Loads of problems for Rick this evening. Probably had to shorten down the setlist. Just 70 minutes

Hard to see what's going on behind the desk from the crowd, but what sort of problems? drop outs? things not firing up right?

Samples dropping in the middle of other songs was what I noted the most. Happened twice iirc.

didn't play rez itself, straight to cowgirl with the usual rez ending. started out on the same loop that went on for seemingly too long while rick kept going between laptop and console.
rowla accidentally came in during cowgirl briefly, cowgirl came in during the end of nuxx and led to a very small pause before nuxx continued.

Also, Listen to their no ended abruptly. Rick was shaking his head in frustration. It was a great night, though, just a bit short

75 mins was the contacted set time at the request of the festival

That was strange. I wonder if it was an equipment error or if Rick made a mistake. I happened to catch the snafu here
. Idk if Rez/Cowgirl was shortened due to errors. At least Karl wasn't aware of it. He came back on stage being all "ohh you little joker!" towards Rick.

Not that it really mattered to the set in the long run. The Danish festival critics over here are calling it one of the best shows at the festival, handing out 5's and 6's. I myself thought it was miles better than what they presented at the Mad Cool Festival last year.

I thought the set seemed a bit short, but in hindsight it wasn't necessarily a bad thing. They kept the tempo up all the way through, and given the slot time they had - 11.30 pm on day 3 of the festival (7 if you count the warmup period) - people were at a point where they just wanted to dance and party. And Rick & Karl let them do just that, throwing out banger after banger and finishing up with the one anthem to rule them all, however cheesy it may be.

I should add, Karl threw in a "It’s been a long time since we danced together. Do you wanna dance with me?" before Nuxx kicked off. Everyone around me took him up on that offer.

Everyone always does.


Thanks for the info on the slipups. Good to know our heroes are human.
