Low Cost Festival 2014 Spanish Radio Broadcast

Alrighty then. Bad news first? This is an incomplete recording. A Ton of Love cuts out towards the end as the allotted broadcast slot of exactly, precisely one hour is completed. You'll even hear the beeps that radio stations play to signify a new hour is about to start, a sound that's usually followed by a news summary or something.  This means that the long, festival-friendly version of Papillon that rounded off the set is missing. Additionally, it also suffers from a problem that will be familiar to you if you listen to the radio on a regular basis; the DJ talks far too much and often over the top of the music.They even talk over the ending of Nothing, which is unforgiveable.

Still with me?

The good news is that the sound is excellent for a streaming broadcast which means that what we have is still worth your time. The only changes I made were to remove the long bit of DJ chatter that went on before the broadcast actually started, and to fade in as the creepy string intro to Sugar starts up.

If you'd forgotten the power of A Life as a Ghost, the way it's played here will bring it all back again. This was from a time when the setlist also contained Honesty, which I view as a truly underrated Editors song. It always felt very anthemic and seemed to bring out the best in the band when they played it, but it's existence as a regular in the running order has diminished over the years. Also, Nothing here is the full version that had the extended intro and dual drumming from Ed and a shadowy member of Team Editors' backstage crew. Enjoy the music ;)
