MTV 120 Minutes interview - • Jason Pierce (Spiritua...
Lazer Guided Melodies is one of the greatest albums ever recorded. Simply beautiful.
Amen!!!
Amen. Much love
The best-ever line-up of Spiritualized playing the best songs Jason ever wrote. And the sound of a real band - not just Jason and a load of session cats. Forget everything that came after, even the largely-wonderful 'Ladies...', and step to this. THIS is the shit 🙌
If I'm allowed two records to take with me to a desert island they would be Lazer Guided Melodies and Astral Weeks - the two most beautiful pieces of music I have ever heard.
The glory days, a totally worthy successor to S3. Wish I had seen them live in this period.
@@hairymarx if I had to take one, Perfect Prescription
Agreed. I saw this line-up at Bristol Uni in May of this year, with Verve supporting. Needless to say, it is still, to this day, one of the most sublime gigs I have ever witnessed.
Ya .... For me the Pure Phase album Rocks.. ..out of it all.........
Listening just to the albums I got the sense that Spiritualized is primarily a Jason Pierce project, but I'm really starting to appreciate them as a live band
Spiritualized at their peak! (The most experimental music MTV ever played.)
28 years ago.... I remember sitting in front of the TV that’s Sunday night watching this as it was broadcast....I had heard their studio recordings to this point....but this was absolutely mind blowing! Couldn’t quite believe what I was hearing...had the video on record... so could watch it back.... over and over and over an over! Medication had just been released on 12”.... cool cover, photo looking down on them all in some open top car... all looking wasted. Ahh what a great time for music!
wow, same story here! pure magic... sitting in the dark watching this on tv... it changed my (musical) life!
Early 90s had some incredible music coming out of the UK. Criminally, I took it all for granted, and I was spoilt.
"Shine a Light" is such a ridiculously beautiful song.
r0cknroll4lyfe correct, one of the most beautiful of all time. I want it played at my funeral. And the way it used to go down live, as in this video, was utterly breathtaking
@@canItouch The slow build of that song, the way it's like a boat on the ocean, getting pulled into a storm, a squall, and then eventually coming out the other side...it's a lesson in how to construct musical drama. You could think of it as a kind of short story told in symbolic terms: the calm before the storm, the approach of the storm, the entry into the chaos...and the aftermath, with the lone sax motif emerging at the end, like sunshine after rain. It melts my fucking mind
Just tonight in 2022 I saw spiritualized … for the first time after listening for 25 years. And they were actually BETTER - they were masters of psychedelia. Long live JASON PIERCE!
If I wanted to introduce someone to psychedelia, if I wanted to play them a song that encapsulates the things that psychedelia does at its absolute best; the beauty, the mystery, the clouds of noise, the way it pushes at the edges of conventional rock and roll and takes the most intense, extreme parts and blows them up a thousand feet tall...if I wanted to get all that across in a single song I'd play them the album version of Shine A Light. It's one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever recorded.
A-fuckin-men
Agreed
@leone7227 yep, that is my absolute favorite recorded version. best live version i saw was them opening for siouxsie and the banshees in detroit in '94.
And by the same token, the live version of Shine a Light off of the Royal Albert Hall show/record is the single best reinterpretation of Dark Side of the Moon era Floyd you will find anywhere, and its a live standard for Spiritualized. I mean, I don't know that was really their intention, but it works on the same principle as that aspect of Floyd's appeal, that super chill, just perfect spacey groove driven by the drummers ride cymbal. And here we are seeing just a slice of one era of one of Jason's bands,,,
@@matthewcohen7488 I hope to see a Spacemen 3 reunion soon. Especially since 3 of the members of the band at the time of this MTV performance including J, ex members of Spacemen 3. And it gets more creepy. Listen to Spectrum's (Sonic Boom's band) "Neon Sigh" and Spritualized's "Shine a Light" at the exact same time. Wow! Combining them makes up a song Spacemen 3 would've composed in 1992 if they didnt break up a year earlier. J and Sonic are forever awesome! :)
RIP when virtually anyone in middle america could turn on the tv and hear music like this. even the video mixing here is superb.
Remember how fucking awesome 120 mins. was? Some of the best small private parties I've ever been to.
Now they can just turn on their computer and hear it
@@doltonreading288 Yes, a random person all of a sudden gets enlightened and says: Is not there a band with the name "Spiritualized? I'm going to turn on my computer and check it out."
@@ipiap i mean i got into spiritualized and a lot of other bands long after mtv was promoting cool music. Since, by the time i was getting into music mtv was super lame. So i don't necessarily think that people in so called middle america have less access to far out bands like this.
@@doltonreading288 yes, but you'll never know how different it felt when this was on TEEE VEEE! It felt a bit like the Mogwai album getting to Number 1 in UK album charts last week. Or Jon Snow reporting on the Flaming Lips on Channel 4 News last month.
Best version of Angel Sigh ever
I love this era of Spiritualized with this line-up, Carruthers/Cook on bass. Felt like a real band; later incarnations of Spiritualized felt like Jason and a bunch of session players
I think Spiritualized fell apart after "Ladies and Gentlemen, we are Floating in Space" which became the "J Spacemen band" like you said "Jason and a bunch of session players". I'm a Spacemen 3, early Spiritualized ("Lazer Guided Melodies", "Pure Phase" and "Ladies and Gentlemen we are floating in space") and early Spectrum fan! I would really love for a Spacemen 3 reunion because I feel like J and Sonic should work together again. Listen to the studio version of "Shine a Light" and Spectrum's "Neon Sigh" at the same time because it fits very well and precise which could have easily been a Spacemen 3 song if they didn't break up in 1991.
Carruthers ❤
The best version of Shine A Light ever, that drumming takes it somewhere else.
interesting... what about this one : th-cam.com/video/LgYRHCwi--4/w-d-xo.html
i was convinced this past decade that i dreamt this performance of Angel Sigh up, i guess that's impossible. Amazing.
Back then I assumed this kind of music would just keep getting better and better. But Lazer Guided Melodies was - and still is - the pinnacle of psychedelic space rock.
rollercoaster
enjoy broccoli samurai
+Mr. James Daniel Hey.! what about Ladies and gentlemen, that is an Awesome fuckin' Album, but I do get where Ya comin from Pure Phase, and Lazer Guided Melodies are very Similar and where a lot of the greatest hits Volume's stuff's from...
Peace, Love & Light to Ya'll...
Pretty much correct. Despite the fact that I consider myself a big fan and have seen the band somewhere in the region of 25 times, I don't think there has been a truly brilliant release since LAGWAFIS
Lazer Guided Melodies is my favourite of their albums, but when it comes to space rock, make sure you listen to these few records before handing out prizes for first place:
Space Ritual - Hawkwind
You - Gong
Future Days - Can
Heavier Than A Death In The Family - Les Rallizes Denudes
Crystal Rainbow Pyramid Under The Stars - Acid Mothers Temple
Akuma No Uta - Boris
Mark Refoy's birthday was yesterday (July 3). His guitar playing (Gretsch Country Gentleman, Fender Telecaster) is one of the reasons #FeelSoSad and #LazerGuidedMelodies will always be the greatest #Spiritualized.
Don't forget his contribution to Spacemen 3's last album "Recurring", joining on their last shows before they broke up and even played guitar on Peter Kember's AKA Sonic Boom's first solo album. I absolutely love his playing which influenced me as a guitarist along with J and Sonic.
wow that angel sigh version is way too good
shine a light on this is transcendent, how can human beings produce sound like that
Today is the 25th anniversary of my favorite #Spiritualized album #LazerGuidedMelodies (my favorite album of the 1990s alongside #TheVerve's #StorminHeaven.)
RainyDayMerman You've got some great tastes in music brother.
Their best album for sure!
Two best albums ever.
Spiritualized 1992 first band I ever saw live. Changed my life forever!!
Never underestimate the power of music
Nice taste. My bloody Valentine not in your list?
I love A Storm In Heaven. Used to listen to that and Psychocandy every morning on the bus to college. 'Already There' would let me drift away for the whole journey.
ASIH is the best Verve album imo - everything hangs together perfectly, there are no drops in quality, and no one song is dramatically better or worse than any other.
A Northern Soul has some amazing, classic songs on it, like 'On Your Own' and 'History', but the jammier songs were much less interesting, more dirgey and dull than dreamy, and it was more uneven than ASIH.
And Urban Hymns...isn't really a Verve album. It's solo Ashcroft. The best thing on Urban Hymns(apart from 'Bittersweet Symphony') is the instrumental hidden track - that sounded like something from 'A Man Called Sun'-era Verve.
Later Verve albums have their moments too, but ASIH is the peak for that band imo.
I had taped this vhs
Here we are
Shine A Light is one of those songs that could always go on much longer. Who can get enough of that tune?
Happy Birthday #JasonPierce (November 19). I was lucky to meet him this year after a #Spiritualized show and finally thank him in person for #LazerGuidedMelodies on its 30th anniversary. My favorite of the band's records--their psychedelic peak--and one of my top 5 favorite albums of all time.
❤
This is where I still live in my heart, in 2023...
brilliant!.
an era when mtv not only played music but showcased new,cutting edge music.
spiritualized in this era really were a special band.
best version of angel sigh i've ever heard
Preston 93 Heineken gig, it was free and these blew the marquee and my head apart..acid n moggies...things will never be the same...saw em 6 month ago and fuck me if they weren't just as good...
MEDICATION 😭🙏 god they are so good it brings me to tears
Saw them live during this period. Over indulged... Had a massive whitey so spent the whole show sitting cross legged on the floor... Aaah fond memories 😎
Haha I wonder how many peeps know what a whitey is ?
I had to nurse maid my lightweight mate through a whitey just when Spiritualized came on at Rock City, Nottingham, in 93, after Mercury Rev. Your real name's not Henry Tomkins is it?? 🤔
i saw them in '93 in this line up and blew me away, i don't what happened to them but they lost it after this period
Remember seeing this when it was first televised. Out of this world!🙏🏻
digging the 3 on his guitar. thats so fucking awesome.
Which was suppose to mean "Spacemen 3". I wonder why he kept playing that guitar right after Spacemen broke up?
Minimalistic beauty
Just head my head blown off by this version of MEDICATION. HOLY CHRIST!!!
Thanks for keeping the vcr rolling and sharing your amazing collection with the rest of the world.
Bow Down...
magic
clear light clear rush
It's so fucking pure and beautiful
this was the best line up
Ahhh...1992 a great year for music
best description ive read of these guys is "psychedelic gospel"
@leone7227 narcotic gospel free jazz blues
Beautiful noise. Bliss ❤️
Spiritualized is like gospel music for a stoned rock concert audience. I wouldn't call it "psychedelic" like some folks. To me, it's more like gospel with a farfisa and guitar pedals. And Jason's personal thoughts and tribulations. And I fucking love it.
Amazing. I had recorded this on VHS at the time and it went missing, Jason Pierce is a genius, and I never use that term usually. He's never made a bad record.
I love how it makes you feel like youre hearing things that arent there...vocals that arent there
That saxophone in Angel Sigh!
The only acceptable use of the saxophone in the history of rock and roll.
@selib Why so angry lol
@@thesprawl2361 The saxophone sounds epic on both Spiritualized Lazer Guided Melodies and Verve's Storm in Heaven ("The Sun, The Sea" and "Butterfly").
@@GraveyardPoet I love SIH. 'Already There'...you're taking me back now...
So good. Beautiful and unique. Before J went mad trying to perfect the same song over and over and over again with infinitely diminishing returns.
shine a light has never sounded better
20 years old! Best line-up, best sound. I still love Spiritualized but this was the golden age.
Hail Jason Pierce.
💝💝💝💓💓💓💓🤩🤩❤️❤️😍😍🙏🙏
Spiritualized.....so so so good!
Jason just have magic in his head, he must be the best composer of our time!
My cousin Jonny Mattock is a great inspiration to me now I'm studying Audio Engineering myself having had a Classical background. He's my grandma's sister's boy and I sang for his sister's wedding. I'm a fan of the band and was always immensely proud of seeing his records in Our Price alongside Nevermind by Nirvana. I got people listening to him play on the school bus on this album but I always had to compete to get him on with the Nirvana fans I won, sometimes!
I never got to see The Who in their prime with Moonie, and before the sog set it. But I saw Spiritualized several times between 95 and 03, and I doubt any 'oo performance was any better. Transcendent and rockin' at the same time.
If Heaven's like (that), then THAT'S the place for me!!!!
Best era fur this band really... Post-Spacemen 3-enough
Absolutely Glorious!!!!
I love you Jason
Wow, finally after nearly 20 years i get to see the full session. Thanks so much!
Shine a light on royal albert hall, best ever...
That's a marvelous performance, but the one on FUI is my fave.
this is soooo good. Ive been searching for that version of "smiles" for ages. Had it on vhs years ago.
@olliemorr - your collection of Spiritualized/Spacemen 3 is awesome, im going to have a lot of fun working my way through it. Thank you for the uploads :-)
Thank you for posting this 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤😁
Making videos to take drugs to watch TH-cam videos to take drugs to...or something like that
Cocaine
Amazing drummer....amazing band. Religious drug music. HAL LEE LOU YA YA. For me they never really topped their first album,but its scientifically impossible to do
Is that rosco ?
interesting that Medication was already floating around in 1992
It first came out as a single in 1992. Jason re-worked it for the Pure Phase record.
This is pure class
Thanks for sharing
timeless
wonderful
120 minutes,top programme!
so good
Amazing!
ahhh shine a light gives me instant goosebumps every time
masterpiece!
18.25 - That bass tone blows my mind.
Rupert Parrott hell yeah! willie b.! the white James jameson
@@thekillystabbers8827 That's Sean Cook. Will was gone then.
blast from the past!!!!!? 😎
Thanks for uploading. All those VHS losted....Internet is great.
Holy shit.
Saw them do a 3 set show at Double Door~ Epic
holy guac
@pjktn It's my favourite song in the whole wide world.
Brilliant. Was fortunate to see the band in this original post spacemen format. Up there in my top live concerts list….. subsequent line ups which I went to see never came close. The last time I went pre Covid absolutely awful,with the naff gospel singers and as others pointed out. “Jason and some session musicians “.
thank you!
this is amazing, thank you.
♥ Thank You
120 minutes was the shit !!!!
Thanks for uploading the whole session.
sick
sorry sir this shit is cool
maybe thats what he ment.
Mo Tucker should get an a award (or at least a cup of tea) for this awesome pease of drumming working!!!! I don't know how is in fat least hand over the page or summing to her????. Please somemomebode so momewhere!!!... just fuckin SOMETHINGING TO RECOGNIZE HER BRIWWWLANNCCEE. PEACE AND LOVE XXXXXXXXX
l g m the one album i miss most after the death of my record player
Music reaching the parts other medication can’t reach. Transcendental….
16:38 03.5. Electric Mainline
yes, I heard it too
smiles :D
Back in the USA shirt
Yeah, well... Taking drugs and listening to this also works pretty good.
This Medication is church music.
MTV 120 minutes. It’s what started my love affair with music. I’m lucky to be old otherwise I’d be listening to Taylor Swift right?
i'm listening to both and both are great
Spiritualized, MBV, Nirvana, Pixies, Mercury Rev, Pavement... no wonder my academic results went to shit at this time.
Shine A Light makes me think of some sort of extended version of Donovan's Hurdy Gurdy Man
FOREVERxx
3
I wonder why he kept using that guitar since Spacemen 3 broke up a year earlier?
I'm glad he kept it
Thamks for the upload, best quality i ve seen of this.
Does anyone know if there is more songs in this mtv show? or from this time? Something on dvd or with good quality A/V. Please. I´m looking for a broadcast tv quality show from My bloody Valentine in 2008. I ve seen some footage from fuji rock in Japan.
LSD.
Heroin
Drugs
a non descriptive mind altering substance
would be great if you could upload a DVD somewhere ...
When is the last time you have seen a sax player on MTV; or for that matter, music (excluding the VMA's)?
Frank Zappa lol
What.! 92, I thought they were still Spacemen 3 in 92..?
Nahhh man Spacemen 3 was done by early '91
Spritualized originally came together as Jason's side project for him to tour and make his own music in 1990 but Spacemen 3 were already splintering and was gone in early 91.
