starts terribly (imo) and progresses to OK throughout the set.
great to hear them play again live, but... they're rusty. the final song, though... incredible.
if this goes down I can upload it tomorrow. going to bed, though, so, goodnight and here's a present.

Great stuff, cheers!
Goes some way to make up for not getting tickets for Glasgow.

I'm really enjoying this. I have to say I always thought they were a bit of a shambles live anyway. Shame there's not a snifter of anything new.

Wow I have to turn the subs down for this one! I can only imagine how loud this must have been live.

Yeah, I mean even Kevin Shields said he hated playing live, cause it's to much of a hassle to get things sounding right. So playing and not being able to get your desired sound must make it hard.

True, plus the vocals are a big part of their sound and live they just don't carry at all.

I can't wait to hear their new material!
By the way, is anyone else somewhat infatuated with Bilinda Butcher?

Sounds immense - I tried to get tickets fro Glasgow, but it sold out too quickly. Some of the reviews i've read likened taking earplugs out mid-gig to "being punched in the head" and described people staggering out at the end, dazed and struggling to stand up...

I'm well pissed off cos my original plan for this year was to be in Japan by now but that fell through. If I knew I'd still be in the country I would have bought a ticket in a heartbeat.

"it's so beautiful" crying or "my ears are imploding" crying?
also, I can't stop listening to this... at high volume, it's just... sublime.

Possibly both.

yeah, both.
now they are giving free earplugs in the entrance to the shows.
and deerhunter's bradford made a review of one of the london gigs. pretty nice.
It was the single loudest thing I have ever experienced. The sound moved my face. My balls retracted. It was like standing in front of the mouth of hell or a nuclear holocaust. If this sounds like fun, you are like me and FUCKED UP. It hurt.
Other random notes / points for discussion among you, the reader:
1. Debbie Googe is a badass.
2. Is the cathartic noise-burst at the end (which you've all probably read or heard about or perhaps even experienced firsthand) really cathartic since we all know its coming. Does this reduce its impact?
3. My Bloody Valentine are a folk band. Their music transfers experience in broad, ambiguous terms utilizing simple chords and melodies.
4. The sound guy (who also does sound for Mogwai) deserves some kind of huge reward for being a brilliant sonic architect.
5. This is not a point of debate but an observation: During the final 20 minute nihilist noise assault I went from excited to tense to happy to sort of depressed to feeling ill to feeling absolutely nothing. It is the closest I have come to complete meditation or a hypnotic state in a long time. I actually did not think at all for about five minutes.
6. Moses noted that "Belinda had the same facial expression when she was staring at the ground playing guitar that a elementary school teacher has when operating a photocopier."
7. Whitney who has never heard of MBV and was dragged to the show by the rest of us looked up to me at one point and silently mouthed the words "what the fuuuuuck" to me. She also smiled a lot before her fucking face melted off.
