BBC Coverage 2023

[Andy0808 v5]

Can’t work out if I turned my TV down too much because mrs has gone to bed, or Alex sounds very quiet.

Sound was shite at the Emirates last Friday too. 
 

All these bloody kids with tickets, whilst I’m stuck at home. Someone needs to tell them the worlds not all sunshine and lollipops 😭

[airwaves]

I'm going with staying after Sparks for Fever Ray 

Don't think they'll be many of us

Straight up BBC1 mate.

He sounds fine to me. Maybe at 95%?

Yeah, he sounded fine on Brianstorm.

Alex’s determination to stick with slowing down their songs and trying to croon just ruins their live shows. Just sing them properly mate.

Ah damn missed the start, but thank you!

They're just not that good of a live band, are they?

[Cuban Pete]

Massive AM fan (so not just hating) but his voice sounds doesn’t sound 100% at all. Can tell with some of the notes he’s not comfortable.

[OG]

Sounds like he's struggling on Snap out of it

[al_coholic]

And this is why I really can't warm to AM. There is no energy and Alex loves himself so much he would probably suck his own if he could. 

Changing to Hot Chip before I throw something at the TV. Can't believe they got to headline again

[Monty Pythagoras]

He’s not struggling through his health issues this week. This is how he sings his songs now seen as he’s not seventeen anymore.

Just enjoy the show and enjoy one of the best British bands of the last 20 years at their most creative and innovative period.

Dunno - seen them 6 times - 3 times they were brilliant, 3 times a bit ropey. Just think they're a bit inconsistent.

[Meerkat]

Did they really start with Sculptures of Anything Goes?

Missed the start so going off setlist.fm

Yeah. I thought it landed quite well tbh.

[One Tonne Baby]

I think it’s good so far. Wish I was there 

[rob.a]

Hot Chip have gone early with some bangers!

Yeah I like the song! Didn’t expect them to start with it!

[Nicklord]

The audio mix is terrible for AM. The worst so far of everything I heard today and I listened the whole day as a radio

This evening would have been the clash from hell for me. AM vs Hot Chip vs Fever Ray. Absolutely love all of them and my favourite acts on the bill. 

Would have missed two of them if I had gone so missing three doesn't feel as big a deal 😂

[Kempleton]

Ok. Crying Lightning was amazing. I might give them another 10 minutes 

[prestonmike]

Struggling a bit to get into this Arctic Monkeys set, when i was there in 2013 i left half way through to watch Portishead, i'd suspect if i was there now i'd be heading over to watch Hot Chip

[ogriff]

Paired my Bluetooth speaker to the telly to get better sound for AM. Realised that Alex's affected accent is worse loud

 

Moved over to WizKid, but it's BBK empty

When your DJ says "Move closer to the stage,  we're ready to party" it's not looking good 😞

I mean, that 2013 decision was one of the best of your life, no?

[Spindles]

Steve Harrington has really let himself go.

[al_coholic]

Hot Chip are on fire.
