Jesus and Mary Chain Mania!

Ah that's what happens when you skim posts - sorry! Totally jealous.

Show in Madison just announced, YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! BOSTON SHOW ANNOUNCED. :DDD

I am only a casual listener, but I feel like the fact they're playing at First Avenue means I have to go. A classic band playing at a classic venue? And I feel like they could play somewhere bigger in town. 25 bucks...

They were complete shit last Thursday at the Fillmore. Big waste of money.

did somebody say something i can't hear it over the sound of my YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY

Tonight! Excited.

Still debating whether I should see them on Saturday. It's not that I don't want to, but I just haven't been feeling that great.

you should

seeing them made me feel better

I probably should.

:)

last reunion show i saw them do was ace

wait TONIGHT?????? WHERE???? ARE THERE STILL TICKETS??????

I missed them at Hopscotch and was SUPER BUMMED

on the plus side you have retained your ability to hear

Dan - yes, tonight! There seem to be tickets still available too :). My friend Kevin adn I are going. There's also a show tomorrow night too.

def can't do tomorrow but could MAAAAAAYBE do tonight? hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Do it!

psychic paramount are opening for them aren't they? even more reason to go.

Missed the DC show. Heard they played for 70 minutes, which for them ain't bad I think.

x-post - Are they good? I was planning on pulling my usual turn up just before the headliner so I don't have to sit through awful opening acts thing. Also, I wanted to go home and nap first. Yes, I am old.

Dan let me know if you decide to come! :)

yeah PP rock

haven't seen em live but I imagine they would kill it.

btw Dan totally forgot but I have an extra ticket already.

PP love their fog machine too it seems (not sure if this is this good or bad)

oh man

really want to go, but I am dead tired

also haven't been home lately

argh

you know, I always thought it was weird (& pretty lame tbh, tho the shows were usually amazing regardless) that I saw them prob eight or nine times b/w 1992-98 & they never once played a single goddam track from Psychocandy - the only thing from that era that made their setlists was 'Some Candy Talking.'

otoh I bet they played the shit out of "Reverence"

really want to go, but I am dead tired

Just drink go go juice.

Set list from show two nights ago: http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/the-jesus-and-mary-chain/2012/union-transfer-philadelphia-pa-13ddb9c1.html

That settles it, I'm going.

oh shi

right?!

I'm not even an early era JAMC person and that looks amazing

that encore is near enough the perfect jamc 123

snakedriver is such a great opening song

um . . . awesome

the encore basically is my life age 16-18

this show was great by the way, was surprised that not everyone there was 40+, is this because of "lost in translation" or.....?

They seem to be one of the 80s bands that have trickled down to millenials in a reverent way as opposed to an omglol80s way.

Jesus & Mary Chain vinyl collection: http://www.myplaydirect.com/jesus-and-mary-chain/

11xLP box set of the studio albums, plus BBC sessions, plus live album, plus fan-selected rarities. £130. Due start of December.

Looks like a nice thing.

Well, I uploaded a nice pic, and voted for "Suck" (b-side of "Never Understand"), would appreciate if you did the same.

Of course, I shall be most agrieved if they use my pic and I have to pay £130 to get the crummy poster!

awww

And Jim took the picture, clearly!

Picked up a bundle of the deluxe expanded editions. Listening to an interview conducted by a disinterested Tommy Vance who sounds incredibly like Alan Partridge.

Janice Long used to get fairly decent interviews out of them.

I mentioned uploading a pic for the poster in the box set, never heard owt from them so I assume it wasn't used

the story in psychocandy about young douglas hart is hilarious. "Hey Jim, that wee toddler's looking for you"
