I saw them at Showbox SODO which fits like 2000 people. I was near the front like 20 feet away from the stage. Quite possibly one of the clearest shows I've ever heard, shit made me cry twice.
So true. I saw them supporting Cranes in London when they just released Souvlaki, and started with Machine Gun, guitars swirling like angels singing before the song started. Sent chills through me, bought the album the next day, and still listen to it now I'm 60. Fantastic band.
Wow! This recording definitely rocks! I used to listen and listen and listen this album 30 years ago and I stll feel the same sensations now that I'm 56. I let my son hear this version in the hope it can be given like a wonderful gift.
Brilliant (: Thank you for your gift it made and still making the world better (: Slowdive a band with a true and beautiful sound that comes straight from there hearts and soul (: Utterly Amazing Band (:
Exactly my opinion too. They were great back in the first phase of their career. They're even better now. The years have been kind and lent an extra dimension of maturity and complexity to their music. I also get the impression that they're pretty decent people.
The advantage of better amplifiers, effects equipment et al is like giving a vintage racing driver an even better machine, when they were already getting incredibly good performances from what they were using 30-35yrs ago....
Divine sadness is a beautiful way to describe a lot of their music. I've never heard that phrase before. Thank you for sharing this. "and I want the world to cry"
@@dpclerks09 thanks for your comments. The concept of divine sadness is certainly not new from me, it's been around since long before I have. See if you can do a little bit of a deep dive on the term duende and especially how it relates to both flamenco music and Iberian culture. You may discover some interesting takes and ideas and maybe even music that you will find useful. I hope so anyway... Just be aware that it has fairly distinctive dual meanings; first, the one that we are talking about having to do with deep personal feelings and emotional / philosophical content in art and music. And second: a rather folksy and legendary type of creature, like a cross between maybe a Hobbit and a fairy or even a goblin, that usually lives under your floors or even behind the walls of your house. It takes its cues from the owners behavior, and emotional state, and can basically bless you if you are kind and good, and conversely, can curse you or cause you bad luck if you exhibit bad behavior. Although amusing and maybe even in some ways applicable, this is not really the aspect of duende that I refer to here. I just thought I should mention it as you will no doubt encounter references to it if you explore the duende concept. :-)
It's the 90s and I'm trying to fall asleep, SUPER drunk, crashing at my best friends place, after going to the club. She was a 6'2" model and I may or may not have had a crush on her but....well, this was the soundtrack.
I love them all, but Simon and Nick are the backbone of this band, It went to hell when they weren't there on the 3rd album. I liked Pygmalion.... but yeah, it just wasn't the same. You need all 5 original members or it just isn't Slowdive. Simple as that.

Salut!!
*3. Put on repeat just for a day (at least)
Imagine being in a small club seeing them and 3 guitars playing swelled reverb creating heavenly spaced out sounds.
I’ll be seeing them 9/25/23 in Boston at the Hard Rock Cafe! A small venue like that!!! Can’t wait

Tomorrow, Hamburg
I have. It is indeed something very special.
One of the very, very few songs that makes me cry. So fucking beautiful it hurts.
For me, it’s one of the most beautiful songs ever written. Ethereal, afterlife music. Audible freedom.
The first song i ever heard from Slowdive! Listening to Wxrt late night in Chicago 1991.
Wow! This recording definitely rocks! I used to listen and listen and listen this album 30 years ago and I stll feel the same sensations now that I'm 56. I let my son hear this version in the hope it can be given like a wonderful gift.
Best band ever
Takes me right back to my youth 🥰
Of the 500 bands I've seen in my life, catch the breeze is the greatest live music experience of all of them
plain beautiful. i have no words. this is ethereal. forever.
God that's beautiful! Thank you.)
I was still a teenager when JFAD came out.
Watching this gave me mixed feelings, as in, it made me feel both old and young at the same time.
This is one gorgeous recording 👌🏿
Brilliant (: Thank you for your gift it made and still making the world better (: Slowdive a band with a true and beautiful sound that comes straight from there hearts and soul (: Utterly Amazing Band (:
One word: Stunning!
I'm crying
That's why i love MUSIC
What a tune. Not only do they still got it, they got better with age
Exactly my opinion too. They were great back in the first phase of their career. They're even better now. The years have been kind and lent an extra dimension of maturity and complexity to their music. I also get the impression that they're pretty decent people.
Totally agree. They're getting better with age.
The advantage of better amplifiers, effects equipment et al is like giving a vintage racing driver an even better machine, when they were already getting incredibly good performances from what they were using 30-35yrs ago....
thank you for your music. I love you.
It was watching this video that I confirmed that I'm old, and I'm only in my early 20s lol😅
Divine sadness.
Duende.
Beautiful.

My favourite song
Blowing. Greeting from malaysia.
Fucking awesome!! Their sound is so captivating!
I love it
😦esse som tá demais ainda continua no céu espacial / This sound is amazing, there's still on space sky
They definitely caught the breeze on this one

Gorgeous

Amazing
Summer '91 😎
Would you just listen to that signature sound....yup thought so.
Wow!
❤
2 people don't like this? Really? They should see it live....
Seriously. I've never seen them live, but all these live recordings are better than their albums.
@@Durandal734 Take it easy, cowboy. Calm down.
They're just gormless tw4ts fella, take no notice
Christian loves a Jazzmaster!
Bandita al cubo
she's still beautiful

Simon Scott looks like Brad Pitt now
