After 15 years as one of dance music's most revered acts, Faithless has made its final bow.
The band came to London's O2 Academy Brixton on Friday 8 April for a long-sold-out final show, and from all reports they made it count. For all those who couldn't get tickets, the performance was also broadcast live via satellite in cinemas across Northern Europe.
In the true spirit of the band, the London gig was a celebration. Just like LCD Soundsystem's last-ever show in their spiritual home of New York, Faithless delivered a career-spanning set-list. They also came equipped with an eye-popping light show, including some always-welcome lasers.
The first video below (shot by a cinema-goer) shows set closer We Come 1, with a clearly emotional Maxi Jazz leading the crowd through an ecstatic last hurrah. We can only imagine how the venue’s foundations shook on the night.
As Faithless themselves beamed yesterday: "The party may have ended but the memories go on!"
Hopefully there’ll be a DVD to help us remember!..
