It's boring as fuck lads, be honest here. It's not 2am in Ronnie Scott's here, put a bit of fucking oomph into it Alex. Matt's doing his best but by god it's low energy stuff.

Even the upbeat songs are without energy. Get they need to evolve but a bit of fucking enthusiasm from the front man goes a long way

[Bcnsean]

Lead singer seems to be going full Mike Patton. Guess that's not his normal style?

Has been for a few years now

He’s certainly not phoning it in

[Schmarn]

Has anyone seen them at a stadium show this summer ?

Saw them at the Emirates. Thought they were great but then I’m 50 this year and I don’t need every song to be a banger. Quite like the slower reflective tracks but I know others disagree.

I would also add that he’s clearly not over his laryngitis tonight. Performance is slightly subdued.

[ABZ Rover]

I normally love the Foo Fighters but thought the sound was sht for them earlier.

Aye, sound wasn’t the best and that’s from the telly but I think the emotion of it carried it.  Great to see them back as I thought they might be no more after loosing Taylor.

[Ray K]

Watching on a bit of delay. Liking most of it (pretty tight band and Helders is a bit of a beast). I know they can’t just sing songs about going out when you’re about 18 anymore, but that was a great day-boo.

Superb band, superb performance.

[Musketeer Gripweed]

Anyway, what time do the polarising opinions on GnR kick off tomorrow?

Scared to watch that. Going to see them on Tuesday. I think it's going to be shite. Only bought the tickets in 2019 though.

Enjoying Crying Lightning and Cornerstone in the new stylee.

Bodypaint's a class song

So good.

He defo hit the coke for a few years.

It’s superb.

[Nick110581]

This is amazing.

[alonsoisared]

Big finish to come, here

[Schmarn]

I Wanna be Yours is such a great song.

[Ray K]

I've reported every one of you who said this is good to the mods. Wrong'uns, the lot of youse.

[SouthDerryLaggo]

Shocking set. Can't even be fucked watching until he inevitably plays a song everyone knows to finish. I loved this band but saw them live about 7/8 years ago and he phoned it in then too.

I don't particularly like the new style they have to be honest and I wish they could still sing the old bangers in the old style but I get why they don't. I've seen this as a bit hit and miss but 505, body paint and wanna be yours have all really hit for me. All top tunes

Must have missed 505.

[SouthDerryLaggo]

Must have missed 505.

it was barely recognisable

Fuck me, they're dreadful. I was never much of a fan but recall them at least having some energy.

Reckon 80 year old Macca was more hyped than these lads when he did last years headliner.

[Musketeer Gripweed]

Did he not have laryngitis earlier in the week? Seems a bit harsh on the boy.

He's been like this for a few years mate. Started when he adopted that ridiculous accent to be honest

[iamnant]

I missed the first half of the set and was pretty gutted.

Now I'm gutted I've had to listen to the second half. This is truly fucking awful. Can't remember a worst headliner.

[stewy17]

You’re talking shite if you think the arctic monkeys are dreadful.

Everyone there will have had a great time.

All the best.

If I was from Dundee I would change my accent as well to be honest. The high heels are ridiculous though.

[Elmo!]

I've never listened to any of their albums - the singles have never done it for me to make we want to - and I've only caught the last few songs tonight but it's done absolutely nothing to make me want to go back and listen to them, and whilst I know it's unfair to judge someone on such a short viewing, the guy just oozes twattishness (is that a word?).

[SouthDerryLaggo]

the crowd was silent until the one or two songs everyone knew came on.

[Pistolero]

Very enjoyable day hopping around the BBC coverage....Gabriels.. Cvrches, Foo Fighters and Hot Chip all splendid...but hats off to Sparks...set of the day and no mistake 👍

[Bcnsean]

Dundee?

[ABZ Rover]

I’ve already pointed out I’m not a fan but thought I would watch as a headline act.

Conclusion was they are pretty meh and the crowd reaction would seem to back that up.  Sorry just don’t get the hype for these.

[Ciara (with a capital "C")]

Thought I knew more AM songs than I actually knew through that set..!

I’m sure fans of theirs enjoyed it but found it a bit dull.

[Fordy]

I went to see them last week and they were like tonight. Set was poor; lacked energy.

It was a poor headline act. Doesn’t mean they are shit, they just don’t cut the mustard now.!

[BobPaisley3]

Looking forward to Elton, he should have been Saturday.

[JerseyKloppite]

Thought it was a perfectly good set by them, they're a good band with a great collection of songs. I do prefer their earlier stuff but their debut came out when I was 18 so was all "formative years" stuff and most of the music I hold a nostalgic candle to is from that era. Totally understand why they've gone in a different direction and some of their newer material (Bodypaint in particular) is brilliant.

It wasn't a performance that will go down in history - nothing remarkable or innovative. But he's recovering from laryngitis so probably deserves a fair bit of credit/leeway.

[Ray K]

Hot Chip always put on a show. I like the singer - he might look and dress like Timmy Mallett, but he doesn't let that hold him back. A lesson for Mr Turner there.

Hope this set gets uploaded to iPlayer. Love Hot Chip.
