Spiritualized acoustic. Now that would be something to hear/see.
I stupidly haven't listened to nearly enough of this band.

I get to see them at this place again;

The Sage

Or indeed here;

He's calling the tour "Acoustic Mainline".

That's great!!!

And British!!

You should come over for it Vikinggod...very few opportunities to see the Spaceman doing acoustic stuff...

Let me think...

I don't have a job to go to... so maybe.

£15 for the gig ticket...gigs aren't til October and November...

damn, thats sounds pretty chill. i can't wait for the new album.

i'm glad he's up and about. it would be sad if jason was a vegetable and sonic was mental. at least one of them is in the human realm.

if they tour again i'm seriously following them round the country!! (provided the strobe light comes with them)

what happened to sonic??????

drugs, past and present.

send him an email and say hi!
sonic@sonic-boom.info

is he actaully a vegetable? or just depressed and fucked up

oh no! i was exaggerating in my initial post! i meant jason being in a coma or whatever - i think he was the one in danger of turning into a vegetable. from all accounts, sonic seems to be having a merry old time, but he doesn't make much sense! i know a couple of people on here who have had correspondence with him, and some friends gave him a call whilst in the UK - apparently he just rambled for 10 minutes and they couldn't make head nor tail of it. he's seems an eccentric fellow who likes his party favours.

Got my tickets for the Sage.

Sweet.

Favourite Spiritualized song anyone?

Anything More is mine, followed by Lord Let it Rain On Me.

ladies and gentlemen we are floating in space...the elvis (?) version all the more than the album one.

I may not agree on your taste in footy teams, filterfeed, but I'm with you on "ladies and gentlemen"... that "I don't belieeeeve... I could still fall in love with you" gets me every time. that metro show was pretty incredible.

Spiritualized in 2004 at the POW in Melbourne rates as one of the best gigs I've ever been to. Jason said about three words to the crowd, sat on a stool with his back to us but still had everyone captivated for 2 hours. And the strobes, oh the strobes.

Great news he's going on tour.

Oh no! Who throws a bottle at Spiritualized? Fuck! How far into the set was it?

Ah that's fucked...

3 songs in. They (probably quite rightly) cracked the shits and marched off.

To be fair, they battled on valiantly despite the equipment fuck ups, but yes, killed the momentum. Still some stand out moments. And Bobby Gillespie was standing behind me.

I was rubbing his leg so we must have been close.

It took shambolic to the point of being almost pantomime, with the tubby guitar tech buzzing around. Shame. Certainly made for some stripped-back stuff. At one point when the backing vocals kicked in I got this wave of shivers. Been a while since I got that. Some awesome bits. Nothing may ever top the show at the prince the first time they ever toured here.

I was particularly annoyed when the guitar fucked up during 'A Song'. Awesome track.

Yes.

Worst moment was the ending to electricity, when the guitar died right when the squalling feedback was cutting loose and sounding incredible and deafening. That was when a dude near me yelled repeatedly, ''AAAAANNNN ATROCITY..''

We were right near him too. What a tool. Hardly the band's fault that equipment was failing.

Yeah, but fuck, move on, stop sooking and just plug directly into yr amp.

The first song was epic, the next 5 were great but then all that standing around got a bit too much to bear. If yr going to Meredith, make sure you don't miss the first song.

i've always found that live they are even better than the recordings, but it's nothing to do with showmanship.

'A Song' at Meredith

Come Down Easy, Taiwan (last week)

I really really enjoyed the Hi Fi show, despite the technical issues. It semed that the band were a little bit more determined to raise it. Set mix was brilliant, no-one does tension and release better. And it was very cool to see Bobby G in the crowd and lining up out the front of the venue with all the other punters waiting to get in. Way to keep it real, man. And hope the lady that looked like she was having a seizure was OK.

I sat in the toilet the entire show. Was quite comfy, and wasn't too loud.

Also, I think Bobby G got knocked back by security and rather than do all the ol' ''don't-you-know-who-I-am'' deal, chose not to cause a scene.

Respect

pure phase tones for djs - just heard a track from this? does anyone have it?
