Re: 2011-07-03 Main Square Festival - Arras, France
You're right, they did not play it I'm a bit disappointed by the performance, for this reason but also because they did not really feel into it, for example during King Of Snake, Karl used to grab a camera and go crazy but here he stayed behind the machines with Rick and Darren. And especially at the beginning, it was kinda flat, like the remix of Push Upstairs that they played is boring compared to the original ! It started to kick ass only towards the half. Also I had the impression that the songs were played slower than the original versions. Plus no inflatable posts, and no balloons during Nuxx, I miss that !
The performance was not totally bad, it just could have been better. Or maybe I'm just that kind of fans who expect too much... Anyway, even though I was disappointed by Barking (especially Scribble, which sounded ike a massace of YDS), I have to admit that the tracks from it sound great live !

Setlist :

Rez/Cowgirl
Pearl's Girl
Everybody Jack
Always Loved A Film
Push Upstairs (boring remix)
Between Stars
Spikee (new version ? Sounded different from the original, and shorter)
Two Months Off
Scribble
Nu Train
King Of Snake (demo version intro, wicked !)
Born Slippy .NUXX

I did not take any video, sorry (I decided not to take videos of concerts any more when I was stolen my cellphone with all my pics and vids on it during a concert) but I recorded the audio (mediocre quality), don't know if I can post it here.
Shame they don't come than often to France, I'd like to see them for a proper gig, not a shortened festival one...
