albeit cut short in Scheherazade. (venue person[???] went up to Noah during the song and tells him to cut it just as he drops the piano, never seen Noah so pissed tbh)

that's really weird... was he running overtime or something?

I swear that was after alsatian darn and he blended scheherazade straight into surfers hymn.

Tropic of Cancer, Acid Wash and Alsatian Darn were all stunning. I also liked the bass on Tropic, it added a lot of weight to it.

damn that is some great news. really hope acid wash makes it into the (presumably shortened) pitchfork fest set. assuming alastair won't, but maybe.

ok I'm still confused about the drum break thing. besides crosswords there don't seem to be any clear examples?

Noah talks about the hiphop feel of PBVSGR, i think its more about how he has constructed the album with a simple loop locking in the track, then with varied amounts of atmosphere and vox working with it.

I think roopn is referring to how certain songs the drums drop out at certain points in live versions, but on the studio the drums are playing through the whole song.

He also does it on Come to Your Senses, Ms Pacman/Faces in the Crowd, and Jabberwocky (but PeteK says the studio version will leave the "drop" intact). Maybe others too...I can't remember

No I'm talking about breaks, not drops. Every four bars in crosswords the drums do a little different phrase, which is a break. Noah says the album uses lots of breaks but that's the only one I hear.

Ennives I see what you mean about the hip hop feel

he probably made a bunch of the beats from breaks. the most famous break is the amen. That technique is what he is referring to with using breaks. take a drum break, loop it up and you have a fresh beat.

I did !

He played the same set as in London :
Boys Latin / Jabawocky / Crosswords / This Side of Paradise / Faces in the Crowd / Sequential Circuits / Come to Your Senses / Tropic of Cancer / Selfish Gene / Acid Wash
Encore: Alsatian Darn / Scheherazade / Surfers Hymn

Blown away by his vocal performance !
Great transition from Come to your senses into Tropic of Cancer : "Are you maaaaaaaaad ?" on the Nutcracker sample.
Terrific rough power style on the closer Surfers Hymn. All around excellent...

Gonna see Panda tonight !! Cheeers

YES! I love the R U MAD? transition so much! So sad it didn't make the album cut but it makes sense with the pace of the tracklist.

Oh my god Eric is doing the visuals on this go around? I want to see that so bad now. Wow. I got to talk to Eric once about visuals after him and the Da Dice did visuals for AC at Coachella. He's a awesome guy and I bet the show looks insane. Hey Noah, please bring Eric with you to Pitchfork.

Anyone record anything? How is Jabba?

Post **Posted:** Fri Mar 06, 2015 8:47 pm

Just tuned in to the stream. Audio quality sounds pretty good from what I can tell

Post **Posted:** Fri Mar 06, 2015 8:52 pm

Ok these transitions are amazing....lots of freaky psychedelic sounds, even more than usual it feels like. Did PB expand his sound-arsenal for this leg of the tour?? Or maybe those noises are just louder in the mix than normal

EDIT: OH SHIT he dropped the drums out for a bar at the beginning of the 2nd verse of Crosswords, that was FIRE

Post **Posted:** Fri Mar 06, 2015 8:56 pm

Damn, at work right now. Post the setlist if you can! (If it's any different)

Post **Posted:** Fri Mar 06, 2015 8:57 pm

All stuff he's played before so far. I've heard:

Boys Latin
BBCM
Crosswords
TSoP (current song)

Post **Posted:** Fri Mar 06, 2015 8:58 pm

The visualsss....~intense~ *o*

Post **Posted:** Fri Mar 06, 2015 9:07 pm

Somehow forgot how good Ms Pacman is.

Post **Posted:** Fri Mar 06, 2015 9:11 pm

You can hear those sweet, sweet vacuum noises so clearly

Post **Posted:** Fri Mar 06, 2015 9:25 pm

Holy shit, amazing vox!!

Can't believe this stream, just woke up to it

Post **Posted:** Fri Mar 06, 2015 9:32 pm

Yeah he really belted it in Tropic. That was on point

Here comes Acid Wash methinks

Post **Posted:** Fri Mar 06, 2015 9:36 pm

The live video is on point to0... kudos to the switcher

Post **Posted:** Fri Mar 06, 2015 9:39 pm

Post **Posted:** Fri Mar 06, 2015 9:42 pm

Sup player

-love Mac D(emarco)?

Post **Posted:** Fri Mar 06, 2015 9:44 pm

Please tell me this will be up for a while, or that you're ripping it Victor.....

Post **Posted:** Fri Mar 06, 2015 9:51 pm

I'm not ripping it unfortunately (I'm watching at work

) hoping it's available to rewatch afterwards or something. I'm sure they'll save it somehow, it's too good quality not to

The visuals have totally gone NUTS during the encore! Eric Copeland is a madman

Post **Posted:** Fri Mar 06, 2015 9:55 pm

Mind-slaying vocal performance

Post **Posted:** Fri Mar 06, 2015 9:56 pm

holy fuck..! Full on pirate voice during Surfer's Hymn!
That was amazing!

Post **Posted:** Fri Mar 06, 2015 9:59 pm

One of the best live Surfer's Hymns I've heard

Did anyone notice that he came in on the wrong beat on the second "Out on the water"? Didn't matter cause he got right back on and kilt the ending

Post **Posted:** Fri Mar 06, 2015 10:51 pm

Stoked for this set.

Was really hoping to see a Jabbawaqy tho

Post **Posted:** Fri Mar 06, 2015 10:58 pm

Thanx internets gods

Is there any chance someone would be able to rip the video stream of the Gaîté Lyrique show?

Post **Posted:** Sat Mar 07, 2015 7:00 am

did some digging and found the direct link to the video stream (as in an MP4) but not sure if it's kosher to post, probably not

the mix on this is SUPER, i wish we had the audio in higher quality

Post **Posted:** Sat Mar 07, 2015 8:59 am

that arte stream is so great. nice to see that he changed the setlist a little, especially with TSOP back in there. it would be so cool if he would also bring back popadam or the original faces in the crowd. boys latin is a weird opener though.

Post **Posted:** Sat Mar 07, 2015 9:11 am

gotta get people paying attention with the big single i guess?

Post **Posted:** Sat Mar 07, 2015 2:10 pm

I noticed Noah went back to a SM58 after using a SM7 for a while. Wonder why
