Help fill in the gaps if you see any missing dates or any errors.

Let me know if certain dates are DJ dates.

Feel free to share any memories or song lists.

Using Setlist.fm as a starter. I'm sure it's incomplete.

This could be fun.

(there may be some earlier 96 US concerts here, or very late 1995 concerts)

Organic Festival.

I don't have many regrets. But getting altitude sickness and having to bail before the Chemicals was one.

Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.

Was that your first attempt at a Chemical Brothers gig, Whirly? When was your first show anyway? Missing a Chems show because of sickness has to be devastating. Inchemwetrust almost fell victim in the desert heat, but made an awesome recovery.

Some dates have been updated in years 1998 and 2005

Pulled out some DJ dates from this ancient MTV article during the release of "Brothers Gonna Work It Out"

and then I came across this via google...  http://njbrouns.home.xs4all.nl/Livesets.htm

Apparently old forum member Den B's fansite! Will file through this later. Should be a huge help. Where he at anyway?

It would have been my first attempt, yes. My husband wanted to go to a big rave up so we got tickets to Organic. I knew who the Chems were, had heard their music at clubs and raves, but wasn't all that familiar with them, honestly. We were more familiar with the Orb and my husband was a Meat Beat Manifesto fan so Organic seemed like a good time! I went to one rave type festival before, but never a festival in the mountains. I was exposed to the desert heat and sun earlier that day, was poorly dressed for nighttime in the mountains, and not hanging well with the altitude was the topper. Life's cruel joke is I love the mountains and I've never gotten altitude sick since! How lame is that? :D My first show was Coachella 1999 and it was perfect in every way!

I'm not sure what happened to Den B. He was a nice kid, and he just loved the Chems. He fell out of touch with the forum and he and I emailed a bit for a time. This was quite a few years ago. He had a really talented eye for photography!

You missed Canada in 2002, come with us Tour. Hershey Center Mississauga Ontario. I think the date was in June. i could be mistaken though considering i was there adn it has been what 13 years since?


Just updated a bitchload of dates.

Redout, thanks for the tip. Found it! And the month was April, from what info I've been provided.

They really toured a lot harder than I initially thought in the late 90's.  They even managed to play Hawaii back in 1997.

The Q101 twisted 6 show in 1999 on December 4th  is an interesting one because they had just played their Brixton sets on the 2nd and 3rd.  And then to come all the way to Chicago to play for a shorten set at this Indoor Alternative Festival (other bands only went 5-6 songs deep on their set list)? Did this really happen? Was it just a DJ set?  I can't really find conformation that they actually played.

Was totally surprised to find that they opened for U2 in back in 2000. Did anybody attend this?
Last Edit: Jul 28, 2015, 07:04 by B

The Chems also dj'd May 30, 2004 in Boston (event was the WBCN River Rave)

As for their opening slot for U2? That would have been interesting to see!

The Chems also did a closed gig for Microsoft. It was in... I want to say 2006 or 2007? I know it happened, I just can't find anything on it right now.

The Chemistry Brothers performed for my friends and I in 2008 in the park by me. I paid them 50 bucks.

Oh, hahahah! I can't believe that site is still around! The guy who ran that site originally (his name was David White I think) was on the old Chems mailing list. My review of Coachella was something I originally posted to the list. Pre-forum days!

Update to their first stateside gig in Orlando. Looks like it took place in 1993. And found this awesome treasure:

It didn't, it was for sure 1994. You maybe found the same great Edge retrospective thing on the show, which mistakenly quotes it as 1993 despite interviewing loads of important people who were there at the time, lol.

It's 1994 because Adam/Tom/Ed in interviews and in the Don't Think booklet confirm that their very first show was at Sabersonic, and that was early 1994. Also they mentioned the crowd going mental as soon as Chemical Beats started up, and Chemical Beats wasn't out until 1994. And yeah they might have had a working demo of Chemical Beats going in 1993, but the crowd wouldn't have recognized it.
Never for money, always for love.

'Don't Think' booklet:

Quote
"Smith's Introduction to the band came the night he provided visuals for the band's first gig at Andrew Weatherall's Legendary Sabresonic Club at the start of 1994"

Not to be nitpicky, but this only implies that this was there first gig at Weatherall's Club, not necessarily their first gig overall. Thus, leaving open the idea that they could have been done some gigs for awhile.

If you check the website (brianbright.com) where I pulled the flyer from, You'll see that this Brian Bright guy has a lot of Rave/Club flyers from all over Florida, in chronological order. Now, that doesn't necessarily finalize correct date placement, but it's curious how it matches with the Orlando Weekly article.

Additionally, (and this is where it gets supper nerdy)  If you backtrack the dates of July 3rd of 1994, you'll find it falls on a Sunday. Which from a party/rave standpoint does not make since. However, July 3rd of 1993 is a Saturday. This fits perfectly. They probably played at midnight or sometime into the early morning of the 4th. Thus the confusion with the 3rd and 4th.  Boom! Happy Independence Day.

EDIT: and I'm an idiot, I just need to look at the flyer as far as answering the date debate. It's 1994

Good memory Whirly! I actually think it was 2005, and they played a show for Microsoft to close their E3 presentation.

Thanks for pointing out that Canada hasn't had a gig since 2002.
That would have blown my mind. If I had a mind.
"We going up!" and then pogo for the stars
"why yes, yes you are crazy and I love you for it!" Whirly

In retrospect, the last few tours that landed in Denver should have probably gone to Toronto. Maybe they pissed off the Canadian Mounties or were caught smuggling maple syrup on their last visit.

The viscous maple spills won't help you now.
i love chem bros omg!!!!!!!!!!!!
