Chemicalbrothers
enjoyed seeing the chemical brothers last night in brixton. at points the bass was so heavy that you literally could feel your trousers wobbling! one of the things i love at gigs like this is to see how the visual side is developing. the lights and set were amazing. the screen was huge and looked like a gauze that was being projected onto but actually it was a huge see through computer type screen rather than projection – i don’t even know what the technical term is, but it meant the visuals were crystal clear but lighting was projected through it from behind. it’s hard to describe but was very impressive… on the way back from oxford earlier in the evening there was a huge accident that we got caught in the tailback from so i wondered if i was even going to make it but we eventually crept through and got there in time (turns out we were lucky as i heard from a colleague today who took 6 hours to get from oxford to london!). the old classics were still the best tunes – out of control, block rocking beats, though star guitar was probably my favourite… always feels good to get out on a thursday night and extend the weekend!

    the most common way for full-cyclorama projection video at gigs is now soft led curtains, but if you’re sure it was backlit it was probably just a sharkstooth scrim (or one of its proprietary relatives (a gauze, as you say).
