There's this one bit at 1:50 onwards that I've got on a loop. I'm going to play it until I'm sick of it

Hi????

This is simultaneously great and so, so unexpected! Calvin Harris with a full band, performing at Radio 1's Big Weekend in 2007 up in Preston. To think he could have gone down the indie rock band route!

This is also why I think of his early days as most adjacent to LCD Soundsystem rather than dance and EDM musicians. It could've been fun, too bad he doesn't quite associate with this anymore and requested it be taken down.
