The Golden Apples of the Sun

Broadcast Live

El Rey Theatre – Los Angeles – 2000 

From sleeve notes at dublab:

“Broadcast played live at the El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles opening for Godspeed You Black Emperor, the band absolutely shattered our minds. The room was filled with the dublab DJs who had recently become devotees of the band; this show sealed the deal and made us fall in love with them forever. That night, the now dearly departed vocalist Trish Keenan kindly allowed us to record their set directly from the soundboard. Though the show was amazing, for some reason we never streamed or archived it, but following her untimely passing, we pulled the CD from our dusty stacks and remastered the recording. We hope you enjoy this great set.”

All Tomorrows Parties – 2001

The 2001 lineup performing at Mat Groening’s legendary All Tomorrow’s Parties festival was curated by Tortoise and saw Broadcast playing amongst bands of the calibre of Boards of Canada, Autechre, Prefuse 73, and The High Llamas etc. Broadcast came back again personally selected by Mat for the 2010 festival held at Butlin’s holiday camp in Minehead, Somerset, UK.

A soundboard-quality recording of the group’s performance was originally aired on BBC Radio One. This 2001 performance featured Broadcast in their first incarnation – as a four piece – showcasing the powerful aesthetic from their The Noise Made By People era. A very important sound recording. The band played on a small stage in the middle of the main hall while the main stage was being set up for the next band.

Check out the mesmerising version of Drums on Fire. This is the only setlist I could find and was on the upload – I need to fill in the blanks.
