Fuckin right!! you got the FOH System to feed too!

Mind you the lighting seems to be a lot of top spec high powered LED stuff, which cuts down consumption. Not to mention physical heat off them. That kinda stuff would probably melt the band if it was conventional lighting :lol:

Looks amazing tho..it's gotta be said. NIA here we come!!!

Woaaa just home about a half hour ago! I'm really really hurting this morning honestly! Fucking punishment haha!!

Set list is working really fucking well! We were around 3 rows from the front all the way up till they went off stage breifly before the encore. At that point we were really fucking dehidrated so quickly shimmied over too the first aid bit for some water. Joined back up at a more modest part of the crowd for the encore!

What a night though honestly! Dizzee was fucking great, his new song bonkers was fantastic live, I heard that when I saw him at the ABC a couple months back. The studio version doesn't really do it justice! After that the DJ just pumped out loads of Noisia till the lads eventually came on stage!

Wow what a fucking stage set up! Fucking loving that shit, the huge rectangular screen is awesome!

Major Highlights for me:
____________________
-Breathe dub
-That awesome poison fill/beat
-The live version of thunder is fantastic
-Warriors dance and No good are in the same ball park, such fantastic dance tracks you know? On both of those tracks I was turning round encouraging people to actually dance? But people were having none of it, lets all just jump!
-Commanche is a great live tune.
-Omen reprise live version is fucking fantastic, leading into the live version of IMD it packs a punch! Loved every minute of it!
-Take me to the hospital on the huge screen! The lads are obviously pushing for this song to become a fan favourite you know! and why not? It's fucking outstanding! Big rectangular screen with the words comming accross sideways in white TAKE, ME, TO and THE all flash up as the words are said then HOSPITAL roles accross from right to left! Brilliant. On the way out every second person would look at my tshirt and start singing along haha!

Then Out of space came on and I was sad it all had to come to and end. Only dissapointment of the night was that no new tunes were in the set (Like death of the prodigy dancers @ cardiff). I can't complain at all though!

In conclusion: Great gig, Great crowd! Shit beer! and I have a bruise the size of a dinner plate on my thigh! Oh and I lost my phone about half way through! Either that or some sneaky weege nicked it!
:twisted:

Bumbed that I won't see them again for god knows how long! But this gig will last in the memory a good while! Hope everyone else enjoys themself on the UK tour as much as I did!

I counted 48 moving heads just on the back wall. Plus a dozen or so peppered around the stage. They generally run at 575 watts each. 60x575=34, 500. Add a couple 1200w followspots, 800w LED wall, and a few other fx and it'll be around 40Kw at full power.

That's just for the lighting. Sound is another matter altogether ;)

well i guess "worlds on fire" is not much of a warning message when there using That much power.

and yeah you can see those lights raise on that omen reprise video, thats like the best part about the concerts right now

just seen this on DJ Semtex's (dizzee rascals dj) blog. couple cool pictures of the stage setup and that.
