Thievery Corporation performing "Lebanese Blonde" on KCRW

Rob Garza and Eric Hilton, the men behind the electronic mystique of Thievery Corporation, return to KCRW studios to perform new work and maybe a classic or two on Morning Becomes Eclectic. Watch / Listen to full session here: www.kcrw.com/mu...

It's one thing to hear a track like this on an album, but to see it performed takes it to a new level.

[@Blakearmin]

Yeah that eyeliner mustache threw me through a loop, too.

[@indiearteaga]

Omg yes

[@Lemurian.Quartz]

Blake Armin yes that also ruined the song completely for me

[@randolphmorgan3481]

You're on tour right now in Colorado and San Francisco

@@pearly872 High quality hashish. The best comes from Turkey. :)

[@sgtbaker2072]

Thievery Corp is so fuckin legit. Some of the most beautiful music I've ever heard.

[@frankhalena]

I first heard this in a restaurant in Santorini, during a sailing trip in the Mediterranean so long ago I don't even remember when it was. It's 2 days until 2020 ends and after the better part of a bottle of nice white, it's the best thing ever to have rediscovered this song. Have a good 2021 everyone. Hopefully it'll be as chill as this.

[@birdmanjr6667]

So weird! I heard this for the first time in. A sprinter in Santorini driving next to the Mediterranean on the coast

[@m.hunter949]

Reading both your stories in accordance with this song "I've felt this place before, somewhere in another time" This the type of shit I live for, love this band. Have a happy 2024 the both of you. 🎉

[@frankhalena]

And to you as well :) @@m.hunter949

Rest in Peace Pam Bricker. Your voice continues to resonate throughout the smokey Colorado atmosphere to this day...

[@ProximaCentauri88]

Pam Bricker sadly left us too soon... Elin Melgarejo did a great job in the Symphonik version of "Lebanese Blonde". There could never be another Pam Bricker but Elin's vocals in the Symphonik version hauntingly sounds like Ms. Bricker.

[@Filthy_Goblin_44]

the other singer way better

[@szczeepaan]

@@Filthy_Goblin_44 that's true

[@yurianamartinez7433]

oh my god! didnt know she died :( she was so young i think, beautiful voice....

[@forbiddenera]

Hauntingly is a good verb for that

[@LaraOran]

I'm losing myself in the dream world when I hear the sitar solo! It's unbelievable!

[@The2follow]

The whole band seem so absorbed by their music, no other band keeps dragging me back they are so dam brilliant, so talented and they gel so well, I find myself closing my eyes and their music is there ❤

[@HangingGarden606]

I have listened to these folks on a near daily basis for over 10 years now.

[@TheWhippetmaster]

I have as well, better human for doing so

[@HangingGarden606]

@@TheWhippetmaster Yes indeed!

[@megandownes9686]

Me too... maybe late 90's but definitely very early 2000's First came across this on a Hi Fidelity lounge. The orange one. Unreal, I still love it just as much as the first time. Going off loud in my car. Has to be loud.

[@Kwstakis41]

Too low to find my way Too high to wonder why I've touched this place before Somewhere in another time Now I can hear the sun The clouds drifting through the blinds A half a million thoughts Are flowing through my mind A satellite recalled your voice Sent me round the world again All the night you've dreamt away Sent me round my heart again One touch upon my lips And all my thoughts are clear I feel your smoky mist Up to the stratosphere ....

Thievery is by far my favorite group to see live. Total all around talent.

[@clarkenheimer]

Now that's a band... nearly every instrument you can dream of, in one gorgeous unison... beautiful vocals of Pam Bricker to finish this masterpiece off... wow just wow.

[@stanislavsd]

damn, when the bass and drums drop in at 3:34 I get goosebumps.

[@raphaelm6149]

I dont know if ive ever heard female vocals this cool before ... Damn , she makes me wanna groove!!!!

[@jackballjohnson3468]

Check out Portishead, Sneaker Pimps, Morcheeba, or Massive Attack with Elizabeth Frasier (teardrops).

[@hplovehandle]

Great tune. Reminds me of getting stoned on summer evenings and watching the sunset.

[@chiggsytube]

Just popping it to say it's summer time now. Destroy some new memories tonight!

Lebanese blonde is a hash strain, for those who believe is a woman behind this splendid song 🎵

That was my first thought. Totally reminds me of the one time I tried the stuff. Just as groovy and chill as this song.
