Lush - (The Abyss) Houston,Texas 8.11.94

[@ericdeforest3811]

I saw them about 9 months later in 1995, Ironically at another "The Abyss" in Virginia Beach. We had different openers including Scheer and Mohave 3, which was a changed direction musically, from a few former members of the band Slowdive. Amazingly, I met Miki, who came out and talked with my girlfriend and buddy. It was surreal...Because she was so cool, down to earth and interested in mixing with the crowd a bit. Very cool experience. Still super memories of the concert and meeting her that night. They were into it, and had the crowd really into it.

I was at this show. The Dambuilders and Weezer opened for Lush. It was one of the best small show I have ever seen.

[@jamesheine2955]

Look at those LUSH ladies playing guitars!

25:10 - Truer words were never spoken. 💙

I too was at this show. It was amazing. Was lucky enough to shake Miki’s hand.

[@sunglint]

YES! First date at this show, she loved the Weezer sweater song, and I had never heard of Lush. They've had a place in my heart since then. Such a great show, thanks for these!

[@jawsincorporated]

Unreal. Amazing. Brings back such memories from seeing them at Lollapalooza.

[@MarkSutphin]

A woe for the dude who film this show! Wonderful bootleg of a wonderful band.

[@uncooldispatch5438]

Blackout as an opener !! Yes!!!!!!

[@Methuselas]

Awww. You're bringing back memories. I was at this show and it was hot as FUCK. The AC was broken (again.) Notorious problem with the Abyss. Met Miki and Chris right before the show. Good times.

[@marsailmar1]

Even off the crummy camera mic you can tell they played really effin' LOUD! Love it.

Did Lush ever play "Monochrome" live?

[@billgreene8320]

yes! it was their first encore on the Spooky tour in 1992.

[@billgreene8320]

Phil King: "Miki ́s [bass parts] weren’t so difficult, but I found that apart from “Sweetness & Light” and “Nothing Natural,” that Emma ́s songs weren ́t as easy as I ́d first thought. She had a habit of not using root notes to make things a little more interesting. For example in “Monochrome” the guitar chords are the same for every verse, whereas the bass notes change each time round. She told me that when they recorded it in the studio, Robin Guthrie had asked how anybody was expected to be able to learn it. I had to have it all written down on a couple of sheets of paper, which I would have next to my set list onstage. We would play it for the encore. I remember at one show on the “Spooky” UK tour we came back onstage and somebody has stolen them and we had to ask for them back, which was pretty embarrassing. Luckily, after a few months of playing it every night I managed to memorise it."
