Clint Eastwood" (featuring Phi Life Cypher).It is not a representation of all shows on the tour. The following setlist is obtained from the concert held in London on 22 March 2001. However, according to Haruka Kuroda, budgeting issues prevented most of the voice actors from participating in the concert's international legs Kuroda was the only voice actor to tour with the band beyond Europe. The voice actors of the virtual band toured alongside the real band, speaking to the crowd and each other in-between songs. I'm not that daft." Gorillaz Live was ultimately the only tour to have the musicians silhouetted behind a screen. In a 2010 interview, Albarn voiced distaste at the concept of hiding collaborators behind a screen on the then-upcoming Escape to Plastic Beach Tour: "I couldn't entertain the idea of putting Lou Reed or Bobby Womack behind a screen. Later still, Albarn called the screens "obtuse", believing the human element of the band necessitated a change. Lead singer Damon Albarn later expressed discomfort at this setup, confessing that he "was frustrated" behind the screen. The logistics of an animated band going on tour proved problematic, with Jamie Hewlett saying in a mid-2001 interview: "We've come to realize that we've come up with something that's a bit ahead of its time and the technology doesn't exist to do everything we want to do, so the live show was something we had to really think hard about." As a compromise between having a live and virtual stage presence, the band's musicians played behind a giant cinema screen, which projected music videos and visuals to the crowd.

Phi Life Cypher, did however perform the track with Gorillaz at the Brit Awards, featuring the band in 3D animation, weaving in and out of each other on four large screens along with their rap accompaniment. This version was later officially released on G-Sides, a compilation of the B- sides from the first three singles which was released in Japan and quickly followed with international releases in early 2002. However Damon Albarn and Dan The Automator decided to use Del the Funky Homosapien instead. Phi Life Cypher featured on an earlier version of Clint Eastwood by Gorillaz. Phi-Life Cypher made it to the final of Tim Westwood's Talent 2000 competition and ripping the mic on DJ Skitz's seminal posse cut 'Fingerprints of the Gods' projected them to the upper realms of the UK Hip Hop scene. The trio started making music together around 1996, and since have had much success on the UK underground circuit. Phi Life Cypher is a British hip hop group based in Luton, comprising two MCs, Si Phili and Life MC, and DJ Nappa. However Damon Albarn and Dan The Automator decided to use Del the Funky Ho.
