I'm probably the oldest person to watch this video. When I grew up in the 1960s I alway imagined a kind of music that sounded like this would exist in the future, and decades later the music scene evolved and Slowdive emerged. Pretty interesting. Glad it happened.

[@awolsurf-TC]

Well I grew up in the 1920s...When I heard this video was coming out I had to 23 skidoo from my flagpole sitting contest. A-cha cha cha!

Slowdive is one of the only bands from late 80's and early 90's still making new music as good as they made 35 years ago. This band's legacy has been a long gradual climb to legendary status.

[@MrEziix]

[@mjbachman3027]

Slowdive fan since 1991, when I was 38 years old.

[@davidspratt2001]

Whoever mixed this deserves a medal! On many Slowdive live recordings, the vocals are too far back in the mix I find. This is perfect!

[@stumacaulay7448]

Thanks!

[@gastonayusa]

Yeah, it's called Shoegaze.

[@Scullbergo]

The Vocals are supposed to buried and dripping in reverb and delay

[@The_RedVIII]

Honestly, this is actually the one thing I don't like about this mix here. The vocals should not stick out in Shoegaze in my opinion, the should blend in with the other instruments. So I wish they would be a tight bit lower. That being said, they are also not like mixed totally in the front, so it's not that bad.

[@JMG72ARG]

Nice to see a band of my generation fighting back. Their new album is awesome!

[@gradoca]

Probably the best live of Slowdive ever recorded. Congratulations.

[@awolsurf-TC]

Now hold on! I see a few of these comments...and fair enough. But have you ever seen the Garage performace from 2017? I personally would put that as their best current live concert in both sound and visuals. This one is good but the vocals suffer at times. It is shot very very well though.

[@gradoca]

@@awolsurf-TC I agree there are so many good records. I have been in some concerts of them and the experience is uncomparaisable. Probably the most 1:1 performance I have ever listened. If not, by far the best shanty's sound quality...

[@EnzoMastrangeloMusic]

I preffer the kexp live... this one has too much compression

[@awolsurf-TC]

@@EnzoMastrangeloMusic yup! Another great performance

[@Romany1111]

@@EnzoMastrangeloMusic KEXP does a fantastic job, both visual and aural. Artists love to plat there as well.

[@neilwhitaker6284]

I didn't realize how good their drummer was. Usually I was focused on the guitars. And the bassist really drives it and does well to hold the tune together so the guitars can kind of go off on their dreamy tangents.

[@Grondhammar]

Simon and Nick are superb musicians. They're technically world-class, and give their all in performances. But even more important, they tether the Rachel/Niel/Christian clouds to the ground, without nailing them to the floor. Glad to see others appreciate their artistry.

[@chrisb6296]

Understated but solid

[@vijaip]

When you experience it live, you truly understand how solid they are. The bass is out front in the mix.

[@GShaw197]

This is just so perfectly recorded and shot. Thanks for capturing Slowdive live in 2024 - they are a very special thing.

[@mikefaulhaber]

This was an especially intimate performance. Thank you for sharing it with us. Like many others viewing and commenting on this video, I was fortunate to see them perform recently (in January). After many, many years of waiting and watching countless videos of their live shows since the '90s, they managed to exceed my already stratospheric expectations. Oh, how lucky we all are to have Slowdive.

[@new_memeplex]

NME and Melody Maker are long defunct and Slowdive get millions of views for their new songs, which are BANGERS. Success truly is the best revenge.

In a parallel universe they are as big as Coldplay and Radiohead. I think you can blame the record company too tho - why wasn't "when the sun hits" a single?

[@jdjphotographynl]

I wonder how the people from NME and Melody Maker that wrote those destructive articles about Slowdive (or any band for that matter) could sleep at night. But okay, Slowdive have definitely gotten the last laugh.

[@ChrisEchoes]

Kudos to whoever did the lighting and directed this video. They totally got what Slowdive is all about and captured lots of things I have never seen in any other Slowdive live videos.

[@gradoca]

Probably the best live of Slowdive ever recorded.

[@MarkB-SnowyMtn]

First video where I can see what Christian is actually doing. I have been massively inspired by Neil's playing & tone. In fact I bought one of my (many) guitars due to Neil's Epiphone. However, I have always felt that Christian adds an unsung vital texture. Here I can see how he is doing it. My challenge is how to get the flavor of both Neil's & Christian's guitars out of my one guitar in our band. Hopeless, I know, but I do get part way there :) This my favorite Slowdive live video ever. Great work!

[@awolsurf-TC]

​@@MarkB-SnowyMtn Christian is great...and yes, sometimes his guitar gets hidden or obscured in the filming. I bought (a few, haha) Jazzmasters based in part on his playing style. I am a lefty too, LOL

[@kevinparkernde]

Same. I blame Canadian radio where I live for only promoting Banger Rock and roll from 40 years ago or new pop. I do what I can by blasting bands like this to all the general public in the area at skateparks I travel to. This most definitely will educate the little kids and parents further into real music out there if you look for it. 👉🏼🎶🩷👈🏼

@@kevinparkernde you didn't live in Toronto in the late 80s and early 90s I take it? It put a smile on my face we had a pretty good radio station at the time called CFNY which had some great DJs in the evenings playing all sorts of "alternative" music.

I can't remember how i discovered Slowdive back in 1991. I knew The Cure & Cocteau Twins b/c our country's music channel played their videos. Noisier Shoegazer bands like Jesus & Mary Chain & My Bloody Valentine were introduced to me by Sonic Youth & Lou Reed who hyped them. I discovered Lush during Lollapalooza 92, but Slowdive is a still a mystery. Maybe a blind buy ?
