11th december 2002, Maxwells - Hoboken - USA
ok, so i too was at the show last night in hoboken. first of all the
place was just too cool. so small, i swear i've never seen a signed
band play such a small place.....we are lucky bastids for that! i
was there pretty early (well 8) and their was about 10 people in the
whole place. me and my two friends sat right in front of the stage
(in front of where dave was.)
the opening band wasn't bad. they were called ambulance. nothing
like the pimps, but not bad nonetheless. they were much better than
a lot of the shite on the radio, but not really my kind of music.
so i had so much fun. i was next to this girl who had two nice
cameras. she was taking pictures all night...at one point she was
layin on her stomach on the stage between chris and dave taking
pictures of joe and chris and chris actually leaned down and
pretended to lick the camera. they were such cool guys, definitely
the happiest i've seen them be to play.
they sounded perfectly on point. every song. they kicked ass, so
much kicking ass! so i didn't get the setlist but i was in front of
it all night and i think i remember most of it (well not in order)...
After Every Party I Die
Sick
Kiro TV
The Fuel
Sorry, It Was Me
Low Five
Grazes
Lightning Field
Bloodsport
Spin Spin Sugar
Loretta Young Silks
(encore)
Half Life
Superbug
6 UndergroundAt one point during the encore everyone was screaming requests, and
Chris was polling the crowd. He said "I love requests...do you want
something fast or slow?" So alot of people were screaming for Low
Five and he was like "ok, well do it." After that they played
Superbug, which was so heavy with sound and just awesome! After that
me and the girl next to me were yelling "Splinter!!!!" And Chris
looked at us both and said "I am SOOOOOO tempted to play that one."
But they played 6 Underground (which was awesome nonetheless.) And
then they started walking off the stage and they had to walk right
past me to get out. So Chris walked past me and I just kind of
patted him on the back telling him how great the show was and he
looked at me and smiled. What an awesome night! (Jeez I must sound
like a total crazy stalker obsessed with the band - I'm really not, I
was just way excited and I loved every minute of it.) I met two
really cool girls there too, one of which I already explained was
taking pictures (which she said she will email to me as soon as she
can.)
Well, all I can say is that it was definitely better than the show I
saw in Philly this summer, and by the sounds of the new songs, the
next album is going to be mindblowing.Hope everyone that was there had as great a time as I.
Case
p.s. - what is this project Chris talked to you about after the 9:30
show in DC that everyone in this room already knows about? i am a
new member and i must have missed it. is it a line of flight cd? if
it is, what does anyone know about it?
k later guys.
It all began on sunny Saturday afternoon when me and my two friends entered the festival area. Since the fest was in a full swing there were too many kind of devastated humans but nevermind that. We made our way to the first row on the main stage. It was only 7 PM and the Pimps were due on stage at midnight. I thought to myself “What the bloody hell am I gonna do?” There was 1 hour gap before the gig and everybody left except us three girls. I wasn’t that much surprised because there aren’t so many people who know Sn. pimps (that’s what I thought) and I’m not even talking about fans.
At 00.03 AM all the Pimps came out on stage except Liam, because he stayed at home with his wife and new born baby girl as Chris told us later. The gig started with Kiro TV and I couldn’t believe that those wonderful guys are right in front of me. All three wore suits (but only Chris didn’t have any shirt underneath), he had only kind of a red collar around his neck and of course a bottle of red wine that he later spilt a little bit over him. During the gig he was kind of breakdancing, pulling special faces (smiles) on to the ones he recognized in the crowd. When I turned back just to see how is the crowd I was happy cos there was a huge crowd of happy people singing all together with Chris (to my surprise). I must say that this gig was a highlight of this summer. Even Chris made me cry when before Loretta he said: “This one is for those of you who feel lonely tonight and God knows I do.”
These are the song, but I really can’t remember in which order:
Kiro TV, Sick, Small town witch, Loretta Young silks, The fuel, Bloodsport, Low Five, 6 Underground, Spin, spin sugar.
I think they were amazing We met them afterwards and must admit they are really friendly, nice persons and Chris is the walking Charisma by himself.
Thank you guys, just keep on doing this wonderful music.
Lubica.
"i am here! i got here!"
thats what i thought after travelling a lot to see sneaker pimps live.
before arriving to Pordenone i visited some friends on
the way, and now pimps are going to play in less
than 1 hour!! what could i ask more ???
it's 9 o'clock, chris, liam, dave, joe are coming on the stage.
music starts spreading, lights break out pouring on them!
i was scared that the italian audience wouldnt have liked them, but i was
completely wrong, they loved them, i am sure! (except for a
12-years girl behind me that kept shouting brian-brian (molko) all the time ;)while they were playing, lots of people was asking "what's their name?
who are they ???" so i think they were quite interested in them!
chris was singing, whispering, shaking on the show, dancing
in the lights, and drinking red wine eheh!! liam was always smiling,
dave and joe staring at the audience satisfied.here is the tracklist..

hello everyone
just to tell you about the gig in Paris last night
the set-list was the sameKiro TV
Sick
The Fuel
Miami counting
6 underground
small town witch
Loretta young silks
Spin spin sugarchris was quite talkative and it was a pleasure to see the band !!!
the audience was quite polite no 'placebo' scream and applaused the pimps
the venue was sold-out for months (6000 people)
they seem to know 6underground and spin spin sugar and appreciate loretta by claping their hand on the beginning of the song...great gig but no songs from splinter and it's a pity cos I'm sure that if they had played low five or ten to twenty the audience had been louder...
anyway the gig of placebo was great too and brian thanks 'the sssneaker pimpsss' as he said
chris talked between the songs and they were so nice...
there were a group of about 50 people who were really into songs just in front of chris, and chris often smiled to them or give them a little signThey're on again tonight... same place but without me :((
I'll tell you more if you want...
1st November 2000, Los Angeles
by Nene4577I just got back from the LA show too!! (1 nov 2000) Was AMAZING and i think Liam is the cutest of the Sneaker Pimps. I got to talk to him the longest, though ALL four of the guys are super nice. I took a LOT of pics (3 rolls...so about 75 pics, plus another 10 on a digital camera)!!! Unfortunately, the security guard caught my tape recorder and almost wouldn't let me in the show....so no tape for me to relive the experience. I also grabbed a set list...close your eyes if you don't want to know:Kiro TV

Low 5

Think Harder
Spin Spin Sugar
Walking Zero
Wife by 2000The set list says Flowers and Silence right after 6U, but they didn't play that. And I can't really tell if they played 2 songs before Low 5, so there might be a missing song there. The last 2 songs were with an acoustic guitar....VERY different version of Walking Zero. Wife by 2000 wasn't on the original set list. Chris only sung it because some drunk girl kept yelling for it. Chris finally had to say "OK, I'll get a fucking guitar and play it and the end, just for you". It was soooo funny because he told the crowd that he didn't remember the words. It took him a while, but he winged it...then sort of lost it, and then recovered at the chorus. It was most wonderful!! I can't wait for them to come back.
