we got spirit
July 28th, 2008
Saw Spiritualized at Terminal 5 last night with my sister, and every song was a different shade of epic, ranging from epic huge guitar slow burn song to epic big spiritual rock to epic over-the-top guitar freakout. They played a ton of new stuff, but luckily the new stuff sounded great, and I’m stoked to pick up the new album Songs in A&E…
Reminded me of this amazing video they did for "Do It All Over Again" off Let It Come Down…I couldn’t find hi-rez, but hopefully this is good enough that you get a sense of how cool it is…
Apparently there’s no green-screen involved, it’s all Jason Pierce really doing it…
I hunted down the set list from last night’s show, and then cross-reffed the songs, because I was curious what albums they all came from…looks like they did play a bunch of old stuff (including some Spacemen 3 tracks!), but a lot of new, and a lot from Amazing Grace, which somehow I don’t have (how did I miss it?). We did miss the first 4 songs which is too bad, ‘cuz I’d have liked to hear "Electricity" especially…and looks like only the encore came from Let It Come Down. Set list looks like this:
you lie you cheat
– AE
shine a light
– LazerGuidedMelodies
cheapster
– AmazingGrace
electricity
– Ladies&Gentlemen
soul on fire
– AE
sweet talk
– AE
sitting on fire
– AE
walking with jesus – Spacemen 3
oh baby
– AmazingGrace
rated x
– AmazingGrace
lay back in the sun
– PurePhase
death take your fiddle – AE
she kissed me
– AmazingGrace
come together
– Ladies&Gentlemen
take me to the other side – Spacemen 3
encore: lord can you hear me – LetItComeDown
i was there too! the dirtbombs were great as well.
Damn, we gotta coordinate our shiz when it comes to these shows…I kind of would’ve liked to see Dirtbombs (I think you gave me a song on a mix?), but we having too nice of a dinner to sweat making it to the show on time…I loved their shirt with Morrissey on it…
It was weird getting to the show late, but I thought these guys were rock stars! what kind of rock stars go on at 9?
not their fault if the venue caters to 35-year-olds like me who want to be home by midnight!
the dirtbombs shirt might be my favorite band shirt ever made. it is so random. i love it. should have bought it.
I’m going to see Wilco in two weeks and Andrew Bird opens at 6:30. Instead of coming in late the next day due to a rock show I have to leave work early just to get there in time. Has the world gone topsy-turvy?
this is what it sounds like…when the doves cry.
