Eve of Distraction, haha, that must've been autocorrect  ;D
But it's fitting, as I was walking to the tube while typing the post and was distracted by trying not to run into things or being run over and shit like that.

Btw, on Saturday there was somebody with a professional video camcorder (Sony PXW-FS5 or FS7, definitely not what the general audience brings along) in the audience.

Also, is this tour the first time they use the same visuals (Blue floating women, K+D+B birds) for two different songs (Snow/STA and Wide Open) during the same set?

"Dont' Think 2 Free Yourself" live movie? :)

Yes. But Wide Open is an encore song, so no problem here.
Hi Kevin!

The Brothers are notorious for that, they did the church glass for setting sun and The Reel back in 2015 & 16, and did a DNA strand for The Pills wont help you now and Hoops in 2007. I could list a few more but that would be off topic.

YAS
"The music Gets Louder, The Lights swirl faster, the chap who freaks out hasn't passed the acid test... A surprising number of these youngsters don't even know who Timothy Leary is..."

Wonderful review, Stefan! Glad you were able to catch Wide Open AND the reel live as opposed to Gelsenkirchen.

Got To Keep On has to be one of the longest live tracks, nearly 7 minutes! The only two longer tracks I remember at the top of my head are The Reel and Escape Velocity.

The gig in Gelsenkirchen and our Forum meeting was an amazing evening as well, I wouldn't have wanted to miss it for the world:)

In 2015 and 16, they played the British Silhouette Guy (I think originally from Dissolve? They have done so many silhouette  visuals) during OOC (at least at the two gigs I checked, 2015 Apple Festival and 2016 Hammersmith London
)

Was at the Dublin gig on Monday and oh man what a gig it was  :o
Was at the Friday Alexandra Palace gig too and the Dublin one was (slightly) better. It was very similar alright but just seemed a bit more polished or something. They made some changes and it seemed to flow better whatever they did. The crowd also seemed more responsive too, when a track would start the place would go bananas. Its weird coz London gig was a Friday and Dublin was a Monday so you would have expected it to the be the other way around. Have some videos, let me know if you want me to upload them.
What is the acid track they play when the robots come out? Absolutely class  :music
Also agree the robots aren't out for long enough, think of the logistics of bringing them around the world to each gig and only have them come out for one track. Such a waste but when they're out its  :o

Please do!
Was at the gig myself, spent most of the night by the sound desk area and had a decent view. Loved the set, really was a great mix of old & new. EBW 12 was great to hear live vs the YouTube videos. Seriously good flow to the gig. I thought that the set was better than Belfast 2016, and loved seeing them indoors at long last. Downside was how packed it was on the floor, next time I might go for balcony seats!
I left without my phone on the night, so I don't have videos here, I'm waiting for the fiancée to send them to me, will post mine when I get them.
