hey from london, i'll give a full report on the first t

yup

getting stoked

Drink some John Smiths for me. Enjoy the shows.

Screw the John Smiths, go for Adnam's Broadside.

Fuck that shit. Eat the eel pie.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT

The legends are true

BEST LIVE SHOW EVER

vocals were BEAUTIFUL

holy shit when they kicked in with only shallow…THE NOISE so so loud

WHEN YOU SLEEP was so amazing live

30 mins of YOU MADE ME REALIZE so so so fucking loud harsh noise jam and i mean HARSH it makes MERZBOW, MASONNA, WHITEHOUSE all pale in comparison

they were handing out free ear plugs to everyone and begging people to use them, I didnt, i may have paid the price

and yes it is like standing in front on an engine jet

and they did LOSE MY BREATH

2 more shows to go, and yeah if you miss this tour you'll fucking regret it

all the MBV Bootlegs you have are worthless once you see them live


This band is the real fucking deal.

night 2

just as flooring

extended YOU MADE ME REALIZE even longer

and the stories are true, you do start to hear stuff that isnt there during the song…

I just have to say that I'm hating you very much right now.


Had to scrap my trip due to job-loss woes. :(


Was supposed to leave here tomorrow and catch them in Manchester on the 28-29th.


But alas, I have to wait until september and hope to be able to squeeze a Chicago extra out of someone.


Enjoy night 3.

oh shit, sorry dude, did you want a shirt?

Ehh; I'll get to see them in the fall. At least one or two people have extras according to my other thread so I'm not stressing it too much.

The $200 flight cancellation fee stings more than anything else.

A shirt would be awesome, though. Thanks. Hatred = retracted. :)

So I'm listening to the 20th and the vocals do indeed sound beautiful.


"When You Sleep" has a couple of rough spots but that's just me being anal.

God this jam is intense even on headphones.


Being there must've given you an out-of-body experience.

I never experienced anything like it in my life

oh crap, I waited too long on Chicago tickets, still waiting for my gf to figure out if she can go or not…where are you getting yours, azaghal?

Epstein, that's brilliant…how long have the shows been? as in time-wise

90mins

tonights show was fucking flooring

where are you getting yours, azaghal?

Don't have any yet. Bearman posted in my mbv recording thread that he may have an extra or 2 and I pm'd him about it but haven't heard back. Hopefully they're still available; I only need one since I'm pretty sure I'm flying solo if I go.

thanks Epstein…your reviews are very in-depth ;)

I suppose if anyone reads this and needs to sell a couple (preferably, but I'll take one at this point) tickets to the Chicago show, send me a pm…

i'm sure this offer was made with the best intentions, but couldn't this be construed as taunting? :p

I didn't take it like that but then again, that could just be me being naive.

no no, i'm sure epstein was being sympathetic and generous when he made the offer. i was being silly.
