Post by: Epstein on June 20, 2008, 08:41:00 pm: 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.

Post by: azaghal1981 on June 21, 2008, 08:24:00 pm: 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?
Title: Re: hey from london, i'll give a full report on the first t
Post by: azaghal1981 on June 21, 2008, 09:36:00 pm: 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. :)

Post by: azaghal1981 on June 22, 2008, 12:26:00 am: 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.

Post by: azaghal1981 on June 22, 2008, 01:39:00 am: God this jam is intense even on headphones.

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

Post by: Samantha on June 22, 2008, 04:23:00 pm: 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

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.

Post by: Samantha on June 23, 2008, 03:13:00 pm: 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
Title: Re: hey from london, i'll give a full report on the first t
Post by: azaghal1981 on June 23, 2008, 03:45:00 pm: I didn't take it like that but then again, that could just be me being naive.
Title: Re: hey from london, i'll give a full report on the first t
Post by: sweetcell on June 23, 2008, 03:56:00 pm: no no, i'm sure epstein was being sympathetic and generous when he made the offer. i was being silly.

Post by: Frank Gallagher on June 24, 2008, 10:04:00 am: OKAY OKAY...I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE

Who the hell is MBV?

And can we please agree to spell out the full name of the band in the first posting then abbreviate it after that.

Thank you!

*edit* My Bloody Valentine perhaps?
