Chemical Brothers, Live?

Anyone ever see them live? a dj set?

I have gone to a live show by them once, but never a DJ set. I will be going tonight though.

there are two DJ mix albums:

and ________ (I will fill this in when I get home and find it, since it appears to be out of print)

although I have never been to a DJ gig by the Chems, 'live' they are fantastic.

Beat ya to it! The second mix CD is Live at the Social Vol. One. I picked it up used a few years ago and it's great. Never seen them live, though. Had the opportunity a few years ago at CMJ, but the wait to get in was super long.

okay, I am half asleep at work right now.. Last night was okay. Others were enjoying the music more than I was, but it was pretty good. They are definately waaaaaaaaaaay better when they do a live set. I honestly think the crowd was more up because it was the Chemical brothers, but to me, they sounded slightly better than typical rave djs.

where did they DJ? if you don't mind me asking.

The Mezzanine, in San Francisco

I'm going tonight, hope I like it better than you did.

I believe on the just released DVD edition of "Singles" there are 'live' versions of a couple of their songs.

I thought it was great. I heard some people who had seen them live that were disappointed, though. My only problem was that there were about 1500 people in a small club, and about 90% of them were guys.l
