[Sublime]

I actually did LOL

I was totally going to even make a joke about the star wipe but you beat me to it. Really though after this boring commercial shit I've been working on I just wanted to do something fun. I'll probably do a few more when I get around to it, be sure to keep you posted. I think most people get it though

[K3N5T3R]

1.Chemical Brothers
2.Daft Punk
3. Underworld

[Kyliediscope]

He made Daft Punk and The Chemical Brothers share the number one spot.
Hence:
1a.
1b.

[K3N5T3R]

[Yookeroo]

1a. Daft Punk
1b. Chemical Brothers
2. Underworld

I would go:
Live performance:
1. Daft Punk
2. Chemical Brothers
3. Underworld

Body of work:
1. Chemical Brothers
2. Underworld
3. Daft Punk

Soundtrack (for the heck of it...not meant to be taken seriously*):
1. Daft Punk
2. Underworld
3. Chemical Brothers

But if you want to pick the best EDM artist ever? Chemical Brothers. They're the Beatles of EDM.

Or not. Don't force me to defend my metaphor. I can't.

*Not that the first two categories are, it's all subjective taste

Lets stay on topic here...

I love the mix of Saturate to Believe.... So good!

Swoon to star guitar beats it

[zachyd]

For me its Galvanize -> Do It Again. So awesome.

[gooftroop]

Saturate is just amazing live, a definite highlight of the set for me with the paint exploding everywhere

And I'm not even going to fuck with that list, granted just putting those 3 on there skews things.

WOW. This is so pretty! I wish I recognized people in the shot, though.

Wasn't trying to even start a debate, just stating a belief. And I'm a Daft Punk nut, I actually love both Homework and Discovery. As penance (and desire to work on something that interests me rather than other bullshit) I have created this for your viewing pleasure:



I used several of the clips posted in this thread, been waiting for that bootleg to surface so now...the time has come to...GALVANIZE! My only request (no, DEMAND!) is that you watch it full screen in HD with the volume jacked way up.

Enjoy!

Excellent work!

This video is awesome!

I personally love the clown, even though I'm not really a clown person.

[sbessiso]

who was I next to during "Horse Power"?? We got really excited and scooped up a ton of glow off the ground to throw when the beat drop. Was it you Travis? Maybe Kylie???

[Gribbz]

Clowns are creepy, but I'm so glad they brought the gentleman back. Apparently a bunch of people with coulrophobia complained and they removed a good chunk of the footage.

He only made a brief cameo in Oakland.

[Geno_g]

Just get yourself HIGH...

[Mr. Dylanja]

I can't contain myself, I have to do the drumroll on "Horse Power."












every.single.time.

I think it was me! I know I turned to you so thrilled when they mixed it in.

[BROKENDOLL]

Maybe on the bright side of them losing 40 minutes of their set, Coachella will feel like they owe it to them. Bringing them back sooner than expected possibly

For what would be the 6th or 7th time now?

No.

Brandon, I'm detecting a post Coachella behavior in you that I've never noticed before. It's like a large dash of sarcasm and a few grains of asshole...Why so pissy? Pissy, pissy, pissy...

[BROKENDOLL]

Listening to this set again makes me really appreciate how talented they are. Sure, I wish the set was longer. Etc. But, I LOVE what they did to Swoon and that transition into Star Guitar. Highlight of a fantastic set. It's really intense listening to this thinking about how much fucking fun I had with all my friends. I was an asshole and rode someone's shoulders for a nice chunk of Swoon. Shit got weird. Danced so dirty. Loves it.

Ah-ha! It's all coming back to me now...We had a hard time leaving Sasha but knew we needed to get to the main stage and start prepping our glowsticks. You guys got a head start, so by the time we got to the main, we could already see a hint of glow and had no problem locating the group. I wanted to say hello when I spotted you, but you were busy choreographing and going over timelines for the precise moment for the eruption with Feather. I must say thank you, because the biggest part of that show for me was standing amongst all the people that otherwise only know each other on the message board, glowsticks ready, and as soon as the set started, you would have thought that section had been friends forever, dancing like a tribe of party animals and enhancing the show with the glow, as the Brothers done worked that shit out.

i agree the chems body of work when it comes to releases is second to none. the range and depth of their discography almost makes daft's seem laughable quite frankly. and UW's artistic merit is probably head and shoulders over both of them. but still, all those DP tracks hold a special place in my heart.

and no matter what anyone ever does the ALIVE show will never be topped. it was a life-altering and paradigm-shifting moment for me staring at the dozens of faces flashing during human after all. i really think that concert changed me for the better as a person. as magical as underworld and the chems live are i don't think there's the same intention to go beyond the music and elevate the live experience to the spiritual and otherworldly adventure that daft created. everyone who stared into that pyramid for an hour knows what i'm talking about, and when it really comes down to it, everyone who saw it the first time around on some level never wants them to tour again. it probably cannot be recreated.

sorry for going off, i really could have just said i agree with you haha.

i would like for some people to throw out some more names into the mix though to compete with my holy trinity...

this is awesome! so. much. GLOW!

[magmazing]

Don't want to be a downer, but that's a lot of plastic and chemicals that eventually went to a landfill :P

[gooftroop]

Glad everyone (well most everyone) is liking the video, I'll get to the next part in the next couple of days. With any luck there will be enough footage so I can do basically the whole show.

A drop of water in the ocean, but I know where you're coming from.

I think I almost started to cry when I read this.

Tears of joy.

The Crystal Method just destroy live as well. Just saying. They are so good they gave my friend his first full on epileptic seizure during the show at the Avalon. Destroyed the Sahara tent as well!

[like it was 1989]

sorry if this has been posted already


The Chemical Brothers Live @ Coachella 2011


still really upset about missing this... might have to make the trek to Europe this summer to make up for it.
