1997 BBC Session by Stereolab (Part 1)

[@TheMisterEscargot]

This version of Brakhage is insane, I can't stop coming back to it

[@이비성-r4p]

5:49 The Flower Called Nowhere

[@danielyahalom3961]

there is something beautiful about hearing stereolab in a live session with this much noise.

[@dennistokarsky1176]

I'm forming a Stereolab cover band here in Vancouver. Need one more female vocals who can also play guitar/synth. Don't live here? Move!!

[@SaraBiderman]

honestly down

[@artsalsa7981]

amazing idea, good luck!

[@davidowle3772]

So... did this happen?

[@dennistokarsky1176]

@@davidowle3772 Alas, the woman who was going to sing lead could not commit. My French friend moved to Montreal so...she was out too.

[@rmc2066]

Wish I could. I’ve done Laeticia Sadier impressions in my car for years lol

[@jessepinkmansimp6090]

holy moly that live version of the flower called nowhere just hit different they need to make more live versions

[@hongdekong]

It's amazing how much attention to detail goes into their live performances. I love that they take along all the little intro moments of the songs into their live performances

[@juju5568]

John Peel sessions were the best way of hearing new bands. Something that he did for his own life and help establish unsigned bands be noticed in their career.

[@anissasashabilla1486]

omg thank uuu.. i've been looking for The Flower Called Nowhere live version

[@gabagoolenjoyer]

Reminds me of future days

[@myboythom]

You mean can?

[@gabagoolenjoyer]

@@myboythom I mean future days specifically.

[@davidw9736]

What a tune!

[@FredsKaraokeVault]

This was the absolute apex of music that year. 😥

[@yeaaight]

i would sacrifice so much for this song live

[@gehegedrei]

Wow (and flutter...). 1000 Dank!!!

[@mconzelmann]

I need a copy of this beautiful performance on cassette.

[@Rocket_scientist_88]

My fave version of "A Flower Called Nowhere". The Farfisa organ should have made it to the final version... Well done, Ms. Lhote (wherever you are). :)

[@threedeemelodies]

she works under the alias hologram teen now!

[@danabrahams7892]

You are just talking about another level of quality when it comes to Stereolab...

[@californiahummus]

love the cassette player Stereolab is to cassettes as Tangerine Dream is to 8-traks.

[@Sleepysidney]

First time I've heard this session. Stereolab was no joke!

[@michaelbrady363]

stereolab is wonderfull,

[@JA-ld3it]

We need that version of the flower called nowhere in HD

[@vaspers]

so very nice to hear the Stereolab BBC sessions in high fidelity

[@agasyahkarim8191]

It's a shame this particular session wasn't included on the ABC Music compilation. Or perhaps we will see another volume that covers the '97 - '09 era? Fingers crossed.

[@AleixPitarch]

this is gold

Fantastic! I think I remember listening to this :)

[@pavement422]

Awesome

[@beepst]

Solid playing.

[@inactiveaccount29]

thank you so much for this!

[@MyNameIsNeutron]

I like how Mary doesn't just play her solo how it is on the album, note for note, but switches it up a little.

[@theronscool]

so nice

[@john_Reilly2027]

Some of this is on a a limited edition 9inch peel session. There's another great band called th faith healers on the other side

[@Johnnyversetti1]

Ahh old comment but where can I get that?

[@briskpace1645]

it's a 10inch too pure peel sessions compilation, also has pj harvey,think it sells for about £10 online, comes with cool handmade cover art !

[@Rocket_scientist_88]

I've got that CD somewhere around here, it was commercially released as well. I'll post the release info if I find it.

[@jmahon17]

Thank you

[@karlzong7375]

this is extremely amazing thanks so so so much!!!

[@TheCarsThatAteParis]

@josephkeli No idea if it's available. This was taken from the radio when first broadcast.

[@hellcathellcat9131]

love love love thank you

[@FatherofMan25]

@Fluorescences no doubt! i cant believe this is the only live perf of that song on youtube

[@timnagle8601]

[@benanderson5906]

Man that Flower Called Nowhere is amazing. Are there any other versions of this recording out there??

[@synthmalicious7541]

Is their any other version of Flower Called Nowhere out there?

[@tneti]

Brakhage

[@harrysong2386]

genial! no habia escuchado esto, intente buscarlo para descargar pero no encontre por ningun lado, me podrias enviar un link de descarga?

[@federicodominguez6222]

Harry estoy "restaurando" el audio de cada canción para luego compartirlo ya que al parecer no hay una versión oficial. Hay un grupo de fans de la banda en facebook, únete seguro lo voy a publicar ahí.

[@howardbutler5220]

dope

[@travlips]

Wow man like total VIN-TAGE! Radical. Good find. Want to swap cassette deck headcleaner fluid?

[@jordotech_tube]

holy crappppppppp!!!! so happy you this is really here, thanks

[@stuharris8948]

[@TheYoungSuccess]

Bliss

[@Souvlaki93]

ha great )

[@fungifever]

Felt like i found the one piece

[@josephkeli]

How'd you get this? Its beautiful. Is it available ANY where?

[@regularchickens]

Brakhage always seems to get a bit out of sync live

[@ThePrinceChet]

they suck live lol I'm still appreciative of this

[@stevecarter8810]

How can you even partially think this? Cite your sources!

[@Rocket_scientist_88]

Chet Atlas I agree with Steve Carter. I've seen them live twice and they were incredible... shook Tim's hand when they were here in New Orleans - one of the best shows I saw in the 90s. I sure do miss them.

[@hongdekong]

This video can function as a source, right? It obviously proves they were great live!! Maybe the vocals are a bit shaky ...

[@beepst]

Are you deaf? This performance was so damn consistent.

[@josephmartin8169]

Spoken like someone who has never encountered them live. When I saw Stereolab open for Sonic Youth in 2001, they blew their headliners off the stage (and this is coming from a massive SY fan). This recording - which is pretty great, honestly - doesn't capture how all-consuming their live presence is/was. The band's intense, stereophonic performance of "Blue Milk" still remains a flashpoint in my musical life.
