I’ve had their albums since the 1990s. Seeing them live on stage like this takes my appreciation of them to a whole new level. And now this song, it’s absolutely celestial
One of the greatest live performances I think I have ever seen. I can't imagine how amazing it must have been for the audience to actually be there at Pitchfork in 2014. And, side note. I love the fact that Rachel disappears once her vocal parts are over, but then when we see her again, she's happily filming the audience. I want to thank Gregg Araki for getting me into Slowdive. Obviously, I was very young when they first came out, too young to truly appreciate this genre of music, but thanks to the discovery of Araki's films, and his amazing taste in music, I have gotten the chance to discover this true diamond of a band.
One of the happiest days of my young life was this year when Slowdive not only reunited, but also decided to include this song into their live repertoire. Mind you, they had never performed this song live prior to 2014 (as far as the records show). Good God is this song so utterly breathtaking. This absolutely is my favorite live number of theirs and to me was the show-stopper for this years' tour. I can only hope they expand on this sound and perhaps record another studio album soon!
I watched them play this a few weeks ago. As good as the videos of them doing this live are, they don't even come close to the live experience. Absolutely mind blowing.
good job, this live version gives me goosebumps. it is hypnotic. if you consider yourself a normal girl, are there other slowdive songs i can recommend to you?? im a huge SD fan!
been watching the live performance of this song take shape since spring. I swear its been evolving and "growing". Truly a thing of beauty. Cant wait to experience this in Toronto.
I've lost count of how many times I've watched this over the past year. I keep coming back to it, its so beautiful. Simply magnificent music. They soooo need to record.
After seeing them live in 2014 & seeing this performance, Slowdive is now my #1 performers of all-time! Over Smashing Pumpkins, over Bob Dylan etc. to name a few. This is excellent.
I can't stop either. This song and "When The Sun Hits", I'm so hooked on them!: ) And the way they are all so good musicians is awesome. And that fantastic guitar crescendo!
I've listened this music for many times.Sometimes I feel peace,sometimes I was moved.It's so incredible and it reminds me the true love and friendship.And I miss my best friend so much.Thank you for bringing the amazing music for everyone.
Maybe because like alot of people this awesome band through there great phenomonal sound are able too tap into people emotions and moods and connect with them (: But me its not just that they get me teared eyed but this the very first band I heard besides maybe Pink Floyd that has created a very unique and awesomely powerful yet incrediabley emotional moody ambient or elemental sound or harmonics (: There sooo good at it that there sound captures natures elements or forces and make it sound like there speaking or sing too you (: for example for me it sounded like the ocean was singing too me (: Slowdive really made that vision nto a reality through there perfect ambient sound (: A very great band with awesome great songs even better than lush or any other shoegaze band (: The very best (:
Agree with you, Angel, your description goes to the root, rare find for me..I'm inspired by their sound in a deep way, a way that only PF had managed. Your parallel with the ocean singing to you made me smile .. I dedicate Cowboy Junkie's "Blue Moon" to you!
Davide Garda Thanks (: Slowdives sound too me I never heard anything that sound like that ever not even remotely (: There a great band (: I don't have enough words too describe them (: There that great (:
Because they are so unbearably dull. So unbelievably tedious. Just awful. I was curious to see if it was the same song Syd Barret recorded. They completely butchered what was a truly haunting piece of music. Cry over that.
Just Great: They crushed this with all they have. The video is fabulous with clarity and the setting in Union Park. I'm so glad they performed in the daylight so that you can see just how much effort went into this performance. Beyond Beautiful - Empyrean.
Shadowplaytime Syd was ruined by schizophrenia by then. He just recited, or tried to recite the old Joyce poem. But sounds broken, ruined.:( Horrible disease.
Lean out your window, golden hair I heard you singing in the midnight air My book is closed, I read no more Watching the fire dance, on the floor I've left my book, I've left my room For I heard you singing through the gloom Singing and singing, a merry air Lean out the window, golden hair...
Absolutely stunning. What an incredible group of musicians!

Back after a year now and amazing! Times to times back here. I have to write a post!!! Remember this as first time! Greatest of great! Slowdive you made a hymn!!!
I never thought anyone but Syd could do this song justice. I stand corrected. And they made it their own instead of simply painting by numbers. My entire day has been improved because I took the 8:24 to see if it was THAT golden hair. And it was. Yet it wasn't.
doy gracias de que por lo menos puedo disfrutar de esto a través de una pantalla aun así es mágico, Slowdive es increíble me tele transporta aun en mis momentos más introspectivos.
I found this group later on in life myself. After Ride, My bloody Valentine, Lush, Cocteau Twins, Robin Guthrie and several more. Slow dive is right up there with all these groups if not better.
What a soundddd (: If nature or the ocean had a voice it would sound like this (: Shivers indeed (: This is sooo beautiful there sound (: tears its soo awesome (: Best shoegaze or just pure master sounding band ever (: Masters of Sound (: WOW (:
Jesus that sound (:. God bless (:. I never thought that a band could ever create such a sound with there instruments that is would sound like the ocean speaking too you (:. Iam So Incrediabley Mind Stunned with this group (:. Lol there music lol there talent lol them PERIOD (:
I love how she lefts the stage in order to leave the other musicians be the protagonists of the show, although, in another order of ideas, she probably didn't know what to do the rest of the show on stage... 🤣
2023. One of my top five TH-cam videos of all. Absolute perfection.
James Joyce + Syd Barrett + Slowdive... this is heaven for me
I’ve had their albums since the 1990s. Seeing them live on stage like this takes my appreciation of them to a whole new level. And now this song, it’s absolutely celestial
Saw them last night.a beautiful experience.
The drummer gave everything he ever had in this song!!
I'm glad im not the only one here crying. This is so fucking beautiful. It's all love.
It's all love indeed
are you blue haired girl?
Simon's drumming is sublime. My favorite set that weekend for sure
I've left my body with this song. I love you Slowdive.
Isn't it something? You can believe it all. This song makes me believe in God.
Oh Lorena of five years ago. Where are you now ? Do you still exist ? I hope you do and hope your happy and content.
@@lasmluclasm3781 Yes, I exist and sometimes I am happy and content with this song 🐼 ... haha
@@lorena.stephanie can't forget a friend or a song who was with you in your tough times ehh.

It seems like every time I see them it's as good as this. amazing band
Yikes! You're missing out on some blue-haired girl action, then! That version is vastly superior.
What a coincidence! I only learned about The Doom Generation and Arraki whilst reading about Pygmalion today!
Never heard of this director, what of his films feature Slowdive?
@@cl8804 nope
I saw them live on saturday in Poland and they also closed with this song. I had tears of joy. It's even better live
Same here. Just an absolutely overwhelming experience 🥲
I would say this is the best version of Slowdive's Golden Hair. Superb musical arrangement and quality
I slightly prefer the "Best Kept Secret" version.
Yeah the "Best Kept Secret" version is the best Golden Hair ever.
Blue Hair Girl 💙
How on Earth have I only just discovered this band???

@@there7149 Nice! I like it. There's a bit of Beach House in there too.
You slept in the 90 s.
Listening to too much radio probably
You were too busy gazing at something other than your shoes.
guys...come on...this is truely epic. it blows my mind that slowdive doesnt have more fans.
Michael Gass Now they have plenty!

...and they did!!!!
Saw them live twice and they played this song both times❤
Don’t forget it’s a Syd Barrett song, but Slowdive have made it their own. I think Syd would like it.
I watched them play this a few weeks ago. As good as the videos of them doing this live are, they don't even come close to the live experience. Absolutely mind blowing.
Thanks guys for helping me in coping with my pain, failure, mistakes. This song let it all flows out and makes me think. Thanks Slowdive.
Feel like living in an endless dream while listening to this band
No goosebumps = no human.
You close the eyes,hear the music,breath slowly and loose all anger and pain. Power of Slowdive
This is just astounding piece of music the guitars and that drummer is something else
this band are great to have on a festival lineup, they produce a unique sonic experience for the festival goer and organiser.
probably my 20th time watching this
good job, this live version gives me goosebumps. it is hypnotic. if you consider yourself a normal girl, are there other slowdive songs i can recommend to you?? im a huge SD fan!
always will love them and their songs!
Michael Gass lg ngetes sekillnya di mari jg neh
Michael Gass what's this normal girl thing?
udah enak ternyata juga ada orang indo
I have listened to quite a few of these videos with Golden Hair but this version to me is by far the best one. :)

This is my most favorite version of this song yet. It is just absolutely exquisite.

Probably the most beautiful music ever
I just saw them yesterday at Electric Picnic in Ireland, I have no words to describe it, a dream come true.
Was Amazing 🖤
I drove them Oct of 2014 - some of the nicest people - I hope to meet up with them again...
They sound incredible.
Amazing.
shivers... shivers everywhere
feels... feels everywhere...
just wanted to write that down while i see urs so yea shivers
I'm wearing shorts right now. Both my legs are comepletely covered in goosebumps.
Always come back to this....
Just discovered this band through Spotify. What a cover version!
I saw this live in Melbourne, Australia twice, absolutely chilling!
lucky man
They are back in 🇦🇺🌏 April
Absolutely amazing. My youth, my hopes and what I thought might happen.
gives me chills every time

This is the most spectacular thing I have seen in a long time
Wow they sound incredible live, I would love to see them
That feeling when I listened to this for the first time will never come back. Similar yet not the same.
The sound, the voice, everything, just so perfect, love you guys
Whenever I have to try new headphones I play this video. It mixes pretty well
@thecolorhurts Big agree with you....this song is growing in complexity and styling. Love it so much!
what a brilliant live song.
their strongest live song yet!!
Viva Syd Barrett!
Viva !
And? And, *JAMES JOYCE!*
esta canción es el
Incredible slow build to an amazing sonic crescendo; simply amazing. How on earth this band passed me by in the 90's I'll never know 🤔👍🏻
Because they are an under-the-radar band. Then along came Nirvana's huge shadow.
Same will be said of PJ Harvey aswell
OMG OMG OMG i want to see slowdive live !!!
I love Slowdive, and this is is the only song that would always make me cry. Shine is beautiful, too....
Shine on you Crazy Diamond .. Xx
Just Great: They crushed this with all they have. The video is fabulous with clarity and the setting in Union Park. I'm so glad they performed in the daylight so that you can see just how much effort went into this performance. Beyond Beautiful - Empyrean.
Stendahl Syndrome. This just explodes. Just saw them do this song in Minneapolis. Unbelieveable.
Awesome tribute to Syd...! :-)
+AZROF The first 2 minutes are cover of the Syd song, the rest is 100% Slowdive.
Shadowplaytime Syd was ruined by schizophrenia by then. He just recited, or tried to recite the old Joyce poem. But sounds broken, ruined.:( Horrible disease.
a tribute nevertheless
They still sound amazing!
Lean out your window, golden hair
I heard you singing in the midnight air
My book is closed, I read no more
Watching the fire dance, on the floor
I've left my book, I've left my room
For I heard you singing through the gloom
Singing and singing, a merry air
Lean out the window, golden hair...
Jesus christ.....cant watch this without crying....
OMG ITS SLOWDIVE
Absolutely stunning. What an incredible group of musicians!
Back after a year now and amazing! Times to times back here. I have to write a post!!! Remember this as first time! Greatest of great! Slowdive you made a hymn!!!

You realize that Slowdive recorded their own 'Golden Hair' back in 1991?
Rachel looks amazing. Love that dress. They all look amazing.
im 16 and this is the best band i couldve ever found, found them on insta and now i just love them
doy gracias de que por lo menos puedo disfrutar de esto a través de una pantalla aun así es mágico, Slowdive es increíble me tele transporta aun en mis momentos más introspectivos.
I was there. I was actually just wait to see Kendrick Lamar and get a good space for later that night but actually really enjoyed the performance
I know it's actually breathtaking and sedative
A sonic enchantment! Weeping guitars and ethereal hypnotic sounds! Magic and Joy and, above all, a Goddess named Rachel!!! A living Dream!!!

Probably the most favorite song of mine by the Piper. Thanks... fitting tribute.

There is keyboard as well, which may have been pre recorded. Exceptional either way.
It sounds like celestial music made by the heavens themselves. I’m so in love with this band ❤️

This fills my body with feelings 😭💗
They sound, like... supernaturally good.
That was Fabulous !
Fabulous SOUND TRIP indeed !!! :-)
8 minutes of chills
Thank you Syd Barrett and Slowdive : music from heaven.
I love how she lefts the stage in order to leave the other musicians be the protagonists of the show, although, in another order of ideas, she probably didn't know what to do the rest of the show on stage... 🤣
Blown away

When they start playing this song live you know it’s going to be a difficult time
Best level...blessed return!! Neil Halstead is great.....love him!!
