From my Facebook feed....
'All I want in life's a little bit of love to take the pain away...'
I thought I'd put this one to bed ('cos when you gotta sleep..you gotta sleep') but in talks with Goldenvoice we realised we'd never got the show out to the west coast. So here it is... 'Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space' live at the opening of Goldenvoice's new venue in LA, complete with an orchestra and gospel choir and with an added and surely requisite Valentine twist. I'm psyched. It's such an amazing show to perform and fulfils a dream that never happened when we first brought the show to the US at Radio City Music Hall in NY in 2010. If I get lucky I'll be out at Joshua tree playing some fine acoustic drones to fully complement the trip. Hope you can make it.... xJ

Maybe it's just me, but I think there should be some sort of "Outpatient" hook-up for this.
Re: L&GWAFIS - Live in LA - Feb. 14, 2014

something else worth noting:

must be the 'acoustic drones' that J. was referring to.
sounds like a good night out.

I signed up for their mailing list yesterday. If I get the email today, I'll post the link for those who didn't sign up in time for the pre-sale and would like to get in on this.
I think I feel it coming on

Re: L&GWAFIS - Live in LA - Feb. 14, 2014
What I was asking was whether this is now the price you expect to pay for this type of show in this location, or is it coming close to / equaling the recent scandalous Loop-like levels of price gouging?dselevan2 wrote:This (the cost of shows in la) is all nick cave's fault.
If you are implying this is now the norm in that market due to Nick Cave, could you elaborate on what he did that raised ticket prices?

Re: L&GWAFIS - Live in LA - Feb. 14, 2014
No, not the norm.
Last 2 nick cave shows were 200+. I guess bringing an "orchestra" and charging that much is the new thing to do.
What do you actually get with these VIP tickets? Seems like pappys for $25 is a better deal.

Seriously though, wasn't there a story about spaceman and cave on a mountain top once discussing price fixing?

I got the email and I already posted the details (check the last page).
In one hour. Password is "SPACE."

I love how the bio on the ticket page says "The band is currently finishing the new CD, due in 2007!!!"

Anyone have a better seating chart? I got ORCHR Row B Seat 12,13. Sites were saying VIP holders get access to the first 2 rows, but while trying to make another order (trying my luck getting front and center) rows F and G are showing up.
Re: L&GWAFIS - Live in LA - Feb. 14, 2014
I'm having no fucking luck. Nothing.
Been trying for an hour and now I can't access ticketmaster. I think they kicked me off or something...

Re: L&GWAFIS - Live in LA - Feb. 14, 2014
I got a ticket, but not in the sweet spot. An orchestra left was $92. You can search for the VIP seats that are ~$190 for something like row D in the orchestra. Not sure another hundred bucks is worth a few rows.
Re: L&GWAFIS - Live in LA - Feb. 14, 2014
Having trouble finding a ticket, oh well
Re: L&GWAFIS - Live in LA - Feb. 14, 2014
I guess they're all out of the presale tickets. I'll try again tomorrow.
With Spiritualized's track record, they'll probably announce a second night because of the demand of the show. Then play another date in another city. Then another. Then another. Then another. etc etc etc

Anyone have a more detailed seating chart? I got Row B seats 12 and 13, but will be kind of disappointed if I spent $400 for seats that are to the far right of the stage.
Re: L&GWAFIS - Live in LA - Feb. 14, 2014

Got shitty upper balcony seats for Friday, but then pretty great orchestra seats for Saturday.

Re: L&GWAFIS - Live in LA - Feb. 14, 2014
Thanks toomilk! Not sure how you got wind of the second show, but I found out about it from you. Got a better seat for night 2. I was hitting it right at 10:00 for the 14th and there absolutely nothing.

I got tickets for Saturday as well, ORCHR row E. I have VIP tickets in ORCHR row B for the first night.
Anyone generous enough to swap their Saturday (ORCHC or ORCHL) tickets, with my Saturday tickets? I don't want to be on the right side of the stage two nights in a row I'd prefer to be in the first 6 rows, on either the left or center.

Re: L&GWAFIS - Live in LA - Feb. 14, 2014
I actually just searched ticketmaster again and the second show popped up. haha. "Announced"....
Re: L&GWAFIS - Live in LA - Feb. 14, 2014
I was having issues with the add for the tivketmaster app blocking the capcha, so downloaded the app, saw Saturday upon search. So glad it was not $190 per ticket

Now that the ticket hoopla is over, let the fanboy talk commence.
1) Um, did anyone see the picture of the theater?!?!:
2) Will he be using the US band or bring Kevin and Stel along?
3) The first flyer said "...accompanied by full orchestra and choir," but the newer one says "...accomanied by orchestra, choir and special guests" !!!
So not a full orchestra (probably will have the 15 or so string players and then that brass quartet), but now 'special guests.' I wonder who that will be?

that theatre looks soo nice!
the RFH shows also promised 'special guests' but there were none to be seen (unless you count John Coxon, which only us fanboys would really consider a special guest)

Have a great time folks, looks like the band are quite excited about the show.

I am so down. I have tix to both nights and plan on breaking the atmospheric barrier. I would also be more than happy in sharing in the gospel of cannabis sativa, as it's more my thing. I'll be wearing a Playing With Fire shirt for the first night. PM me if you want to meet up before hand.toomilk wrote:So I'm staying at the hotel both nights.

Re: L&GWAFIS - Live in LA - Feb. 14, 2014
Really looking forward to this. Just bought a ticket off of craigslist for saturday night, at cost too! Was lucky enough to see them play in the desert last year at Pappy & Harriets but I know this gig is going to top anytime I've watched them before.
So I'm off to this on my own anyone fancy grabbing a drink beforehand?

Re: L&GWAFIS - Live in LA - Feb. 14, 2014
Two observations about the show thus far:
1) I heard the band sound checking with Out Of Sight from the elevator landing on my floor.
2) in the lobby, there was a couple in their mid 40s. It looked like the husband was treating his wife to a secret valentines day gift, which is a stay in the hotel and a show. The husband mentioned a concert and the wife turned and gleefully said, "what concert?!?" He said Spiritualized and as her smile slowly faded, she said, "I don't even know what that is!"
