32:57 Joy Division´s contribution to music and arts in general, is inestimable.

yes

[@Vincentzw]

Yup, Lost Chord still gives me chills. Wish they kept it and Dracula on the regular setlist

[@dildonius]

They played it at the 2 concerts they played at The O2 in London, England on 10 & 11 August, 2021 and MAYBE their performance at Boardmasters Festival on 14 August, 2021. And I feel like there was at least 1 or 2 shows on the 2022 World Tour that included the song. But the thing is that Leee John is an absolutely *INTEGRAL* part of the song. You can't perform it without him, and he simply isn't going to be able to tag along with Gorillaz all across the world for over 75% of the year just so he can be on-hand to perform one (1) song with them, y'know? That just isn't feasible or practical. But look at it this way: now the song is all the more special, as it's only ever played live on the few, far-between, and very rare occasions when Leee John happens to be in town and available to perform. But god DAMN he _does_ absolutely *CRUSH* it tho, doesn't he? Especially here at the first performance. This one was always my favorite (I watched all 3 shows live lol). Something about his dancing & pose-strikes are just so absolutely precisely on-point, with downright _SURGICAL_ precision with the song's bests...

Waited a couple years for this to hit the you tube. Was a great way for me and some buddies to party during the start of the lockdown.

[@dildonius]

Well I mean, this show didn't happen until COVID lockdowns had been going on for 9 whole months - nearly a whole year (lockdown began on 12 March, 2020[*] and this performance happened & was livestreamed on 12 December, 2020).....😬 ([*]I only remember the exact date because it was my mom's 60th birthday & my dad's 59th birthday)

Yes Damon, unfortunately I do believe we are, "The Last Living Souls," I don't like your music, I adore it! I feel so fortunate I got to see you live twice. Both times in Chicago. The last time was exactly five years ago at this exact time. I was amazed at you and your band. Damon you nailed it at the begging of the show. I think it went something like this: "It's a Saturday night, the moon is full, Its a beautiful night, and it's Chicago! It's fucking beautiful!" YES IT WAS! Peace and love!

No. Literally none of my favorite songs. and then they dont bring in Del for clinteastwood? What a fuckin gip. Gorilliaz best days are behind them. Thats not a bad thing. Havent been good since stylo.

[@SaeurLoser]

This was a promotional show for Song Machine, they played songs from Song Machine. If Sweetie Irie didn't do Clint Eastwood, it would've likely been Phi Life Cypher again like usual - Del has a reputation for never showing up, and the one time he did he almost died falling off the stage.

[@pablova1457]

ok bro👍

[@dildonius]

Bro this is SONG MACHINE Live, not Gorillaz Greatest Hits Live (although many of their greatest hits ARE played here). And idk why you're talking as if they own Del Tha Funkee Homosapian and all they gotta do is snap their fingers and he'll come running. He's notoriously been mostly uninterested in appearing at Gorillaz concerts, and even when he does show it's only if they're performing in the USA and EVEN THEN usually only if they're playing in Los Angeles. This concert happened in London, England. Del ain't flying to London for 1 song. And more importantly, this was a livestreamed virtual concert that took place without a live audience and with only a skeleton crew of socially-distanced technicians. Because in case you forgot....THIS HAPPENED ON 12 DECEMBER, 2020! Aka THE HEIGHT OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC'S LOCKDOWNS AND TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS. Meaning Del literally wouldn't have been able to appear even if he WAS invited and even if he WAS willing to fly from LA to London just to play 1 song he did as a favor to Dan The Automator 20 years earlier. Sounds to me like you're not really a Gorillaz fan, but a fan of 2 or 3 albums they made and you just automatically shit on any new stuff because you only like things if you have nostalgia for them. Enslaved to your past memories of happiness, refusing to create new ones.
