Low: Classic or classic?

Too loud sucks, unless it's too loud through sheer acoustic power

Hello from The Chapel,

We're writing to inform you that our show with Low on Tuesday, October 4, 2022 has been rescheduled to Friday, March 31, 2023.

All original tickets will be honored.

Well shit. I wonder what caused this postponement - the band just recovered from covid and is still touring yes?

About the reschedule of fall west US dates:
-We have accepted a very kind offer to do dates with @dcfc durring that time.
-it’s rescheduled later, most tickets still valid.
-Just couldn’t get Vancouver to fit the rerouting, sorry. (Not about Covid.)
-Still w/ @dividedissolve !

Are they doing a 10 min guitar freak-out version of Nothing But Heart?

Not in Hackney, it was the same length as the album version, e.g. about eight or so minutes

holy shit that’s wild! Good for D/d

awww no songs from Double Negative? alas

Uhh look again, octo (though it's not one I would expect)

This array of songs does contain one of those tracks, indeed.

;)
Seems like they played the same set yesterday in Amsterdam. What a fucking amazing show. Divide and Dissolve were awesome, too

Ahhh missed that. Sweet! That was an amazing performance when they played it at Primavera in 2019. Very much looking forward to this show. Perhaps they drop one or two more Double Negative tracks in the encore.

Saw them for the first time. Great concert, great rendition of Hey and others, hearing the album live made me appreciate it anew.

hey, I just walked around the perimeter of Rock the Garden and there's a good & close view of the smaller stage from outside. probably gonna walk back for Low at 7:45.

oh yeah, this was great. five from Hey What, plus No Comprende, Plastic Cup, Canada ("did you ever think we'd still be up here after all this time, doing a clap-along?"). I was under a tree full of wind chimes, they should record an album with that tree. Low shows tend to contain at least one of the coolest things I've ever heard, this time it was the whole second half of Price You Pay.

wait, was it previously announced that Mimi's been fighting cancer?

I had no idea.

I don't think they made an official announcement before, but when they did the live shows from home during lockdown she was sometimes absent from those, so I think people knew something was wrong.

i believe she mentioned it in a radio interview earlier this year - don’t have a source handy but i think it’s linked upthread somewhere

yes, in this post on January 20th:

Low: Classic or classic?

Whenever she was gone, or Alan was doing something else, I just figured she was doing family stuff.

:( unfortunately advanced ovarian cancer doesn't have great long-term prognosis. hope she can beat the odds.

Upsetting news. Best wishes to them.

absolutely dreadful news, best of luck to them, hopefully mimi will successfully recover

Yes <3

It's been some years for me since I saw them last and while I had hoped to see the Double Negative tour that wasn't an option due to some surgery I had around that time. That's small potatoes to this and now my selfish wish to see them again is because I just want her to make it through this.

Have to say I got a little choked up listening to “Don’t Walk Away” tonight— something about it radiates the ‘despite everything i love you more than anything’ vibe that happens with your person. I really hope Mimi is in good hands and has a full recovery.

In Metal = instant tears

:(

Very sorry, y’all. Mim is in a pretty fragile state and it’s just not possible to perform or travel for now. https://t.co/IWwKn6CKRC

Aw, that's bad news. Hopefully she's getting the treatment she needs, even if that's what is keeping her from playing.

They just cancelled the UK and Europe dates in November. Send your positive thoughts and energies Mimi’s way.

RIP Mimi :(

Friends, it’s hard to put the universe into language and into a short message, but

She passed away last night, surrounded by family and love, including yours. Keep her name close and sacred. Share this moment with someone who needs you. Love is indeed the most important thing.

so fucking sad, what a voice

holy shit, so awful. RIP

oh no, that's awful. Knew she was ill, but was hoping for good news.

*shakes head*

I've not the words.

fuck

RIP, this is really sad to hear.

No.

this is heartbreaking. it's pretty hard to put into words what her voice and presence meant. one of the greatest bands of all time full stop.

gutted

Holy shit

So awful, so young. Hard to think of another band that had kept it going with such perfect alchemy, pushing themselves to new heights, for as long as they have been. She was the core ingredient, just angelic in the music so often.

So glad I saw them at Big Ears. This hurts bad

god damn this is sad

so sad, one of my all time favourite singers
