Apologies in advance. Sorry! Just like their debut US show in DC, I once again had a bumpy beginning. I started filming as soon as "Prelude To Ecstasy" came on. I wanted to begin & end the show with a shot of the cherub flying above us as it seemed like another sign from the universe. Somehow, after just 2 seconds, while attempting to zoom in on the cherub, I must have hit the stop button and I didn't realize that until the band started playing "Burn Alive". I missed the first 2-3 notes and recovered in time to start filming again before the vocals started. Yes, you are correct. I am an eejit.
But. Just like DC, my focus was on experiencing the show, so please forgive me for screwing up the intro. My energy level of nervous excitement about seeing the band again just a few days after seeing their debut US show was somehow even higher this second time around! Maybe because I knew that they were about to kick the crap out of me and another audience. Imagine, if you had to fight Mike Tyson a second time; you think you're ready, you think you're prepared, but deep down inside, you know you're getting 'knocked the f**k out!" after he hits you with that first punch!
Plus, during Mother Mary's opening set, I saw TLDP come out onto the balcony* and start walking towards us. I was fairly certain they settled down directly behind where we were standing. And then, when I heard a quiet, small fragment of chit chat in a British accent, I started freaking out a little. It took every ounce of energy I could muster, to dig deep down inside myself, to find what little decency I may have left, to stop myself from turning around to "welcome them" and "thank them for coming" to the US; to thank them again, for how much joy they've brought me. Essentially, as you're already realizing, to not be a selfish and most likely, babbling fool. I didn't want to risk creating a disrespectful distraction to Mother Mary's performance and I didn't want to also disrespectfully interrupt TLDP from experiencing the show. I'm sure the days of them walking around undisturbed are quickly disappearing.
Anyways. I filmed in 4K this time. We were able to get a similar spot here as in DC; balcony level, above and to the right of the mix board, slightly left of stage and below the flying cherub.
(*Similar scenario played out when we saw them in DC. There too, I decided not to disturb the band.) - เพลง

they have two of the best drummers drumming for them...incredible drummers rebeckah and the argentine girl whose name i forget without looking it up
That would be Dai: youtube.com/@daianaazar?si=M8QKfGikCjCuChKE
And yeah, she is a bad ass too!
This shit if fucking REAL!!
Yes. Yes it is!
Thanks for posting, will be checking them out when they come back to town, hopefully somewhere with a slightly bigger stage lol
You're welcome!
And yeah, a bigger stage would definitely be welcomed👹
The irony of them is they specialize in a form of Britpop that America roundly ignored 30 years ago. But, you know, you've always spent a lot of time catching up. We will let you know when you've got there.
Brit pop my-Arse...🇬🇧
Ironic that your use of irony is no better than a 30 year old pop song. Don’t ya think?
We didn't ignore it the first time, though - 50 years ago.
This is Johnny Brenda's...a dive bar, so relax and sit down
Thanks for posting.
What a great gig!
This show was fantastic and so much fun!
And now Philly! Wow, thanks!
No problem! I was happy (&lucky) to be able do it.
Wow, that's a tiny stage! But you're almost close enough to touch them. Thanks for another great upload! I've seen all five American concerts now!
Very nice! And yeah, this place was very "cozy", haha! Similar set up as 9:30 & The Atlantis, but much smaller. And the sound system was a little "challenging".
Did you see L.A. and Chicago in person? Or if on vid, somewhere on YT? Was at the NY show, and thanks to sahwin for D.C. and Philly. Want to see the other two!
@@HermanChinNY no, just online, and only bits of LA so far.
@@sah-win Ha ha, "challenging" is the kindest way to put it!
I've been looking for the full shows of LA or Chicago too. I've only seen a few songs and/or clips of songs so far. Hopefully someone captured them and will upload soon!
Mirror is superb. I've honestly yet to see a live performance where they haven't given heart and blood and liver and soul. What a gift of a band. When do we get Second Best on an EP? Asking for everyone
If they follow recent trends, they might be releasing an “extended” or “special” edition of PTE in a couple more months. With artists getting screwed from streaming, they’re trying to figure out how to make money from physical media formats.
And, I’m with you, I want that along with Godzilla & Big Dog asap.
When you get multiple age groups at your gig, you know you have something special .....
Go Emily!!!!!
Another brilliant and entertaining gig. Thanks for uploading! Abigail surely has a future career ahead of her as a panellist on Never Mind the Buzzcocks!
I just got my ticket for the Liverpool Q&A at Jacaranda on 10 December so will upload highlights to my channel if I can. 😀
Congrats on securing those tickets. I'm sinfully jealous of yous over there! I'll be watching your channel in the hopes you'll be able to capture it.
Sadly, it was just a quick meet & greet but the band were all super-friendly! They confirmed that the walk-on music is Prelude to Ecstasy and that another UK tour next year is currently being finalised. I suggested a warm-up gig in Cornwall (as Alan says no-one ever plays there). Abigail & Georgia liked this idea, so you never know! St. Ives is lovely!
@@LiveInConcertUK Pretty cool, thanks for the recap!
did you happen to film more of the end? georgia gave me her set list at the end of the show and i was wondering if you perhaps caught more of the end then what was uploaded here? nonetheless thank you for capturing this awesome concert!
Yeah, I'm pretty sure I have that as I know I had to cut off the end pretty quickly once their outro music started playing due to copyright issues. I've been having some "technical difficulties" lately. Once I figure that out, I'll see if I can add that part for you.
@@sah-winawesome!! i’ll even take it without the sound if that’s easier🤷🏼♀️
@@emmavolle5975 I think I have up. I don't understand it, but for some reason it didn't flag for copyright as a short clip. This should be a link to it:
th-cam.com/video/xT9Ssiffy1g/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Je3KwOY0Lmt5VZ7K
Let me know if that doesn't work and I'll try to fix it.
@@sah-winit worked! thank you so much!!
They sound a lot like Kate Bush so let’s see if America will embrace them. I also hear some Darkness, Queen, and Led Zeppelin.
Yes, it's all in there, along with many other bands/artists!
Justin Hawkins of The Darkness gave them a very positive review on his podcast. The return of the guitar solo!
Justin's channel, "Justin Hawkins Rides Again www.youtube.com/@JustinHawkinsRidesAgain ", is the best thing on TH-cam!
To me, it sounds like Kate Bush singing David Bowie songs. Which isn't a bad thing at all.
love it or hate it but there's def some Swedish Pop in there. Some of the songwriting, specifically Feminie Urge, has some serious ninja skills in the songwriting sense. Max Martin anyone?
I should have added, the link below is to an audio of their cover of Sinead O'connor's Mandinka. It's really rather good.
I loved hearing this! Apple Music has the audio & video for it, but unfortunately, the video part is not available in the US. Hopefully we'll get it soon.
@@sah-win Did you see they've just won The Brits Rising Star award. The Brits are a big thing over here. The equivalent of your Emmy's
@@alanadams7071 Yes! I just saw it on their YT channel. Admittedly, I don’t know much about The Brits. I looked up an article and it is very impressive. Especially when looking at the list of previous winners & nominees.
And, just in case you hadn’t seen, Sir Elton John (!!!) had them on his Rocket Hour podcast a few days ago. (I’d post a link, but they always get deleted by the mods.) I’m still in awe of that. Elton John!
@sah-win I've seen it on the Facebook group The Last Dinner Partiers. Not much gets past them. That's where I got the Mandinka link.
@@alanadams7071 I don’t always like the names fans have, but that one’s not too shabby.
Did you get to see the two NY shows as you planned? How did it compare to the two Autumn shows.? The venues weren't as intimate but I'm guessing there was also a different type of audience too.
Yeah, I made it to both, but barely. I had a horrible Monday night and almost didn’t go. I got some vid from each that I’m trying to put up, but the one keeps getting flagged. And I didn’t get the full set from the first show unfortunately.
The band was great! The drummer for both shows was Dai Azar and she is fierce & thunderous; a real “heavy hitter”! I love watching drummers and she was fantastic. A few kinks here & there, but that’s expected considering I think she just started playing with them. That also could be why the band played slightly shorter sets each night? We got Second Best & Godzilla at the first show. They did Big Dog at the second.
The audience was very enthusiastic. Lots of dressing up & singing! You can tell the fandom is getting much more dedicated. Those shows last Oct & Nov seem to have more people there to “see what the buzz was about”. These two shows were filled with full on fans.
So glad you were well enough to go in he end. Would have been a massive bummer to miss out. Seeing them in October in Liverpool. Can't wait. Looking forward to seeing your videos if you manage to upload them. Presume you had a decent spot then.
Yeah I really like the drummer too. She's a very talented lady. In addition to being a multi instrumentalist and music writer, she produces too. There's a TH-cam clip (think it's the NY gig) of Abigail applauding her at the end of Godzilla. There's also a really cool TH-cam video of your favourite, Burn Alive, I think from the Boston gig. It was uploaded by her drumstick sponsors. Just search Daiana Azar TLDP and you should find it.
Yeah it looks like their music is starting to find it's intended target. Actually made up for the band, you can see they're having an absolute ball. @@sah-win
@@alanadams7071 Liverpool in October! Nice, I'm really happy for you! It will be wonderful I'm sure.
The 1st show is loading, but YT keeps blocking Nothing Matters from the Brooklyn show for some reason. That first show at Webster Hall, I only recorded the opening 3 songs unfortunately, as I was having a really bad day and just couldn't continue filming. Both of my recordings are kind of a mess actually; bad audio & video on the first show and bad video on the 2nd. Plus, I might have to cut out NM from that 2nd show as so far, that's the only way I've been able to get it accepted. I'm trying again now. If it still gets blocked I'm going to try appealing it. There's fan recordings of that song all over YT and I can't understand why YT is blocking it on mine.
I started watching some of Dai's vids when we got back from NY as she was very impressive. I haven't seen that Burn Alive yet, but I'll definitely check it out tomorrow. And, yeah, the Godzilla clip was from the first NY show at Webster Hall. I'm really glad someone got it as it was incredible!
They've just released one of MLOM from the same show too.
There's a guy who posts under the name Tunes Chino and has posted all 3 NY shows. You''ve most likely come across them. if you go onto his homepage he has 2 excellent Playlists. One of TLDP covers and one of TLDP interviews, some of which have really good acoustic sessions. Check them out; there might be some stuff you haven't seen yet including a recent cover of Sparks and A lizzie inspired version of a 60s song, Up North@@sah-win
@@alanadams7071 I’m so glad he got them recorded. Especially that 1st one since I only did a partial. I just took a quick look to save to my Watch Later and somehow we were in almost the same exact spot for both shows. Funny how that happened.
I don’t think I’ve seen that Lizzie 60s one yet so I’ll definitely check that out. Do you have a link to MLOM as I didn’t see that when I searched?
They're like Wet Leg in being girl-centric and in having good material.
But totally unlike them in having a super-professional sound, songs, and image. WL's appeal is that they're like The Band Next Door, if The Band Next Door were cute, funny, and very British. You could imagine lending Wet Leg's drummer a wrench set to fix their hunk-a-junk van, then having them invite you over to hear a shambolic rehearsal at which half the band had smoked way too much pot. That is much harder to imagine for Last Dinner Party, who are more like some good mid-level Seventies act who stepped through a time machine.
We like this judge but US voters can abolish the SEC, IRS, Federal Reserve by voting Libertarian Lars Mapstead for President representing 52 year old Libertarian Party like Argentina voted for. .
Yay - economic, geo-political, environmental and societal suicide -bring it on 🤡
You're lost in more ways than one.
