I wanted to, but I could not make it work. Is this the only non-festival show in the US this tour?

I love these post-show statements. What were the best moments? How was Reflexion?
Title: Re: July 30 - San Francisco - The Armory
Post by: WhiteNoise on Jul 31, 2015, 09:05
did they play Reflexion? AFAIK they only did Reflexion once during the very first encore, it's been only TPPR every single other time.

This made me significantly less bitter about missing the unadvertised Sonar opening show, cause they didn't play it there.

Someone posted the first 20 minutes in full HD, unedited, and it's labeled "Part 1". I think we got a full recording (!!!).

This performance of EML Ritual is INCREDIBLE:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKwkxau0G7g

Outro is awesome, that delay on the whoops is fantastic, and the circular light rig! I was so far up front at Sonar I didn't even notice it!

No reflexion. They had about 10 minutes to 12 when brb  was done.  The set was indoors. They could. Of added it.
The whole van stroke set I saw people sitting in the row of bleachers atop. Then tnn played and  saw a flashlight leading to the stairs behind the stage. If I knew those guys were there the whole time.  I could of tried for an autograph  :'(

This was such. an. amazing. set.

I can't wait for tomorrow.

Csar's track list is about right I think.

I was a little disappointed that we didn't hear Reflexion, but honestly they played my 3 favorite Chemical Brothers songs, and there is absolutely no way that I can find any sort of disappointment with the set as a whole.

I was moved in ways that I long since forgot and felt energy that I seemingly never felt before.

God. Damn. Amazing.

I'm praying for the Reel tomorrow!

But I don't want to get too excited about it because they usually don't play it at festivals here in S California. Except that one time at Coachella, during Push The Button.

But hey, there is plenty enough to get excited about! I'm just happy to be going to a Chems show again. I have no idea how I'll sleep tonight!

I can't remember if I have seen TPPR live. They may have played it in 2007 here. I am excited to here Sunshine Underground  and Escape Velocity again. I may have very soiled pants after the set, so stay away from me unless that is your thing.

Here a clip of Hey boy Hey Girl that I recorded with a guest appearance by Pooters Hands!
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2zzotk_hey-boy-hey-girl_music

The Show was Crazy, well worth the 400 mile 7 hour drive to SF and back, and still wanting moar! I had my spotify playlist playng chems setlist looping atleast 4 times the entire trip while i checked out the nice 105 Fahrenheit  scenery. Was able to book a hotel 2 miles from the venue on the same street and was only waiting for my vacation approval to really make this happen. I got there aound 5 pm. and quickly started getting ready. Left at 8pm took the local bus and arrived at 9. The crew at the armory were very nice, a quick scan of my ID and ticket and i was in. Ticket taker told me i looked like his nephew and told me to rock on in there, So awesome. Waited for pooter to get inside and we met up along with Biff, Pooter Girlfriend  and their other friends in front of the sound booth. To me it kind of felt like how whirly described Ed in an old post of how he seemed awkward and freaked out. haha. To me, is like knowing someone but not really, along with being so far from where ive been my whole life kind of made me feel a bit that way. I thank pooter for being very welcoming for my last min first time trip. Sf people are much kinder then what im use to back in L.A. haha,
All in All it was a great experience, seeing Adam much more active on stage then when the tour started is great to see.
We still got today to enjoy so i dont want to spoil too much of it. I taking some friends with me of which 1 went with me to the hollywood bowl show and the other who went with me to the hollywood screening and has been waiting to see them since. I know Inchem had a chance to meet them and talked for a bit before the showing. Got up early today and still got a few more things to get done. see you all at the show! :music

Great to read your traveling and live set experience! Imagine, if you hadn't gone, you wouldn't have known you looked like a security guard's relative :D I love those things, unexpected friendly encounters..

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqMFTYJFT1o

Man, the more I watch footage from the new tour, the more I notice how fucking excellent Adam and his crew put this light show together. Look at the strobes of HBHG at the beginning. The two in the middle are exactly synced up with the vocal hook. They spread as the vocal starts and contract when the vocal ends. Just perfect.

I was reading your last 2 posts KNE, and man to feel that sigh of relief when you touchdowned at the Armory. I'm kind of a lazy ass when it comes to traveling, but when I see all this 30 minute footage of this show, It showed me how SF was not that far from where I am, and that I should've came to this show as well.

Didn't noticed the lights synced to HBHG! Keen observation but otherwise Adam stepped up on the visual process.

Sitting for 7 hours went by pretty quick to me. I'm not much of a road trip dude either but I'd feel like I would lose more for not going. I also wanted to check them out in an indoor setting and this was it. The armory is a very nice venue, like you said, very similar to Olympia but I'm sure at 1/3 the size. You should of joined inchem. We could of had a little SoCal fan Invasion at the armory.

I freakin love road trips! The one thing I no longer have the stamina for is doing a round trip voyage like that in such a short amount of time. Next time the Chems are booked for San Francisco, I want to be there. Though I would consider flying just to save time and energy.

For the past 13 years, I have kept a scrap book of sorts. More of a collage I've made.

Most of the ticket stubs are for Chemical Brothers shows, but not necessarily. Some of the selections were a bit arbitrary, perhaps, but all of the shows were noteworthy.

For the past few years, though, I neglected a few. M83, for instance, was incredibly moving, and I wish I had included the stub from that.

But the reason why I'm posting a pic of it here is that I finally was motivated again to add to the collage. Without question.
