I had seated tickets for the Stooges, that was weird. But they were complimentary so I can't complain. Seated behind Kevin Sheilds, even weirder.

think the last twice i've seen them were both brixton academy gigs - rollercoaster tour and acoustic(!) support for cocteau twins.

"All Things Must Pass" is classic JAMC. This is one of those bands who'll crank out passable-to-good-to-great shit as long as they feel like it.

who else is going to see them at Brixton Academy this Friday? do shows there usually end before the closing of the tube?
― alex in montreal, Tuesday, 4 September 2007 12:23 (sixteen years ago) link
they probably will, yes (kicking out time = 11ish, tube = 12 ish)
am still in two minds. ticket prices high. nobody to go with.
― koogs, Tuesday, 4 September 2007 14:56 (sixteen years ago) link
I'm going! I am meeting Dream Machine people beforehand in a pub.
― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 4 September 2007 14:59 (sixteen years ago) link
i was wrong about tube, forgot the victoria line closes early these days:
http://www.tfl.gov.uk/gettingaround/5508.aspx
From Brixton 22:11 northbound all stations to Walthamstow Central 22:21 northbound all stations to Seven Sisters
plenty of slow buses though. take one to stockwell and get northern line from there is quickest. overground trains available to victoria too, every 20 minutes.
― koogs, Tuesday, 4 September 2007 15:07 (sixteen years ago) link
(i also thought it was saturday. oh um)
the prices are high, but i figured i'm in london for the weekend, might as well catch some shows (and they were pretty good at the summercase festival, fwiw). anything good going on saturday night?
if you see a lonesome vietnamese dude, come say hi!
x-post: thanks koogs!
― alex in montreal, Tuesday, 4 September 2007 15:08 (sixteen years ago) link
May I just add that Richard Hawley's version of "Some Candy Talking" is very lovely indeed?
― bham, Tuesday, 4 September 2007 15:11 (sixteen years ago) link
The Victoria line will be closing early Mondays to Thursdays from 23 July to 22 November to allow line upgrade works.
It should* be running until late on Friday night.
*Who knows what state the network will be in when the strike finishes.

I was thinking of going to this, although I did see them at Meltdown a couple of months ago. But I'm going to be in Birmingham (at a Python Conference, no less) so I can't.

From The Times review of the RFH gig in June:
Jim screwed up the beginning of Snakedriver, and they had to start Just Like Honey three times before he located the correct key and entry point for the vocal at the same time.
It's like they've never been away :)
― onimo, Thursday, 6 September 2007 10:58 (sixteen years ago) link
It's like they never been to rehearsal, more like!

Can I just say how much better JAMC sound with Loz on drums... He's reined in his natural freneticism into the fills and breaks, but man those few seconds where he cuts loose...
Set list tonight: Never Understand Head On Far Gone And Out Catchfire Sidewalking Snakedriver Dead End Kids Happy When It Rains Some Candy Talking Between Planets Blues From A Gun Cracking Up All Things Must Pass Teenage Lust Sometimes Always Just Like Honey Vegetable Man You Trip Me Up Darklands Nine Million Rainy Days Reverence

ah but is it "Vegetable Fucking Maaaaaaan" or just the more restrained version thesedays?

Total "Vegetable Man"!
and I totally called Miranda Lee Richards to my friends even though I was up in the rafters. I totally chatted her up in Amoeba once but was too chicken to ask for digits.
― Spencer Chow, Wednesday, 24 October 2007 09:40 (sixteen years ago) link
I got to take 4 friends for free* because of your link, thanks Spencer! What an awesome show it was! After surprising me with "Vegetable Man", I was hoping they'd do "Surfin USA"!

― PJ Miller, Saturday, 5 January 2008 11:55 (sixteen years ago) link
Wow, hadn't heard about that at all! Tracklist? I hope it includes "Don't You Want Somebody to Love".
― Spencer Chow, Saturday, 5 January 2008 19:56 (sixteen years ago) link
I think Amazon had it for less than that.
When I saw this thread had been bumped I was hoping the tracklist had leaked :(
― Colonel Poo, Monday, 7 January 2008 11:26 (sixteen years ago) link
Asda online has it as £33.97 free delivery.

I like the 3 new tracks!

Still nothing on rhino.com about that box set... is it stil on?
― StanM, Saturday, 26 January 2008 17:32 (sixteen years ago) link
Still on apparently, but only three weeks from the release date it's astonishing that no track listing can be found.
― deedeedeextrovert, Sunday, 27 January 2008 04:18 (sixteen years ago) link
17 March is about one month from now. Still nothing on the Rhino site, still no tracklists anywhere. Not happening or delayed?
― StanM, Thursday, 14 February 2008 14:12 (sixteen years ago) link
Oh, and Spin CDs upped their expected price to £49.99

I don't get the Amazon.com entry at all - did they have it in stock last year but not anymore?

no.

Oddly enough, I have bought three of four of those CDs, and from Amazon no less, but hadn't heard of this. EERIE.

just wait until there's a solid confirmation before you place an Amazon preorder, dummies.

Tonight. Palace. Melbourne.

roundhouse: yep, but on the plus side the one date was pretty well attended. and they were a lot better than on previous sightings (rollercoaster and munki tours)
― cw, Thursday, 3 April 2008 11:04 (sixteen years ago) link
They encored with Darklands followed by Reverence.
Genius.
