Yes he used to use a HH VS Musician Combo with the logo stencilled on in silver. The panel behind the the controls light up.

I still have a VS musician head.....

Felt like the loudest Spiritualized show I've ever been to, or maybe I forgotten what they used to be like... ? I thought it was an incredible show, a real step up from the past few I've seen.... I really love the new album so a SHSL heavy set is fine by me, and a nice mix up of the oldies (with som...

*Then I got distracted by the drunken loons who took out most of the second row with their over the top dancing during "She Kissed Me...." (and general twatish behaviour throughout). Felt sorry for the folk who'd been standing down the front all evening that felt they had to move away.. I...

*Spoiler Alert* Well.. 'Hey Jane' + those strobes made for one hell of an opener... I was thinking "this is gonna be the best show in ages". Then I got distracted by the drunken loons who took out most of the second row with their over the top dancing during "She Kissed Me...." (...

and if it gives people something to look forward to..... then why not.

I won't be rushing for tickets, but will certainly be looking on in interest.

i know it aint such a big deal, I DEFINATELY wont go to the gigs, i may be tempted to buy the record tho, im just pissed off that they have fucked up their "legacy" big time, same as the Pistols, in my opinion probably the purest, unsullied band of all time, (one f**king brilliant lp then...

A friend recommended LGM which I loved, so he kindly bought me a ticket for the Shephards Bush Empire show in February 1995..... I was seriously blown away by the show, like nothing I'd ever seen before. The singer was so cool and didn't talk between songs, you could barely see the band for the smok...

from a Drowned in Sound user : I'm going to be shot down in flames for saying this But sod it. That was dreadful. Imagine Oasis recording Heathen Chemistry with Ornerte Coleman breathing down their necks. Imagine them then being force fed Richard Ashcroft's lyric book. Imagine Liam Gallagher found ...

When the show was announced the "career spanning set" mention actually put me off getting a ticket. Over the years I've heard most of the songs I'd want to hear and you kinda know what you're gonna get. I was also at the last RAH show and questioned whether it could be better... Then when ...

10mins ago I bought an arena standing ticket from the RAH box office.... Seems like there were more than one there as well.. Worth a shot if anyone else like me was leaving it too late to decide.

The thought of not going just got too much....

Does anyone recognise the bass amp in between the Fender head and the folded 'W' horn cab? It's reminiscent of an old solid state Acoustic model I think, assuming that image is flipped and the 5 band eq is actually on the right hand side. Interesting to see Jason using what appears to be an HH VS 2...

Cool thread, just so happens I've only really discovered Levitation this month after being a 'House of Love' fan for years and years... Anyhow, I bought 'Need For Not' & 'Cotterie' on CD and then downloaded the 9 Musocity Bickers 'Meanwhile Gardens' tracks and am totally blown away by them.. esp...

Wow, what an amazing night!! As I walked down to my seat the girl working there said "the performance tonight will involve intense strobes" I replied "that's what I'm here for...." It was really something... and Jason knew it, I don't think I've ever seen him smile so much. they ...

No, not really. I listened to it the other night for the 2nd time in 12 years and I didn't think the multi tracked vocals worked as well together (but that's probably just me). I guess over the years I've come to love way those lyrics & vocal lines interwine......... ;) I seem to remember readin...

Here you go Kriss - http://www.4shared.com/file/141977926/3ddff844/01_Ladies_and_Gentleman_We_Are_Floating_In_Space.html Hope this helps : ) Cheers Tufty, That's fantastic! It's such a great recording.... I was listening to it yesterday and before I knew it I'd got out my debit card and ordered one...

Thanks, I'll spend the morning hunting for something... unless anyone else can help....

It's strange as I've downloaded the gig as a whole and unzipped the file into the seperate tracks... every other track plays fine through mediaplayer/realplayer...

I'll get there...

[quote="toomilk"]Tufty actually posted it as one file on Megaupload: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=P1IP7FFK Thanks for posting this ... I downloaded it but track 1 (the title track) doesn't seem to be in MP3 format like the others and I can't listen to it... :( . I downloaded it again but s...

Agree with Jesus Son.... Guitars, Farfisa & Brass coming in way too loud at times (or not loud enough in others) and being dragged back down quickly which made it sound worse.. It was the first time I've ever seen an album played as a whole and it confirmed to me that half the fun of a gig is an...

Thanks for that, i'll check it out...

Gottafire: Sorry to hear about the shit you're going through, I hope they find the bastard(s) who did it to you... from personal experience I know it's not nice........

Does anyone know where I might be able to find a list of tour dates from 1995 onwards??? I'm being a bit of a trainspotter and trying to work out what shows I've been to since I first saw them on the Pure Phase tour.

Cheers

Ha, after turning down front stall seats (that were right on the end of a row) I just went for some nice central GG ones....... Gonna be fantastic.

I found the the seating plan link below pretty helpful...

I could be wrong.

They played this at The Astoria the day the album came out, the only time I've heard it live. I'm looking forward to hearing Cool Waves & Stay With Me... these are the ones I've never heard live.

Does anyone know if you can choose seats when you book via Seetickets? Or if you just get what you get....

Looking forward to this..... and wondering if they'll play anything special after the Ladies & Gentlemen set.

Sweet!! My first show was the Shepards Bush one around this time, this video brings back wonderful memories. My mate bought me a ticket as he thought I should go... It blew me away. I couldn't believe how good they were so we drove to the Portsmouth Pyramids a couple of nights later and bought ticke...

I'd read an interview recently with J in which he said the lyrics to this song were a metaphor. I can't remember the exact explanation but it was something along the lines that the character in the song was trying to break his family ties. Trying not to become what was expected of him and not become...

I really enjoyed this show but found it hard to get lost in the music like I have at previous shows (I've seen 'em 20 times + over the past 13 years)... I was near the front but still couldn't help but be distracted by the constant chatter around me and by those who were constantly pushing past to g...
