Up next is a German radio broadcast containing the majority, but not all, of Editors' set at Centralstation, Darmstadt on the 21st March 2008. The gig was visited by those pesky sound gremlins that occasionally show up, and this is unfortunately evident during the performance of Lullaby where Chris' guitar sounds as though it's ready for the list rites. The problems still aren't quite fixed by the end of the song and so Tom begins All Sparks on his own, before the band seamlessly kick back in after the first chorus.Professional musicians in the area, y'all.
The moments where it all clicks and things run smoothly are brilliant, particularly the versions of Spiders and The Weight of the World which sound crystal-clear and very big. A pity we didn't get the full show, because it's always nice to hear Camera and there was an acoustic version of PYHTTA. Sadly, the time restrictions on this radio broadcast means that stuff got missed, and the DJ enjoyed talking over the top of some of the songs just a little bit more than necessary. I've removed most of the chat (which is why some songs fade in/out) and also included the full version of Smokers from a separate source. Enjoy the music ;)
