I keep seeing comments about how Hot Chip is never good live. And I don't get it, I'm mesmerized just by listening to these videos at home on my phone 😀
I've bought a couple of their albums & found that listening to them live like here, the studio recordings just don't have as much going on. They really are a rare case of being a fantastic live band. Even with Kraftwerk they sounded better from the studio than live especially during the seventies & early 80's. The same with New Order crap & tinny live but sounded better on the record.
Always a pleasure and an composition-insight experience, listening to Hot Chip live. But Hungry Child confirms my initial impressions about the album. And, to the youngs: always beware, when a release gets a general praise from the press...
