Found a really short clip from The Chemical Brothers Live @ Starship Universe
I am unsure of the date, but if any of you know, please mention it

That's interesting. Maybe it's worth a try contacting ARTE, the French and German TV collaboration that broadcasted this. Maybe they still have it in their archieves or at least know its date and specific festival name.
The Starship Universe sign looks like a sign for the tent/stage rather than the name of the festival. That's my guess anyway. You can also see that the sign has sponsorship from MUZIK magazine which ran from 1995-2003. All of their back issues can be viewed online HERE.
Issue No1 actually has the Chems on the front cover. The interview inside was reproduced by The Guardian newspaper last year to mark the Chems 20th anniversary. There is no mention of this festival in the interview.
I'm guessing that MUZIK probably would have mentioned/reviewed this thing at some point, so if you're really keen, you could probably look through all of the issues until you find it...
Aww, that's so fun to scroll through. It's like a nostalgic time travel, the hair styles, clothes, the sun glasses, even the magazine fonts and all.
That chems article on page 54 is fun to read too.
The dyniamic quality of the Chemical Brothers' music is not in doubt. But it could be said that there's not a lot of elbow room for any soul.
ED: "I don't think that's true at all. What do you want us to do? Get Luther Vandross to sing with us? A lot of our music is pretty brutal, but I'd say that it has far mor soul, more fire and passion than most so-called soul records
That is so true!
