anyone go to meltdown last night?
― koogs, Friday, 22 June 2007 15:54 (sixteen years ago) link
it's tonight:

― StanM, Friday, 22 June 2007 15:59 (sixteen years ago) link
(that's in about two and a half hours, if my time zone guess is right)
and that's only the support band (The Pastels) - if you're anywhere near London, you can still get there (if it isn't sold out)
― StanM, Friday, 22 June 2007 16:00 (sixteen years ago) link
ITV really ought to stage a Saturday night special named Jesus And Mary Chain Mania, compered by Zoe Ball.
― Marcello Carlin, Friday, 22 June 2007 16:02 (sixteen years ago) link
FYI, London people who could still get there: on stage time according to a fan site: Pastels 7:30-8:10 JAMC 8:30 (3 hours and a half to go)
― StanM, Friday, 22 June 2007 16:03 (sixteen years ago) link
LOLZ! Thanks v much Stan, I am now going tonight :D
I had to - the Pastels are supporting!
― Colonel Poo, Friday, 22 June 2007 16:06 (sixteen years ago) link
(oh no, if they suck it'll be my fault now)
― StanM, Friday, 22 June 2007 16:08 (sixteen years ago) link
I will hold you personally responsible.

*hides*
― StanM, Friday, 22 June 2007 16:38 (sixteen years ago) link
It is well sold out, BTW.
― PJ Miller, Friday, 22 June 2007 16:49 (sixteen years ago) link
It is well not sold out.
― Colonel Poo, Friday, 22 June 2007 16:50 (sixteen years ago) link
what happened to the 1990s support slot?
that said, pastels + mary chain = my dream bill albeit 15 years too late (and £20 too expensive)
also, main act on at 8:30?
(d'oh on the date)
― koogs, Friday, 22 June 2007 17:13 (sixteen years ago) link
1990s are playing AFTER the JAMC according to the discussion on this fan forum:

OK, there were no tickets available via the RFH website last week and tickets going for big(ger) money on eBay, so I assumed it was sold out. My apologies.
Anyway, who will Report Back?
Only 15 years, Koogs?

i saw two of the encores- 'vegetable man' and 'you trip me up'. sounded great. band looked miserable.

Did they play "April Skies"???
― Spencer Chow, Saturday, 23 June 2007 11:50 (sixteen years ago) link
No April Skies, I'm afraid. Setlist was something like this:
Never Understand Head On Far Gone and Out Sidewalking Snakedriver Catchfire Happy When It Rains Dead End Kids* (old Freeheat/Jim solo song) Some Candy Talking Between Planets Blues From a Gun Cracking Up All Things Must Pass Teenage Lust Just Like Honey ----------------- Reverence Vegetable Man You Trip Me Up
*Not sure when this was played in the set - am fairly sure it was around this point
Mystery lady (definitely not Scarlett Johanson) on Just Like Honey. I was right up in the balcony so I had no idea who.
― Bocken Social Scene, Saturday, 23 June 2007 12:09 (sixteen years ago) link
it was Nina Persson from the Cardigans - more here: http://sct.amniisia.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=3078
― StanM, Saturday, 23 June 2007 12:10 (sixteen years ago) link
Pastels sound was a little muddy at first, but they played Nothing To Be Done so I was happy. JAMC did look a bit miserable, but well that's to be expected! No storming offstage like last time I saw them.
― Colonel Poo, Saturday, 23 June 2007 15:33 (sixteen years ago) link
Catchfire
omfg this is probably one of my all-time favorite songs
― HI DERE, Saturday, 23 June 2007 15:43 (sixteen years ago) link
Nina gets around (isn't she on the new manics single?)
> Pastels sound was a little muddy at first
no change there then 8)
> Only 15 years, Koogs?
that'd be 1992, the almost gold lp, so yes. although anytime before then would also be fine, obv. after that it's touch and go. actually, '92 is a bit late for the pastels, is their jad fair period, when stephen seemed to stop singing. did see them a couple of times then and a couple more after (both supporting b&s, new york and camber sands) and kinda enjoyed them both times. but, yes, again, earlier would be better better.

I'm now being told it was the girl from the Duke Spirit, which makes more sense of what I saw and heard onstage.
They're playing Brixton Academy on September 7th.
― Bocken Social Scene, Monday, 25 June 2007 11:16 (sixteen years ago) link
Who, the Duke Spirit or the JAMC?
― Masonic Boom, Monday, 25 June 2007 11:16 (sixteen years ago) link
JAMC. Must start posting more coherently.
To make up for it, here's a link (that will inevitably not work..)

£25! Plus £5 service charge! Ouch!
But I suppose I'm a grownup now. I better suck up.
― Masonic Boom, Monday, 25 June 2007 11:29 (sixteen years ago) link
LOL oh well I'd rather have seen them at Brixton Academy than at silly seated festival hall, although it was good. Maybe I can take Mrs Poo to this and see them again. She wasn't in the mood to go out on Friday.
― Colonel Poo, Monday, 25 June 2007 11:32 (sixteen years ago) link
I thought about buying seated upstairs tickets. But then I snapped out of it!
The best thing is, this is like 10 minutes from my house! Hurrah!
― Masonic Boom, Monday, 25 June 2007 11:33 (sixteen years ago) link
We went to see the Ramones, at Brixton Academy, back in.
Upstairs seated was all that was left. Better than nothing, obv, for that one. Their last UK gig ever.
― Mark G, Monday, 25 June 2007 11:36 (sixteen years ago) link
But no. Apart from bands who are going to split up and/or die, never do that.
