It would be of benefit to anyone interested in attending a unique performance to be registered on the mailing list before next Monday, March 16th, when an announcement will be made.

Another Spiritualized Special in the offing!

How excited am I about this, on a scale of 1 to 10?

100

i've read thisbit of text now about 50 times trying to look for some kind of clue to what it might be but i don't think there is one? Aside from the 'unique performance' bit. I hope its some tiny, tiny kind of gig they are going to film or something.

Ooh, exciting! My guess is a "Don't Look Back" gig. All of LGM, PP or LAGWAFIS played in order, anyone?

There's a SpaceShipp show at QEH in April, maybe it's that?

No, that's already been announced and tickets have been on sale for ages.

This is something new!

Maybe the long-awaited full orchestra tie-up?

Maybe a Don't Look Back style effort?

Maybe a really unusual venue? (top of BT Tower please - always wanted to go up there)

Maybe (cough!) a Spacemen 3 one-off reunion....

I doubt it would be a 'Dont look back' style concert, I may be proved wrong but Jason is always saying about not returning to what he's done in the past (I know he's never played an album from start to finish), and that seems to suggest that hes not up for re-playing past work in this kind of traditional format. Like I say I could be proved wrong. But, I think the live shows are a complete separate entity to the recordings, and its where the band comes alive, so to let them take this kind of formulaic route might lose what the live performances are all about.

...or maybe.

A free gig in an intimate venue, free bar all night, Spiritualized T-shirt each with our board id on the back, Jason taking requests for songs, a full recording of the show on CD + DVD fully signed to each of us on the way out and Jason and Doggen give us all a lift home.

Jason and Doggen give us all a lift home

Nice, driving along in the 1998 red vauxhall astra, stereo throwing out some heavy dub (speakers distorting on the bass), the cars filled with smoke, Jason in shades leaning over from the front passenger seat (its not rock and roll for front men to drive) hand on the back of the drivers seat for support. "Is it okay if we drop you on the corner mate"..

I am apparently on the mailing list but I've never had an email from it. I hope it works I am excited to hear what's going down.

JPB · Post by **JPB** » Fri Mar 13, 2009 7:17 pm

A 'best of' show with Jason playing banjo...?

Doesn't it seem like a lot of thought went into that initial post? Thats what makes it even funnier!

marcvolta · Post by **marcvolta** » Sun Mar 15, 2009 12:32 am

i just love the line :the cars filled with smoke" it just strikes me a funny everytime i see it. i really dont know why it seems to jump out at me, it hard to describe via a typed message....
sorry

strangely, this isn't quite as far fetched as you might think, Jason used to bomb around Rugby in a red Metro in the Spacemen days!

James T · Post by **James T** » Sun Mar 15, 2009 5:07 pm

Any specific time to expect this email tomorrow? Heres hoping for a midnight jobby.

jesus son · Post by **jesus son** » Sun Mar 15, 2009 6:19 pm

Crikey, let's hope there's a RAH style balloon drop and the giant mirror balls come back!

Original line-up I wonder?

James T · Post by **James T** » Sun Mar 15, 2009 6:31 pm

We got the balloon drop at Roundhouse!

The Roundhouse ones were just plain white though!

simonkeeping · Post by **simonkeeping** » Mon Mar 16, 2009 9:06 am

Im a little bit confused? I take it this is the announcement? Looks cool! Not what I expected at all!

What was all the talk about the mailing list for though?

sunray · Post by **sunray** » Mon Mar 16, 2009 9:26 am

Yeah it seems i'm on the mailing list but have never received anything from this site ever. I saw on another forum that there's a pre-sale on Wednesday at 10 AM and that you have to enter a password to get a ticket, can anyone shed any light on this please?

purespace · Post by **purespace** » Mon Mar 16, 2009 10:35 am

If you signed up for the mailing list, they sent you the announcement along with the pre-sale password to purchase tickets on Wednesday before the public sale.

Another one in the "I'm signed up, no email though" camp here - most annoying. Does the password look "personalised" or is it likely to be the same for all? Don't want to miss out on this!

what about those who don't use myspace, or are only friends with people they actually know? i do hope they get it together to send out a mail at some point!

hmm, I received the email/password via Yahoo on Sunday and also through Myspace. I'm going to try to get tickets through the web on Wednesday. Hopefully everyone will be sorted with the password by then. Thanks spazed!

simonkeeping · Post by **simonkeeping** » Tue Mar 17, 2009 12:04 pm

Any updates on the lifts home? I guess they'll be hiring some kind of coach as the strings and the choir will need taking home to? Has Doggen applied for his provisional Passenger Carrying Vehicle (PCV) driving licence? Jason in his blazer on the mic doing his best tour guide impersonation? "ladies and gentlemen we are driving through London' (maybe get Kate Radley to do that bit). On the right is Jessie's minute mart, always good for some after hours beers and where I originally got the idea for 'Rated X'. Coming up now on the left is Terry, my dealer, hes good as gold and always sorts me out with some proper good weed. But please don't call him at the weekend though as hes seeing his kids! Anyone need some fags from the garage? wheree just coming up to the Jet on Goldhawk Road? I might get some monster munch..
