while i see your point about it being easier to program with abelton than mmt 8 s it's still a simplistic view of what thier up to on stage you may have noticed they dont really stop during the set probably using one abelton project with many songs in it , and while it would be easy if they were doing a 'lap top ' only set with no out board gear they actually have loads of analog synths up there not forgeting the lemurs acting as the mmt8 buttons , as an electronic musition myself i find it mind bogolling to think of all thoes control numbers and things needed to flow between lemurs to computer to an aray of synths , some of whch dont have any memorys!
sure if it were one abelton project, one lemur surface they could in theory choose to mix it up but you'd have no seamles playing , bit of a trade off...
and too late you do sound like a snob why should glastonbury get any more special treatment than say wisemans ferry?
seriously though i do know its a special gig for orbital having played there a lot so i'm sure they will not take it litely .
but you really should see the big picture, why dont bands change thier sets around all the time ? surely you would think guitar bands could do it? or electronic bands that just juggle a few stems?
well its to do with a bitmore than just what 'can be done tecnically' there is rehursal time to think about no one plays with out rehursal. light shows to plan and program, and in the case of orbital video shows to plan around all this, i think the diference between shows comes from contiually playing the 'same' set in a diferent and dveloping way over time , doesn't adding 2 new tracks to the set constitute a non rigid set anyway!?! not forgetting the tweeked ending to satan that they did at the I.O.W?
to be fair if i was going to see a band 3 time in a year id probably want them to change the set a bit but reallity is that doesn't really happen, doesnt happen with comedians either and all their doing is standing on stage talking ! you'd think they'd mix it up abit , but you'd be amazed how many times ive heard people complain that thier favourite comedian did the same set during the same year.
and another thing ( sorry im still in a bad mood , although strangly in begining to feel better! ) whats with all the 'probably be their last headline slot for Eavis' why do you say that? jesus! talk about putting the coffin nails in 
and with them about to write a super new album.
gaud bless you for likeing tention though i couldnt agree more would be a great one to play and are we here, still all in good time eh?
as memly said we all go and see orbital a bit too much for our own good maybe we could all meet up at the front of stevie wonder after all, on balance perhaps not for me , think i'll be right up there with my own headlights on!

with all dew respect i dont think its a breeze exactly, certainly easier , but bear in mind all their old stuff is on mmt 8s or atari so you have the problem of coverting it all up to abelton!!! so i dont think the power to change this is theirs yet! but i guess as the songs are converted/played in the future this may become easier...and new tracks would certainly be easier , hang on , maybe thats why thier playing their new stuffJIMBO wrote:I'm willing to bet that it's a breeze compared to the MMT8 days - just look how quickly P&P sketched out new bits and bobs for songs inbetween gigs on the winter tour. THIS is what frustrates me about them sticking to a rigid set list - they now have the power to change this! And without wanting to sound like a snob I'd like to think that the Glasto gigs should be very special and 'different' to any other festival set they play.
