Great show last night! Sounded amazing, in great spirits, super crowd pleasing setlist. Glad I could see Bitchin Bajas again. When they came out and jammed with SL at the end was so good....

Yeah, that was wonderful. The setlist was even better than I'd even hoped. Throwing in Vonal Declosion was a nice surprise.
― kitchen person, Sunday, 6 October 2019 14:12 (four years ago) link
Was glad to see how into the show and happy Laetitia was. Even hinted at touring again.

blue milk with BBs was really special to watch. not gonna get mad they didn't do jenny ondioline because it looks like they do a truncated portion of it. fun show, was surprised at how well the dots and loops and later stuff worked live

Does anybody know why the reissue of Cobra splits the original LP, putting tracks 12-15 on the bonus disk? Maybe it's explained in the liner notes, but that font is just too hard to read!
― henry s, Monday, 7 October 2019 14:13 (four years ago) link
Is it too long to fit on one disk with the full version of Blue Milk?
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Monday, 7 October 2019 14:15 (four years ago) link
Doesn't seem like it. The first disk clocks in at 59 min., which seems like it leaves enough time for the remaining tracks. (The original LP is 79 min. long.)
― henry s, Monday, 7 October 2019 14:25 (four years ago) link
LP?? do you mean CD?
― Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 7 October 2019 14:45 (four years ago) link
Yeah, CD.
― henry s, Monday, 7 October 2019 15:22 (four years ago) link
anything longer than around 79:10 on a CD is risky... some players will have problems playing beyond that. I've got a couple CDs that run to 81 minutes, but it makes sense that Stereolab would split the reissue to be safe... the total duration with the longer versions of some tracks on the reissue is up around 82 minutes.

makes sense...leave it to the 'Lab to think about stuff like that...

Hmmm they were not doing a collab with Bitchin' Bajas when I saw them, that must have developed after I caught them (or they just decided to skip it). I would have loved to have seen that.
― grandavis, Monday, 7 October 2019 16:44 (four years ago) link
They didn't at my show either
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Monday, 7 October 2019 17:13 (four years ago) link
I'm bummed that the opener for the show I have tickets to is someone called Bronze...? esp cuz the opener the night before is Wand, who I would love to see :( Would have also loved to see Bitchin Bajas.
― Οὖτις, Monday, 7 October 2019 17:26 (four years ago) link
I really like Bronze fwiw, cool sound. check out the "Live In San Francisco" release on Castle Face
― sleeve, Monday, 7 October 2019 17:55 (four years ago) link
thx will do, I know nothing about them
― Οὖτις, Monday, 7 October 2019 18:00 (four years ago) link
they made a mention that it was the BBs last show with them, seemed a bit of a tour sendoff
― global tetrahedron, Monday, 7 October 2019 18:07 (four years ago) link
my bklyn opener was Olivia Neutron John who I loved.

Rob from BBs played flute for an extended jam at the Detroit show. Unfortunately, bass frequencies were a bit blown out during that part of the show, but sounded good :)
Band seemed in good spirits at that set as well, would see again!
― dronestreet, Monday, 7 October 2019 19:11 (four years ago) link
He was there at the first Brooklyn show - reminded me of that great early Kraftwerk live clip with Florian on the flute.

hmm they really ran out of bonus tracks on these two

Yeah, that's pretty skimpy, not sure I need Margerine
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Tuesday, 8 October 2019 14:47 (four years ago) link
wow, cupboards must be pretty bare...maybe Stereolab is finally comp'd out

Keep checking back. I got Margarine Eclipse first, but Sound Dust was showing out of stock. Then I went to Bleep and got the non-Obi clear Sound Dust from there. Went back to Duophonic and refreshed a bunch of times and Sound Dust was in stock w/ Obi again.
― brotherlovesdub, Tuesday, 8 October 2019 17:06 (four years ago) link
Sound-Dust extras are minimal yes (the third disc of the vinyl is one-sided with an 'etching' on the reverse, apparently).
Margerine Eclipse looks a bit more tempting though: "The bonus disk includes all the tracks from the release Instant 0 In The Universe and the tour 7”/CD Rose, My Rocket Brain!. Some of these are in unedited versions so longer than on the original release. Including the bonus disk, this reissue contains everything we recorded during the sessions for Margerine Eclipse."
As Marge is the only 'lab album I don't yet have on CD, I'll probably get the new 2CD edition.
― Jeff W, Tuesday, 8 October 2019 18:43 (four years ago) link
Rose, My Rocket Brain! is awesome. Glad to see those tracks collected

I hated Cobra when it came out, couldn't deal with the jazzy skronk of it. This reissue was my first time hearing it since then and I love it. I was blind for so long....
― Cow_Art, Thursday, 17 October 2019 00:57 (four years ago) link
the mix is much more open. I'm glad the old one exists, I love the super compressed mid-heavy sound of it... but this Blue Milk is just nuts
― flappy bird, Thursday, 17 October 2019 01:01 (four years ago) link
so happy I finally got to see em live. Friday in SF was fantastic. Crowd was super enthusiastic and the band seemed in such good spirits!
― KevRus, Saturday, 19 October 2019 17:59 (four years ago) link
Yeah they were amazing. What a band.

Saw them on Wednesday: they were good, but not as good as Sterolad in 2015

Great show tonight at the fillmore, not much to say except I felt lucky to see this band live once again. Whoever their new bassist is, he's got it d-o-w-n.
― the public eating of beans (Sparkle Motion), Sunday, 20 October 2019 08:05 (four years ago) link
He also plays bass in Laetitia's band and in Astrobal.
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Sunday, 20 October 2019 08:07 (four years ago) link
ah! he was a highlight of the show imo. All of them sounded great and the material selection couldn't have pleased me more.

you bet!
!!! spent a tour or three opening for themselves as an all-male Stereolab tribute act, Nic Offer swapping his shorty shorts for shorty pinafores.
Here's a distorted audience video of French Disko in Amsterdam, here's a review of the Seattle show I saw, and here's Offer's essay explaining the influence Stereolab had on him & bandmates in the '90s, that he wanted to pay back two decades later: https://www.thelineofbestfit.com/features/reference-points/stereolab-stereolad-chk-chk-chk

great show last night but I wanted to hear Jenny and no Jenny on the setlist; glad they mixed it up a bit for people who were there the earlier two nights though, I guess. I think this was a more enjoyable show than the last time I saw them, which was whenever the last time they toured through here....I remember that show feeling incomplete, somewhat depressing without Mary.
