Editors - Warm Up Festival 4th May 2024 (Radio 3 Broadcast)

- Disgruntled musings incoming...
It's approaching midnight as I write this. Even though I knew exactly how this evening was going to go, having recorded from Radio 3 before during my 18-year tenure as an Editors devotee, at times it still offered all the appeal of a wasp sting in my throat (ho ho). The build while you wait for the main event is always a little tortuous.
Tonight, my poor ears are angry with me for subjecting them to some sounds that they really weren't that keen on hear prior to Editors. I never realised just how crappy live vocals fed through autotune are. It creates a machine-powered barrier between you and the crowd, removing the human qualities by levelling and flattening out every tone. You might not be note-perfect live, but if you're passionate about delivering your music the audience will not care. Embrace your bum-notes! Still, I did manage make it through the noise to capture the band we're all here to experience, so ultimately it was worth it. But...
The airtime given to the festival ran out at midnight, and while Editors were bringing it all home, and so Munich is abruptly cut off and I suspect they finished on Papillon which is also missing.
With that, the complaints department here at The Archive is now closed. Temporarily.
What we have on offer here is a professionally recorded set by Editors at the sold-out Warm Up festival in Spain, 4th May 2024. To my knowledge, it's still a 5-piece version of Editors playing because Ben continues to be absent, which is becoming a little odd. There's been no official acknowledgement of his departure from the group, but no explanation as to where he's at if he's still an Editor. He's just not around. This isn't about a desire to initiate gossip or dig for scandal, just concern that everything is alright. I hope that it is.
If the Djs covering this broadcast were a song, it would be You Talk Way Too Much by The Strokes. Given that, I do understand the need to prevent illicit recording, and in reality bootleggers are notoriously distasteful people. They should absolutely be discouraged from their inappropriate and evil pursuits. Because of this, you'll notice that ALL of the intros are ruined. If you find your inner zen, accept it, and move forward smiling you'll be fine (keep repeating). Did I claim the complaints department was closed? Sorry!
Having learned what was on the set for the club shows they played earlier this week as a warm up for...Warm Up, I'd hoped they'd keep some of them around for the festivals. They did. How great is it to hear ERM=BD again? And did you ever think you'd cheerily accept an offer of Formaldehyde?
Oh, and Heart Attack is amazing here, especially those super-creepy backing vocals. Never has a song, which may or may not be about and unhealthy obsessive love gone too far, made me feel more like dancing wildly. Don't worry, my hips are fully under control so the recording process was never in peril.
With that thought in mind...enjoy the music, there's time stamps in the comments ;)

Many thanks for uploading and for your channel!! I was happily there in front row :) they always amaze me with how perfect their sound is!. Tom seemed a bit tired/distracted, but anyway vocals were fantastic!
PS: yes, maybe the DJ talking is a bit annoying, but they were speaking in good terms about the band and praising Tom's spanish accent :)
I love Strawberry Lemonade as an opener.
Hope ERM is kept on the festival set list Thanks again for the upload
Nos faltó que tocaran Violence. Por lo demás concierto impresionante, mereció la pena ir.....
Thank you for your hard work, Lemming. Much love ❤️
Just arrived home from a spot of shopping and was greeted by this awesome video. Thanks so much!!! I'm too thrilled to be concerned about small niggles.
It's my birthday 🎂🎊 on Wednesday and I consider this to be an early birthday present 🎁.
Edited to add that I just read the description again. To me, Heart Attack is a song about sex, an arrogant song about sex. If talking to Tom about the song writing process was ever an option, this is the first song that I would ask about.
I brought up the subject of Bens absence on the Editors Facebook group.
I find the lack of communication from the band odd. I know there is never an official announcement regarding Justins occasional absences but its well documented why Justin has time out now and again.
If ben has other contractual obligations or lucrative sounstracks to produce then just tell us we can all rest easy. To be fair i think a likely scenario for the future is that Ben remains a 6th member and contributes to the album but then doesnt tour... A bit like a Nigel Godrich with Radiohead.
I just wanna know whats going off! 😂
Thanks a lot, I was there and it was perfect, I don't understand the autotune comment, can you explain please?
A couple of the acts that played before Editors used autotune on their vocals, and it didn't sound great (in my opinion, obviously).
Oh yeah, they sounded horrible. Excuse me, for a moment I thought you were referring to Editors :)
No problem at all ;)
Amazing Editors concert once again so so very underatted.
Thanks for uploading. The DJs are annoying talking over the music (not a criticism of the upload). I just wish they would shut up.
I like that because it's Radio 3 from Spain, I'm an spaniard and Radio 3 is part of the national media. It's great promotion this people are talking about Editors in a national "channel"
