http://www.pendulum.com/ PENDULUM IS BACK Bro just called me live from their set, concluding Ultra Music Festival in Miami
Honestly, I was a bit disappointed by that set. In the Knife Party (which suck) part of the set they kept teasing these awesome Pendulum mixes and then it turns into a live set with no mixing and what should have been a rebirth, was more a nostalgic trip. Swire looked bored the entire time, I was pretty meh about it.
I started watching the livestream after my friend called me, so I didn't get to hear any of the Knife Party set and only heard maybe the last half hour of the Pendulum performance. I thought it was good though. Not stupid amazing, but pretty solid all the same. I didn't get to see much of Rob Swire's face because by the end they were mostly showing the stage (till deadmau5 came on), but he sounded pretty into it. Also pretty sure they've been saying it was gonna be a live set for months now.
Compared to stuff they've done in the past (Brixton) it just wasn't comparable. Seriously, just listen to the entire Brixton set and you realise how it just paled in comparison.
Yeah, I see what you're saying- he definitely sounds more emotionally into it in those videos. Maybe he was just more in his prime back then? Idk. Could also be the whole "Pendulum comeback" thing is just for the money, but I'd prefer not to get cynical lol.
