better i’ll be writing to Emily to suggest she reconsiders her Saturday scheduling ?.

 

[Flying_Hellfish]

Looking forward to the setlist!

[Divein]

If that doesn’t get you in the mood then nothing will.

[Flying_Hellfish]

Oh man

[Jcatley]

That was simply outstanding tonight 

[gordong]

Got butterflies watching that. Wish I’d went tonight but even more excited for their Glastonbury set now.

Makes you wonder if Pyramid and Other are going to step up the video aspects. Things have moved on quite a bit in the last couple of years. It's not just the likes of Coachella that have more elaborate screens than Glastonbury these days.

Glastonbury has always lagged behind with that kind of stuff, so I'm not expecting anything different.

Whilst it might move more slowly, it still moves. Signs are good that The Park has some AV this year and the Pyramid screens have grown and become more hi-res over the years. I wouldn't be surprised to see some improvements, even if they're modest.

Tell you what lads, I’ve seen Chems 5 times now and last night was as good as it gets. 

Visuals were off the chain, the new tunes sound amazing live and it was just wall to wall bangers. 

Unreal. 

[DJL]

Setlist looks good - lots of new tracks

 

Edit - lots of big ‘uns missing obviously but they have tunes for days

I think the shape and size of the Pyramid certainly does hamper bigger/more ambitious productions

If you get close enough it's still very impressive, feels like you're under the roof of it...

Shame the speakers front left of stage blew on the first song. Didn't really notice until we went further back for the last bit after a mate needed a piss and it was booming back there!

Really enjoyed the unforecast rain... along with 99% of the crowd who took no coat.

Think it was a good pointer, too, that it lashed it down for 45 minutes yet the ground was affected despite the thousands of people walking on it.

Out of interest, when you say front left do you mean left as you were looking at the stage?

Yeah the rain was a shocker wasn’t it.

Yeah left as looking at the stage.

I meant WASN'T affected here. Big difference....

Ok that makes sense then. Thought it might have been. My mate said it sounded quiet but I hadn’t noticed until she said it.

I agree about the ground, hard as rocks.

Could be my favourite New Order tune, walked away from their last set singing ooo ooo ooooo looked amazing.

I think I’ve decided that my 4-way Saturday clash is coming down in favour of The Chems. Was wavering towards HC, but No Geography is a brilliant album and I really want to hear some of it live.

However, want to get relatively close to the front but can’t stomach watching any of The Courteeners. What are my chances of getting in to a good position after they’ve finished? I’m hoping for a large section of the crowd going off to watching The Killers...

How big was their crowd in 2015?

I think it will be pretty easy to slip in near the front, think the courteerners fans will be more likely at the killers

I think this is the case too....

Though I really don't think you need to be TOO near the front for Chems.

With Chems and Tame Impala both headlining Other, it'd be a good year to get those visuals upgraded...
