My Bloody Valentine

HatePlau, I totally agree with you. If they had played "Sometimes" (and "Lose My Breath" too!), my night would have been complete. Alas.

I didn't see anyone pass out, but there was a guy behind me and to my right who was just fucking CRYING. I can only imagine how high that dude was. But uh, awesome fucking show. And may I say I LOVE LOVE LOVE the shirt I got? Purple with Loveless on the front and My Bloody Valentine on the back. And it's purple. FUCKING PURPLE. And for people who think it was too noisy, you do realize they were handing out earplugs? I listened to a few songs without, but it really did sound a lot better with them.

well the soundboard was to my left and although when i arrived i was just in front of it, over the course of the evening i think we moved up maybe 20 feet. so maybe more than one guy passed out!? the same thing happened to me at black moth super rainbow at the fillmore! some Aesop fan got wayyyy too baked and passed out right in front of me.

rpfile, were you standing just to the front left of the boards? I saw that guy pass out just as MBV were taking the stage. Overall what a great show. I was totally blown away. I only wish they had played 'Sometimes' but oh well, great song selection nonetheless. the YMMR section was insane. the girl next to me didnt have earplugs!

well. i was expecting to not hear the vocals from the recordings i've heard of the recent shows, plus the shitty-ass acoustics at the concourse. i guess i heard a little bit more than i expected to. i hope the guy in front of me that passed out 1 minute before MBV took the stage was able to shake his THC coma and hear the show! 'you made me realise' was incredible. it was like standing inside a jet engine. as the alternapop story says i'm very glad i had "real" earplugs - they were pushed all the way into my brain and yet my ears were still ringing this morning.

i didn't expect spectrum to play any spacemen 3 songs. that made the night much more enjoyable.

I agree with crutonic - Spectrum stole the night for me. But then I'm more Spacemen3 than MBV anyway. As far as visual/sonic assault goes MBV win everytime; i'm just not positive that its much more than 'wow, so loud' - there's not a lot of soul or contrast. But the venue was probably more to blame for my medium night...

I'm so sad because I could not hear the vocals AT ALL.

I'm sorry, but that was the most disappointing show I've seen in a long while. Suzanne Thorpe was not much more than a drone with a little flute over it. Spectrum - well, I've seen jam bands play something more interesting. And MBV? Plenty of volume, but absolutely no clarity whatsoever. To see people say it sounded great is sad - it was a wash of noise and not in a good way. I was front and center about 50' from the front of the stage, so it's not like it shouldn't have been pretty sweet sounding. I guess just turn up everything until people's ears bleed and they'll think you 'rocked'.

slightly to the right of the center front row put us right in front of kevin shields. this was one of the most glorious experiences of my life. I got a picture of the setlist, I put it in the Images section here. they sounded PERFECT.

ok. sonic assault is one thing. but some of their songs don't need to be accompanied by a barrage of lights making with the constant blinky blink. i woulda preferred just the projected images without the spotlights, m'self. mbv definitely delivered their signature sound. at the risk of sounding too 'get off my yard!', it didn't have to be quite so loud, imo. the only thing that changed from the loveless tour in '91/'92 is bilinda's hair's shorter. everyone looked the same! and they rocked it like they did 16 years ago. holocaust lasted from 11:36 pm to 11:56 pm by my watch.

the acoustics were great as long as you were in the front row in front of kevin's amps. so many good songs, you made me realise was ridiculous.
