If this hadn't taken place in an atmosphere vacuum like Ally Pally, this could very well have been the gig of the year. Hot Chip's 70-minute support slot was the perfect warm-up for an absolute blinder of a set – “All My Friends” was phenomenal, “Daft Punk Are Playing In My House” sounded more raw and vital than ever, and as for "Dance Yrself Clean"...well, it's safe to say that it's a contender for the best opener I've heard in over 600 gigs. Let's hope James Murphy reconsiders his decision to end LCDSS after this tour, because on the evidence here, it's clear they're currently at the top of their game.
