[TheBang]

You have taken our trust and abused it! For shame!

[nosajmunson]

OK, that would have been a monumental set list. You Suck!:)

But, it was kind of funny. I was going to buy both anyway.
Who knows, maybe some of those will get played. Here's to hoping!

[BrotherLovesDub]

NO!

i was joking!


sorry, i'll edit it. don't want anyone spending money on this lame joke.

[BeautifulBurnout]

I didn't mean it about not texting the setlist - I would have, cos BLD knows how much I adore his little bizzy self anyhoo.

And I should soooo bloody be there right now but I have had an upset stomach all day and felt like absolute crap so I threw in the towel and came home again. Didn't want to take the risk of puking (or anything else gastro-intestinal) all over people. :(

I'm with you, watching from the forums, BB. SO sorry to hear this though. Everyone at my company has what you just described. I think its global :P

[rayray]

it must have been an impressive set list !
got some tix for jersey city today - can't wait

[TheBang]

Aww, janie, that sucks. I hope you feel better soon.

[twicezero]

does it help if i say the real set was luvely?

[dubman]

yes, yes it is... ughhhh

[BrotherLovesDub]

it only helps if you say what was on the setlist.

[TheBang]

And don't make **** up either.

I went to the Thursday gig, after also going to the first of the Roundhouse gigs back in October/November time. I was so impressed by both that I booked tickets for tonight. My god, this was amazing. Amazing.

I'm not great with song titles (or my memory!) but Confusion The Waitress opened. Problems during Cowgirl, but they managed to keep it together. Juanita! .NUXX, as always. Moaner for an encore. King Of Snake. Pearl's Girl.

No order there. Just songs that scream in my mind.

Someone will no doubt come along with the full set list.


Why do some people believe that the smoking ban doesn't apply to them?

[Jamiel]

OK, before bed I will have a rough stab at a setlist, very rough, the CDs are still in the car am I am very tired.

Another really great gig, and about 2/3 of the tracks were different from last night. Didn't seem as packed, and I owe the venue an apology as there was bottled water at a stand, if not the bar.

Setlist (rough guess, and the middle order is wrong, but it gives you an idea of how different the set was from last night)

Confusion the Waitress
Rez/Cowgirl
'new track/improv' might be known to some, about 10 minutes long (not Bamboo), I hadn't heard it before.
Pearls Girl
Crocodile
Juanita
Twist (I can never remember the name of track 3 from One Hundred Days Off)
Jumbo
Jumbo jam/Nicodemus?
Two Months Off
You Do Scribble (with 'siren' opening)
Born Slippy Nuxx
Beautiful Burnout
Everybody Jack
King of Snake

encore
Moaner

No doubt someone will post a corrected list, and with more details of the improv, link sections. But that was a general gist of it.

Juanita was amazing, first time I have seen You Do Scribble (also amazing). King of Snake was not as intense as last night, but Moaner made NIN seem gentle, stage flooded with smoke, I couldn't see that band, and streams of strobed light cuttng through it all (yet again - AMAZING)

As Zebedee would say 'Time or bed'

[Lx_Nen]

great gig, much more dancey than last night, a rare confusion the waotress to start cowgirl/Rez made a very welcome return, luetin was chilled, juanita and you, do scribble, can you feel this bass seemed more like a track than a filler this time, inflatables saved till near the end, jumbo/kos/moaner really strong at the end, and one long instrumental in the middle that I didn't recognize!

Great gig, much better than last night, which is really saying something

[potatobroth]

good lord that sounds amazing.

[Troy McClure]

Juanita and Twist??? back to back??? holy guacamole.

Confusion the Waitress sounds like a killer opener.


Guess I'm ordering this show too. Just checked the US Dollar to GBP exchange rate....$1.98 per GBP. I'd laugh if it weren't sad.

Jason

[BrotherLovesDub]

wait, Luetin was played? where in the set?

[BrotherLovesDub]

and it was Twist and not Little Speaker? if it was Twist, did karl get spangly on the guitar?

[Lx_Nen]

it was one of the instrumental ahdo tracks, bit my brain is too addled to know which one, seems I'm even worse on naming those tracks. I just guessed Lutein as that's been on other setlists.

[twicezero]

My version of the setlist is something like:

Confusion The Waitress
Rez/Cowgirl
Air Towel Improv (about 8 mins)
Crocodile
Pearls Girl
Born Slippy.NUXX
Twist
? (Everybody Jack)
Juanita
Two Months Off
You Do Scribble
Jumbo
Poem
? ('talks to god' words but nothing else of spoonman - drums not very underworldy)
Beautiful Burnout
Can You Feel This Bass / King of Snake

Encore: Moaner


(I made it to King of Snake - its all my skin would allow - but loved the night)

[m.g.]

I agree with this setlist (was just checking with the liveherenow cd that I bought yesterday night) except that the Air Towel Improv (the whole track is lasting 8:08 min but after 3:20 it becomes "something" which is not Air Towel... & then, at 4:49 it becomes "something else" but I leave to better specialists than me to find out what's mixed with it (I'm not that good with titles...) ;)

The gig last night was really great, far better imo than the day before. Was very cool to see you all, Janie, Joris, Michiel, Michal (& all the Polish gang), crazysugarboy &, very briefly, Steve...

[King of Snake]

just got back from london, they were two amazing gigs!! (again I might add. They are really on a roll this tour).
For some reason (either me fucking up while purchasing the ticket online, or maybe roundhouse made an error) on thursday my ticket was for the circle which is the upstairs area, rather than the main space. So I got seperated from m.g. and janie. But after a while I actually came to enjoy my high vantage point at the back cause it gave an unusual perspective of the stage + crowd. And it did seem really crowded down there too so I was thankful for having all the space I needed to dance around :)

Second night we got there earlier so me, joris and marc made it up to the front (couple rows down), where we eventually spotted crazysugarboy and the polish crew (sorry guys, forgot your names). Steve was around but we'd lost sight of him after entering the venue. Sadly Janie had to bail out earlier in the afternoon because she was feeling ill.

I thought Karl, Rick and Darren all looked very into it for both gigs, even though I could see Rick sometimes getting annoyed at the machines when they weren't doing his bidding. Even so when there were any problems they managed to get out of it without any noticeable trouble. I find it always interesting to watch how they (try to) communicate on stage. Rick is very much in charge all the time giving hand signals to Karl ("stop/start singing now ok?") and counting on his fingers to Darren when a song is taking a new turn, with Darren in turn doing his best to sync up his laptop with Ableton Live to the main songs. It's obvious they are actually improvising and doing a true LIVE set which is still a pretty unique thing esp with all the equipment they have on stage when compared to most dance acts who perform with just one or two laptops and a midi controller.

[crazysugarboy]

Wow! What a couple of days those were. Gr8 to meet up again with Michiel, Joris, Janie, and Marc, but what a bummer Janie was poorly on Friday - big hugs from Witney.

The two gigs were truly awesome - Rick, Karl, and Darren seem to be flying. Right from the first song on Thurs (Croc, I think) I knew that this was gonna be special. Born Slippy on Friday - well, what can I say (?) - I have never been to a gig where the crowd has got soooo into a song - the energy was so intense, it was if every member of the audience was on a million drugs! Just awesome!! And the setlists (??) The ult classics, the current popular, and then some real oldies (confusion the waitress - never heard that live! - cherry pie, spoonman, twist (last heard @ brixton 2002))

Plus, if that wasn't enough, a support act of outstanding musical creativity. I never would have believed that a guy with an amplified acoustic guitar, his voice, and some repeat/sequencer thingeys could create such beautiful and complex sonic soundscapes. A truly innovative and gifted musician. His guitar playing, particularly during the last track with the ever intesifying appregio, is just truly awesome. His singing voice reminded me of Brian Molko of Placebo. And by some freaky coincidence, my local record shop today (I live in a small market town in Oxfordshire) had a copy of his record "Charmed and Strange" - I am listening to it as I type.:)

Moaner

Absolutely amazing gig. Can't fault anything at all. Haven't read the entire thread as i've just got home so appoligies if this has been said:

- During Rez, Rick looked pretty worried as something wasn't working. Called on a tech guy to look at one of the laptops. Guessing the samples hadn't loaded in properly.
- I think Rick/Karls/Darrens children were by the side of the stage! Some youngsters definatly dancing around.
- The horsemen were around during KOS! One of the guys holding the spotlight on Karl was raving away as was someone else.
- Rick busy singing away during TMO.
- Best version of You Do Scribble i've ever heard. Third time i've seen it done and this one was very intense.
- Pearls Girl really strange the way it was done. Karl almost rushing through the main lyrics before the beats kicked in and Karl singing the chorus over the top.

Highlights for me are the mega intense KOS, NUXX with Billy Goat and You Do Scribble. I love the fact that they didn't even stick to their own setlist! Skyscraper would have been good mind, but with Confusion, Twist, Airtowel, Scribble, Newish Nuxx i wasn't complaining.

Im also sure i heard the lyrics to Skym somewhere, but need to listen to the gig in full and not skip around it like i have been. I can be more nerdy about anything if people want to know! Like the "I can't breathe" sample before Jumbo.

[swannman]

and it was Twist and not Little Speaker? if it was Twist, did karl get spangly on the guitar?

I'm curious about this, too -- did Karl do a guitar improv like in the 7/6/05 Sophia, Bulgaria show (or either of the '02 Creamfields)?

[King of Snake]

It was Twist, and yes Karl did play guitar on it, although it wasn't quite the full on guitar solo of some of those ealier Twist live versions.

So, I was listening to Roundhouse 4 for the first time today, and I'm like "Air Towel doesn't sound like Air Towel, but it sure sounds familiar." After searching around for a bit, I realized that it's "Phonestrap 6 Meets Autotrader 4". I love how these web bits show up at unexpected times, like "Bboy & Bgirl" in Atlanta.

Good Call. It is nice to hear these get worked in Live.
I really dig the BBoy&BGirl thingy at the end of Darc in Atlanta.
