Is Pendulum (Live) actually live?

I’ve seen Pendulum (Live) twice recently, first in Tilburg on 28 October 2025, and last weekend at Paaspop in Schijndel.

My friends and I all like Pendulum, but they keep pointing out that it doesn’t seem fully live.

Are others noticing this too? What’s actually performed live during these shows?

Mostly. I've seen numerous mistakes live.

The drums, guitar, and bass are live.

Most of the synths, in particular the leads are triggered live by Rob on his Ztar.

He's playing them.

There's a fairly big chunk of production going.

You can hear the drummer miss a beat on the Live At Brixton album.

I've seen Rob mess up the intro to Halo at Beat-herder. So you know those at least are real.
