Heard a rumour they're playing N.Y in July. Is this true?

it's not on the ticketmaster site anymore though.

When Spiritualized were announced for ATP earlier this year, it was "a European exclusive", which would indicate (to me, at least) that there were plans to take the Ladies and Gentlemen... show to the US.

spazed99 · Post by **spazed99** » Thu Jun 03, 2010 5:02 pm

Yes it's true, an announcement is imminent.

spazed99 · Post by **spazed99** » Thu Jun 03, 2010 6:09 pm

And as ticketmaster rather prematurely announced it will be Radio City Music Hall, Friday, July 30th. This will be the only North American Ladies and Gentlemen show, and the final one.

Fucking stellar.
I live 20 minutes outside of Manhatten.
I'll be at Radio City the week before for another gig.
Looks like I'll be there on the 30th.

toomilk · Post by **toomilk** » Thu Jun 03, 2010 11:37 pm

Won't be able to make it for a number of reasons. Shame it was announced less than two months before.

Does this show entail the inclusion of a Rockettes section?

Steve:
I will be there as well. We must meet up. I haven't been to NYC since 1995. I was on a retail panel at CMJ. I went to McSorely's Ale House and had 4 pints before the panel w/another panel participant and all I could think about the whole time on this panel was that I had to pee. Bad. The 4 pints really took care of my fear of public speaking and sharpened my cynicism. I knew I was closing up shop and needed one last hurrah in the music biz. Didn't go down particularly well w/others on the panel but the audience enjoyed the two of us w/dutch courage telling what we really thought.

purespace · Post by **purespace** » Fri Jun 04, 2010 5:17 pm

Fantastic Alan! There may be 3 of us coming now, possibly 4. Looking forward to many pints

tickets on sale next week...

spazed99 · Post by **spazed99** » Mon Jun 07, 2010 8:43 pm

Pre-sale for tickets for Amex card holders starts on Friday June 11th, general sale is next Monday June 14th. Full press release is available on Wednesday.

marcvolta · Post by **marcvolta** » Mon Jun 07, 2010 9:56 pm

how does the amex presale thing work?????????????

purespace · Post by **purespace** » Tue Jun 08, 2010 12:18 am

seriously?

Be right back.

just approved by Amex

Bring on Friday

marcvolta · Post by **marcvolta** » Tue Jun 08, 2010 1:28 am

do i really have to sign up for a credit card to get good tix for this????????

toomilk · Post by **toomilk** » Tue Jun 08, 2010 2:16 am

If you go to a Ticketmaster box office or outlet you can pay in cash.

spazed99 · Post by **spazed99** » Tue Jun 08, 2010 9:22 am

The tickets available via the pre-sale do not have the monopoly on the 'best' seats.

icemouse · Post by **icemouse** » Tue Jun 08, 2010 12:02 pm

so AMEX has the pre-sale? i assume then the sale code will be to enter your CC digits? I don't want to have to fight for good seats with the general public but I know other times I've tried credit card based presales, the seats were not only not the best, they were outright bad..

marcvolta · Post by **marcvolta** » Tue Jun 08, 2010 12:13 pm

If i go to a retail outlet do i need an amex for the presale???

i dont wanna sound like im bitching, I am not!!!!
i just need to go to this show and dont want to buy tix from some turd on ebay or stubhub!!!!!

do you think i would be ok if i waited till monday???

icemouse · Post by **icemouse** » Tue Jun 08, 2010 1:43 pm

If the pre-sale is AMEX then yes, to pre-order you will need an AMEX card no matter where you go. AMEX has only bought a certain allocation of tickets, though, so the show can not be sold out from pre-sale. If you wait until Monday, you will be guaranteed a CHANCE at getting tickets(though, of course, not guaranteed a ticket)

Fatah Ruark · Post by **Fatah Ruark** » Tue Jun 08, 2010 5:08 pm

Nice. I ordered a AMEX card a few weeks ago for this very purpose! Tried to get Roger Waters tickets and needed an AMEX for the presale.

That worked out nicely. Now I just need to hope I can pull decent seats with this. Worse comes to worse I can buy some more on the regular presale date and sell the AMEX seats if they aren't as good.

Flying in from Denver for this. Recorder WILL be in tow.

icemouse · Post by **icemouse** » Tue Jun 08, 2010 11:53 pm

Likewise, I have no doubt that buying two AMEX tickets and two general sale tickets will be a good investment

AA.

Still...catch you there.

icemouse · Post by **icemouse** » Fri Jun 11, 2010 6:06 pm

I really wasn't prepared for it when it happened enough to try and be selective about seats, hah. I didn't even know how much they cost until I got my confirmation email

good dope/good fun · Post by **good dope/good fun** » Fri Jun 11, 2010 6:09 pm

I wouldn't worry.
The pit seats are only available for select performances.
It would be where the orchestra would play.
I think you're in pretty good shape.

The link comes up in google as being on the news page and, for whatever reason, that line " The event will be recorded live and a limited edition CD will be available " also comes from the news feed, but it's from the second Silent Sound broadcast and does not pertain to the radio city music hall show.

I wouldn't mind a live LAGWAFIS release though....

Hi All:

I'm new to the forum. I'm stoked to see the show. I got row DD, Jason side. Flying in from Chicago.

Peace!

toomilk · Post by **toomilk** » Sat Jun 12, 2010 11:09 pm

So I guess this is being billed as part of Spin's 25th anniversary concert series.

Either that or they are playing another show in NYC around the same time, it's really not clear from their article: http://www.spin.com/articles/flaming-li ... ert-series

EDIT: Correction, it is the Radio City Music Hall show. No other show, according to Consequence of Sound. People going to NYC to see the show might be interested in going to the other ones though. http://consequenceofsound.net/2010/06/1 ... itualized/

Having sat in rows 4 and 5 respectively each night at RFH and leary of sound issues again, I went straight for 1st Mezzanine seats for Radio City. This is making my summer

Whooo - it worked! What a way to round off my honeymoon

(although there's West Side Story the following evening - the deal goes "I take us to Spiritualized, you can take us to a muscial!).

jchan · Post by **jchan** » Mon Jun 14, 2010 4:41 pm

Hah! Now you have me thinking of asking my wife to pick a musical...but it will have to be after the Gories, who are playing for free on Saturday at 2pm "Outdoors at Lincoln Center"....(They're also doing a show the same night as Spiritualized that will probably start very late....theoretically poss. to catch it AND the SPT show...)

Now I'm getting greedy. Better look into that musical...

purespace · Post by **purespace** » Sun Jun 20, 2010 11:29 pm

Anyone know if the London Community Gospel Choir is being brought over for this gig? If not, any info on whose backing besides the immediate band members?

Post by **spzretent** » Tue Jun 22, 2010 3:07 pm

I do know when Spiritualized played the Apollo Jason rehearsed a "choir" all day in NYC who also backed them in Toronto and Boston on the acoustic tour. Given the fact they are only playing one show its probably the same women. And they were fantastic as you will remember Steve.

t0kdag0n · Post by **t0kdag0n** » Mon Jul 12, 2010 11:44 pm

A very good day here that just brought a whole new curve ball to this show. I've been dropping in the Ticketmaster site over the past week or so to see if there were any sweet seats to upgrade to. I could not believe my eyes when this afternoon I pulled two tickets in PIT Row AAA. I am still in shock! lol. The other pair I have are great seats too, fourth row center in the first mez. These will probably have terrific sound but I could not pass up being right down in THE FRONT ROW! As if I weren't AMPED enough over this show!

I do not see any other seats being offered in the Pit right now but I would keep your eyes peeled!

toomilk · Post by **toomilk** » Tue Jul 13, 2010 7:11 pm

I think those tickets are actually for the pit, which is general admission. So you can be in the front row if you get there early!

My friend got the same ones.

There is a bar called DBA in Greenwich Village also one called Blind Tiger which is supposed to good. I think we should put something together. Radio City is in mid town right? Not much of note around there.

toomilk · Post by **toomilk** » Tue Jul 20, 2010 8:23 pm

Since none of the other Don't Look Back shows had opening acts (sans the festival one), I wouldn't expect this one to have any as well.

Also, according to Spin, the show will be streamed live from their website and ZYNC facebook page....

Just as FYI to folks who might be in NYC for the weekend, Sonic Youth is playing a free show over at Prospect Park in Brooklyn the following Saturday night.

Might be worth checking out and hey - it's free!
