First review I've seen of this tour. The write seems to spend a lot of time trying to make sense of it all.

Looks like this has now moved indoors. Now in the Old Fruitmarket

Likewise for me, having spent many of my formative teenage years out and about in Rugby. Sadly post the Spacemen3 era though.

The Breeders' Josephine Wiggs has a new album which Jonny Mattock plays on. The track shared in the article is very haunting and rather excellent.

I read this in one sitting on Saturday, after the spz gig in Amsterdam. Made me wish I was just a few years older so I could have actually seen Spacemen 3. An enjoyable easy read, love letter to the band I'd say.

clewsr

Similar setlist in Copenhagen. Without doubt the most boring Spz gig I've ever seen. Great show in Stocholm the day after - same set, but much more intense and hypnotic. In particular On the Sunshine, The Morning After and Oh Happy Day were stellar, and Doggen’s guitar was fantastic. Great lights (...

clewsr

We were on the balcony, it was a good view up there and had room to move a bit. I agree with you Runcible on the highlights. I do think the end of the show in particular was lackluster. I know its the start of the tour and things will improve. I guess the whole play of ANH will last the whole tour? ...

clewsr

Agreed

clewsr

Yeah. It probably didn't help that we couldn't see the guitarists from where we were, but the impressioni for last night was much more of a singer songwriter with backing band.

I miss the American flavour band. I still think that Hendon bridge gig was the best I'd seen them in a very long time

clewsr

We enjoyed the show. Great venue. I must admit I struggled with the tempo though. It was fine to hear the whole album but better and louder songs at the end would really have helped. I'd drop broken heart, so long you pretty thing and happy day in favour of heading for the top, smiles, or take me to...

clewsr

Thanks. Herman. Membership sorted. Had a good day wandering around the city. Looking forward to the gig now.

clewsr

Get quite excited about the trip to Amsterdam now!

Some questions -

- Who else on this forum is going?
- Parradiso website says membership is required for some gigs. Does anyone know if this applies to the spz gig?
- Any word of a support?
- Any suggestions for bars or cafes nearby?

clewsr

Great Film! I've kind of forgotten about the Rev over the years. It might be time to dig out that first album again.

I think the footage could also be be the inspiration for Yo Gabba Gabba??

clewsr

nice one Laz. Just started on this - Frankie & The Witch Fingers - Brain Telephone LP Ridiculously catchy psych with poppy undertones. Brilliant songs and full of energy. The song of the same name is one of the best toe-tappers I've heard in a while! https://youtu.be/o-nPMpTsfh8?t=15 ..One minut...

maybe for the best. It must have been my terse feedback.

clewsr

I always quite like to hear a spacemen 3 or spiritualized cover... imagine my disappointment when I clicked on this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-pgTGWSM8
.. or is it just me??

clewsr

How Odd. I do really like it, but the candy crush track is 5 years old, so unless Jason did produce it for them, the lawsuit could be heading in Spirituaized's direction?

It kind of reminds of the first time I saw the toffee crisp advert and freaked the fuck out.

clewsr

Something no one has asked for ages - 'When are you going to reform Spacemen 3'

clewsr

oh that sad / disturbing news. Just as they had broken through this year.

clewsr

That is a great video! Thanks for sharing. That Sway is just lovely!

clewsr

Its from the Mr Lonely sound track.

clewsr

this is also quite an amusing read https://www.gigwise.com/features/3286185/i-m-already-a-king-richard-ashcroft-interviewed?fbclid=IwAR2qMayRu7zL5B0SMfW4eUtvhFNLNTWh85d5_dQYGYOLnnVI0mYPJiB08xw Together with dropping a packet of white powder on the studio floor on Soccer AM. Classy. For Kate spotters...

clewsr

lovely! Too short though!

clewsr

I'm normally a quite a completist when it comes to Jason's work, but I think I'll swerve this.

'J. Spaceman recorded this strange record at his own Amazing Grace Studio in June 2005.'

I wonder what happened to the Amazing Grace Studio?

Good to hear from you Runcible! I agree with much of what you said, although I'm keener on the Saxophones than you are. I was pleased to hear them make a strong return on this record. Also the absence of Lord / Jesus lines makes it a much easier listen. I think it is most positive and uplifting albu...

clewsr

I'm going to this show., My guess would be no orchestra - given the big shows are very loss making - I imagine next years shows will be mostly normal band.

clewsr

interesting read Andy, particularly about fui.

clewsr

oddly enough, although I didn't know the connection I was thinking of fat white family when I was listening to it. Perhaps because of the similar band names rather than the music.

The Times gives it 5*'s, but the rest is behind a paywall.. ★★★★★ This year, Jason “Spaceman” Pierce has faced something of a crisis. Ever since he formed Spiritualized from the ashes of minimal pioneers Spacemen 3 in 1990, Pierce has been going the other way and getting maximal: he’s made albums wi...

What a great Gig! Like Spiby i missed the Albert hall in 1997, and always regretted it. The fact that more than 21 years later I still have the chance to see life-afirming shows like this is amazing really. The teaser of old stuff before the new stuff came along was very effective. I was so pleased ...

clewsr

Is there? That seems very unusual for spiritualized these days.

clewsr

We are going to be on tight timecales getting down to London after dumping our kids with some (very kind) friends.

Does anyone have any thoughts on when show time will be. Doors are 7.00pm It won't start before 8.00pm, surely?

clewsr

I really liked Kate's keyboard playing, It was the backbone of the LGM era sound. Simple and very effective.

clewsr

I can't believe I missed you Olan! I kept my eyes peeled for you. Good gig though eh. For me they are the AC/DC of drone rock.

clewsr

Yay. Just got tickets for Amsterdam.

clewsr

Normally wouldn't link to the S*n, but Jason's done an interview with them, so there you go https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/7 ... urt-album/

clewsr

As the title says, I think I have a spare ticket for tonight's gig. Let me know if you want it.

clewsr

I'm very much enjoying the album. For the first time since LGM, it feels like a consistently positive uplifting sound and feel. He's finally made a happy album again, albeit lyrically steeped in melancholy. This is a good interview - https://noisey.vice.com/en_us/article/3kyx95/jason-pierce-spiritua...

'The Morning Song' is Surely the' A Song, no'?
Don't think so, different lyrics and riff.

I'm being dim. I just thought it was familiar, but then I realised that because The Morning After has already been played live.

My vinyl has arrived!

theres now a you tube version of the new lp here. https://youtu.be/Eifj_YcrzDA anyone else finding Jason's interviews for this mildly amusing?. especially the pop at Will (who I thought had been very diplomatic in his book). and its amusing to claim the band is near bankrupt when you're the only ac...

I can't belive how much I like Let's Dance. I thought the early live versions where really underwhelming, but now it sounds like a golden lost cut from LGM!

Sounds like the lyric, "Take a line, it'll be alright and we'll get stoned all through the night" has been changed to, "Take a ride, it'll be alright and we'll lay back all through the night." Shit. I've been playing this song to my kids for years. Are drugs references really no...

Just to be clear, the CD available on that page is still the original version, not the John Rivers remaster. I got over excited yesterday, ordered the CD and then realised my likely mistake. David Barker got back to me super quick and confirmed.

the new Vinyl IS mastered by John.

Thanks! Good to hear.

I thinks there is some truth in that, the side projects are never going to make any money.
