Moby — Sportpaleis, Antwerp (PLAY 25), 2024

Why this recording

After more than a decade away from the stage, Moby went back on the road for the 25th anniversary of “Play”, and ARTE Concert filmed just one night of that run: Antwerp. At close to two hours for a show of roughly 2 h 10, the video covers almost the whole set. It opens with “My Weakness” and brings in Lady Blackbird for “Walk With Me” and “Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad?”. The encore starts with a cover of “Ring of Fire” before “Natural Blues”, “Feeling So Real” and “Thousand”.

On 21 September 2024, Moby celebrated the twenty-fifth anniversary of his cult album « Play » at Antwerp’s Sportpaleis in Belgium, on a European tour. This concert, the tour’s only filmed date and broadcast by ARTE Concert, sees the American musician, DJ, guitarist and composer revisit the tracks that made « Play » the soundtrack of a generation, with over twelve million copies sold. On stage, surrounded by his musicians and backing vocalists, Moby alternates the album’s electro-blues hits with successes from other records, from « Go » to « Lift Me Up ». The hypnotic staging, the lighting and the collective energy make this live recording a high point, carried by an artist long committed to the animal cause. A major figure of electronic music, Moby delivers here a generous filmed concert at the crossroads of electro, sampled blues and pop. A reference for lovers of electronic music and filmed arena concerts, to relive in full, sustained by constant emotion and a keen sense of visual staging.
