encore included “congregation” and “monkey” therefore it was a very brad set

They kicked ass tonight and yes, glad they played the two songs Brad mentioned

Seeing them tomorrow night, apparently the last show for this leg of the tour.

your Saturday night just opened up :(

Hey-O! We got it! COVID positive tests coming up in both bands. Shit.

We have to cancel Davenport tonight and Madison tomorrow.

Honestly, surprised the tour lasted this long.

Thank you for masking, y’all.

Wear a mask at shows!!! Please!

Back out in two weeks. 💜💜💜

Oh shit.

I was just looking at their twitter feed, talking about hanging out in Walgreen's getting COVID tests and complaining about people not wearing masks.

Honestly they wouldn't have been happy, no one was going to wear a mask at that show.

at the Toronto show, i was near the front and from what i could see, roughly 2/3 of those around me were masked and those who weren't clearly had a mask with them but was choosing not to put it around their nose/mouth (maybe because they were drinking but some were not and were just choosing to be stupid)

three weeks pass...

Saw them last night, amazing show blah blah. But one thing that struck me was, despite occasional similarity with MBV, sonics-wise, Kevin S uses a wall of Marshalls onstage whereas Alan S appeared to be playing through a single amp of the type you might use for a pub gig (this was a 2000 capacity venue). Like, it literally looked like a Fender Blues Jr from where I was. Of course it was mic-d up and coming through PA speakers but you get the point. On a related note, my partner's one 'feedback for improvement' comment was that it might have been even better at a more MBV-like volume.

Alan on Twitter is a lot of fun. He’s very open and geeks out over guitar tone and nerdy tech stuff. Fellow touring musicians send him pics of their gear loaded in the back of their cars and he reviews how it’s packed.

Cow_Art, Saturday, 30 April 2022 15:56 (one year ago) link

^ agreed, their twitter feed's a blast

StanM, Saturday, 30 April 2022 16:23 (one year ago) link

I saw them at Manchester Cathedral the other night - what a venue! It was amazing but I had quite a miserable time as I had terrible sinusitus. I had a prime spot but was sneezing so much that I had to move to the catacombs as I think everyone around me was freaking out that I might be a Covid superspreader.

He's very dedicated to their Twitter, even liking my Tweet praising the gig. Last time they played he told me what a song was I had enquired about. I hadn't even tagged them in that so he must have been searching for mentions. I wish i could muster as much Twitter enthusiasm / dedication.

stirmonster, Saturday, 30 April 2022 23:50 (one year ago) link

it might have been even better at a more MBV-like volume.

not sure what the volume was there but it was just right for me. i spent decades being in the if it's too loud you're too old camp but last time i saw MBV changed my mind. they were stupidly TOO loud.

stirmonster, Sunday, 1 May 2022 00:03 (one year ago) link

Meh. I had the covids a couple of weeks ago and I'm still coughing too much to go to a show. Oh well.

StanM, Wednesday, 4 May 2022 14:16 (one year ago) link

last time i saw MBV changed my mind. they were stupidly TOO loud.

*sighs, prepares interdict and articles of excommunication* Well perhaps I overreact.

Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 4 May 2022 14:24 (one year ago) link

Pardon? You'll need to speak up........

stirmonster, Wednesday, 4 May 2022 20:49 (one year ago) link

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?

octobeard, Thursday, 5 May 2022 00:26 (one year ago) link

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 !

"Spaghetti" Thompson (Pheeel), Thursday, 5 May 2022 12:44 (one year ago) link

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

that's not my post, Thursday, 5 May 2022 15:11 (one year ago) link

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

"Spaghetti" Thompson (Pheeel), Thursday, 5 May 2022 20:22 (one year ago) link

holy shit that’s wild! Good for D/d

awww no songs from Double Negative? alas

octobeard, Friday, 6 May 2022 05:58 (one year ago) link

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

Vinnie, Friday, 6 May 2022 08:42 (one year ago) link

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

StanM, Friday, 6 May 2022 09:22 (one year ago) link

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

willem, Friday, 6 May 2022 09:36 (one year ago) link

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.

octobeard, Friday, 6 May 2022 20:09 (one year ago) link

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

Nabozo, Saturday, 14 May 2022 09:31 (one year ago) link

four weeks pass...

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.

sloop johnnin' skater (geoffreyess), Saturday, 11 June 2022 22:52 (one year ago) link

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?

Murgatroid, Monday, 15 August 2022 16:16 (one year ago) link

I had no idea.

Josh in Chicago, Monday, 15 August 2022 16:21 (one year ago) link

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.

lord of the rongs (anagram), Monday, 15 August 2022 16:24 (one year ago) link

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

donna rouge, Monday, 15 August 2022 16:28 (one year ago) link

yes, in this post on January 20th:

Low: Classic or classic?

StanM, Monday, 15 August 2022 16:32 (one year ago) link

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

Josh in Chicago, Monday, 15 August 2022 16:38 (one year ago) link

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

that's not my post, Monday, 15 August 2022 16:42 (one year ago) link

Upsetting news. Best wishes to them.

Chris L, Monday, 15 August 2022 16:50 (one year ago) link

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

ufo, Monday, 15 August 2022 16:54 (one year ago) link

Yes <3

broccoli rabe thomas (the table is the table), Monday, 15 August 2022 16:58 (one year ago) link

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.

Ned Raggett, Monday, 15 August 2022 22:19 (one year ago) link

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.

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.

Josh in Chicago, Monday, 12 September 2022 20:14 (one year ago) link

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