Re: 2016 -07-22 Bluedot
Was at Bluedot too, and thought all 3 bands were great, worriedaboutsatan played a short intro set, then Public Service Broadcasting, then Underworld. I ended up on the front row with Janie (my partner who has grown to love UW), we also met Philip and his Wife, he lurks on here but travels internationally to see the boys on tour.

A great gig with some minor differences in flourish and mix, certainly enough to make the gig different, much like I felt Glastonbury was a bit different. A nice start to Nuxx.

Some interesting things, I got the Set List from the mixing tent, at least 10 minutes after the gig had finished (I have 4 or 5 setlists, Southbank, Roundhouse, Manchester several times, and now this.) does no one ask for them anymore - when though it is typed now ?

There was no encore, and it was a short set at 1:45 ish.

The sound was great, we were a bit more to the side for PSB and the sound was great there too, but closer, directly in front of a big bass speaker, it was spot on, perhaps the best big venue sound I have experienced, with no washing over towards the end when your hearing starts to go.

Lastly, the organisers of Bluedot allowed Digital SLR's so I was able to take some OK kit, (not my best fast lenses and D5 camera) but a D750, 20mm and 24-85. As a result the images are nearly as good as my Mcr Albert Hall set (posted on here). Great to be able to shoot so close, considering I was not in the press pit. Will post up some when edited fully. Thanks Bluedot and thanks for a great to Karl and Rick.

BTW, where is Darren Price ? Does the new desk make him redundant ?
