Jobby Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Better than the Chelmsford performance imo (the one we got as an xmas pro-shot). We slag off Matt's tone from that era but the crunch here is mega. Them choruses, that 'fading' belt, that whammy fuckery. Easily in with a shout for my fave Dead Star. The Reading '11 performance of Feeling Good is surprisingly good as well imo. I usually write off any performances of that after '01. Sounds heavier than I remember it being back then though, w/ some powerful 'blossom' and 'freedom' belts (tho the latter was marginally better at Leeds). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7iRTThDTN5g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clunge Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 It's such a shame they didn't dig out Dead Star for R&L 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartianSpaghettiRider Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 It's such a shame they didn't dig out Dead Star for R&L 2011. They didn't dig down nor found enough faith to perform it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobby Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 It's such a shame they didn't dig out Dead Star for R&L 2011. I knowwww, was thinking that while listening back to them </3 Futurism was an understandable miss back then but didn’t Chris actively hint at Dead Star iirc? I remember blurting out ‘Dead Star???’ the second What’s He Building started, and then again just before Knights as Matt whipped out the Drop D (alas, for Stockholm). Hadn’t seen it back then and thought I probs never would so I was a bit gutted, even after seeing my #1 album in full Even kept looking back at the stage as I left out of paranoia they’d come back on and do it. Looking back it is hard to begrudge them though tbf, after playing all those songs again for the first time in ages amongst a legit 2 hour set. .......coulda dropped that 5 minute UD tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GSMU7 Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 setlist.fm says it got played all of 9 times overall, and that weirdly 3 of them were in the Milan residency. I must have been unlucky then because i didn't get it at my Milan gig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clunge Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Not necessarily among the very best, but those 2015 gigs with all the Psycho tour rotations bleeding into the sets was such a good era. They sounded ace live too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YYba58D834 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AbsolutiioN Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Not necessarily the best performance, but the first two falsettos of this The Handler performance are pretty great: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_00VhRWgVDw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frozenbanana Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Yay Drones songs, just what this thread, er, needs... This is the best live version of The Handler apart from Download (where he got the lyrics wrong), right? (Still not a patch on the studio version) [YT] [/YT] Also this should have gone on the Psycho DVD, not the Exeter version (even though I was at Exeter) for that outro: [YT] [/YT] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blubb0r Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 the gloria gig was all in all very good it had a brilliant version of supremacy as well... but it seems, that they've taken it down - it was on youtube. and yeah, there've been fury and assassin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clunge Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Fucking hell, this was a great gig. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIrMOD5Va5c Perfect mix of old and new, little to no faff between songs, Matt on srsly good form. The sound is pretty superb too, drums perhaps just a little high in the mix but everything else is sweet. They even manage to get Chris's harmonies about spot on too. I challenge anyone to watch that followed by the 2017/18 performances and not find it superior in every respect. I'm going to do everything I can to catch them early on the next tour. Was so glad to see them at Download 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dom and Chris in particular were so tight and Matt didn't constantly sound laboured 45 minutes into sets. Mayan gig had some pretty good performances too, especially of Bliss. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dmZt4Q2jpo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSmallPrint02 Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 I think 2015 was definitely one of the highlight years for many songs, Bliss especially. The performance of it at Brighton Dome reminds me a lot of classic Origin-era Matt. Especially at the end of the final chorus where he drops the final line and has fun with the hullabaloons instead. Throws me back to Hullabaloo itself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKbNAKuQEb0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobby Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 ^ weirdly similar experience Had the exact same thought at the end of the Manchester performance when Matt ended up laughing through the last lines and eventually stopped to point and shout about something flying through the crowd over the mic (sumat like “What the fuck is that?? Looks like a fucking ____”). With the mad crowd and balloons, it felt like I’d stepped into through a 2001 wormhole for a minute. If only they’d dare close with it </3 Yes 2015 was a v good time guys, stop reminding me ‘cos I miss it. Though I do think we should appreciate 2017/18 for the By Request gigs, TAB, Stockholm and Showbiz’s comeback alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
