Airborne Lemming's video: Editors - One Night in Amsterdam - Ziggo Dome 27th March 2018 Fan A Recording

5 years removed from their last appearance at the large, echoing shed that is the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam, here's a covert audience capture of Editors March 2018 show. It was recorded and shared by a fellow Editors-loving individual who we're calling "Fan A" for the purpose of identity protection, and many thanks to him for getting in touch with this. I remember after hearing this that I was impressed with how the band were still making alterations to some of their compositions on the fly. I liked the blends between songs, something they'd already been doing to bridge the gap between Papillon and Marching Orders. This time around they used it to mark a juxtaposition of Violence bleeding into No Harm. I don't know if that was intentional, but I like that idea of opposing ideas intertwining. Also, No Harm seemed to have developed substantial muscle mass in terms of its power from the new delivery. It keeps moving further away from the studio take with each successive tour, and it's starting to feel almost operatic in places. One thing I also wanted to say about AEHAS is that even though it's a song I know they're a little tired of playing, the way it sounded tonight with all the extra synths felt like it had been given a new lease of life. The Elliott Effect is still around. I was initially confused by the use of the outro to Hallelujah (So Low) as their walkout music, but the way it acts as a part of the song before the song is even played, and before they've even physically made it to the stage, works really well. It has this excellent anticipatory quality to it that, and the more I hear I find myself thinking "Gig's about to start!", rather than visualising the end of Rahi's promo video for Hallelujah featuring the band looking soggy and moody under a shower of water.
