They are playing covers of some of the source material/samples they used on the album. For example, Pete Seeger, The Cure, Velvet Underground. Also a Bauhaus cover, and very impactful cover of Avicii, levels. I can only imagine the people who missed the point of it though, lol. The warm up was recorded instrumentals of pop songs, which some idiot on the event page complained about, completely not understanding that was all part of the show.

This show was amazing. So many conflicting and at times, uncomfortable feelings the entire night. How art SHOULD make you feel!

I was also so cranked on an edible, lol.

Yeah, I've read a bunch of articles about the covers and stuff they're doing. Cool idea.

LOL at the edible

For their US shows it was pop songs from '98 with vocals, just muffled, like they'd turned the highs and mids waaaaaayyyyyy down. I loved that part, it really added to the disorientation of the whole night. I don't expect artists to start exactly on time, but I wasn't prepared for them to do something like that and start over an hour late, so most of my edible high was spent listening to muffled Britney Spears, Chumbawumba and Cher on a loop. Thank fuck for vape pens!

Sidenote: Someone mentioned that Portishead's Geoff Barrow was responsible for the opening playlist/mix, but I don't know if that's confirmed or not.

Yup! The juxtaposition of the visuals during Frazer's utterly beautiful rendition of 'Where Have All the Flowers Gone?' (check it out here, Stuart) really stuck with me. My wife got pregnant after they were originally supposed to tour around March of this year, and she'd never listened to much MA prior to this. I did my best to prep her for what she was in for, but in hindsight, dragging a pregnant woman who doesn't know much about Massive Attack to a show that the band is calling "a personalized nightmare nostalgic head trip" miiiiiiiiight not've been a good idea - she fucking hated the way it made her feel, lol.

The band took the stage "late," but the show definitely started on time.


I was near tears during the Pete Seeger cover, it was beautiful and horrific.

Also congratulations! See you in the parent thread soon!

Woa, congratulations, my friend! Did you post this on FB and I didn't notice it? Regardless, best wishes!

Thanks y'all! And nah, Lews - I've been trying not to share a lot of personal stuff on social media these days. I really want to keep my kid off of it (even with myself/family/friends sharing pics, etc.) as much as I can help it until they're old enough to make that decision themselves.

Nice, I've been doing the same, for the same reason. If you head on into the parents thread we discussed it a little in there.

My kids have 3 insta pages each. need to prep them for popularity. They manage their own snapchat too.

If the internet won't validate them, no one will!!

Been searching around on the net on what to get for 30$ and lower. I narrowed it down to these three. I'm sure you can get lower by buying a redeem code off ebay.
