Mojave 3 - Live at Festival Internacional de Benicàssim, Spain 4-August-2000

I received this in a trade about 15 years ago but I never had a PAL VCR so I put it in storage and it sat there until last month, when I dug it out, bought a compatible VCR, and digitized it. Unfortunately the color goes in and out a lot and there are various other glitches, but the sound is generally excellent (it's from the soundboard), and it is the only pro-shot Mojave 3 video I know of from the time. This was originally broadcast on Spanish TV, so perhaps someone out there has a better copy? (if so, please let me know.)

Whether it's Slowdive or Mojave 3, Neil and Rachel have made some of the most beautiful music ever.

....this band has always blown my mind, and reduced me to tears........I am happy to let them do so.......their songs were all so entirely .....from the heart.....and the pedal steel just made it all.....perfect........Excuses For Travellers is such a beautiful record.....along with the first two..........face it.......EVERYTHING.......was just ......BRILLIANT........I spend so much time with this band ........

[@TheWelcome7]

Rachael and Halstead together is what made Mojave 3 good, very.

[@charliehuang6162]

What a real rare video recording ! When Simon Rowe was still in band, Rachel played bass, and Ian on drums; and they were all young and shining !

[@PoliceBoy465]

Who is on pedal steel? Seen Mojave 4 times, Slowdive once, and Neil solo once.

[@charliehuang6162]

The keyboard player maybe Alan Forrester, but I'm not quite sure. Who is on pedal steel? Sorry ! I don't know who he is.

[@gregmartin6395]

I believe Melvin Duffy is the Pedal Steel Player

[@charliehuang6162]

Thanks for your information.

[@fripsebibs]

I find this very interesting. Rachel on bass huh? Did she play bass on any records of mojave 3?

[@antoniomadridsouto7437]

Estuve en ese concierto. No había escuchado nada de Mojave 3, pero caí rendido a la magia que crearon sobre el escenario. Llevo 20 años recordando esa tarde y como me caían las lágrimas cuando escuché "When you are drifting", mientras el sol se ponía. Cuando encontré este vídeo pude revivir esos momentos. Gracias souvlakiss

[@Palace-of-Madness]

The first couple albums/tours by Mojave 3 were just AMAZING.

Thank you very much for the upload!

[@danielwalsh9057]

I am so glad u did the work on this! thanks soo much

[@luluquinha79]

Thank you for sharing this! Such a treasure! Love them so much. My dream is to see their concert, not much hope it will happen again :( At least I could see Slowdive, but not the same love I have for Mojave 3...

[@abraxis20]

Great stuff. Wish I'd followed Mojave back then but was missing Slowdive too much at the time. I hope they can squeeze in a few reunion shows some day.

[@Palace-of-Madness]

Thank you SO MUCH for this. Maybe the best version ever of "In Love With A View"

[@howardl854]

Thanks for this 👍🏻 Mercy live sounds great

[@ehza]

I had a plan That was built on thinking to long Canadian winters At home with your sisters the romance was hard to ignore You were beautiful I was happy to fall So happy to fall I remember you searching I thought you were searching that´s how I picked up the phone Happy to hear you remembered the view So glad to assume it was fate I thought at the time it was clear I thought at the time it was clear So I stood at the station With a plan and a pocket of poems Heroically tragic Bearded and blind with obsession I´m a car without hope Too close to the ditch to go far I showed you my field I said this is my field But you weren´t impressed You said why are we here Your motives are clear In this room with a view and so much of you is so far from here it's so far from here it's so far from here it's so far from here Oh my heart It just fell apart And i wished I could show you The same view of you by the window and me feeling fine And me just feeling fine Yeah me just feeling fine

[@hunty92]

Yeah, thank you! This is really awesome.

[@petrdocekal3870]

I have never seen Mojave 3 on stage..that's purely amazing! Thank u man, great work!

[@komaboy]

Thank you for sharing, pal!!

[@sunsetman22]

great gig. also Neil in the thumbnail looks like he's got the worst sunburn ever lmao

[@liaoxpaul]

awesome video! thank you

[@xAdunx]

thnks for the upload!

[@luanawantsacake]

This is gold, dude! Thank you very much for sharing this. What a lovely band was Mojave 3 back then, I was reading in this random interview they even thought about keeping the name Slowdive but it didn't seem to be right since they needed a new "fresh start".

[@Palace-of-Madness]

Plus it wouldn't have been right since it would have just been Neil and Rachel. 2/5 of Slowdive. So yeah.

[@marriedcinema6601]

@@Palace-of-Madness 3/5 if you count Ian for being a member of Slowdive during Pygmalion

[@liquidvizionsmadferit]

@@marriedcinema6601 I don't count Ian because of how minimal the drums are on that album.

[@marriedcinema6601]

@@liquidvizionsmadferit Fair point. It's hard to think of anyone other than Simon Scott as the drummer of Slowdive.

[@liquidvizionsmadferit]

@@marriedcinema6601 Absolutely. He is the backbone.

[@andreaandthemods3917]

Spectacular film of a spectacular band. Thanks so much for getting this out there for us all to enjoy!

[@den-t3566]

Awesome, never heard this before.

[@TheWelcome7]

I’m glad Mojave 3 happened

[@Hallh2008]

In Love With A View (flecha al corazón)

[@wajdiaathirah]

im in love.

[@howardl854]

They’re so young here, at their prime

[@thesystemlightsband]

This is so great. I don't hear much about this band, which is a shame considering how highly influential and underrated they are. I have never seen them perform and this is a rare opportunity.

[@Hallh2008]

40 Principales, Mojave3 N° 1 OP!

[@russellsolsky8694]

This was one of many bands that I could not tell my friends about. Never play in front of them. Far far from their tiny shell of musical comfort.

[@lilelf3242]

yass girl slap that bass

[@guinnesstrail]

Slowdive, Mach II. They were good. They're still good.

[@sincrianza1]

Me hubiera gustado ver a Mojave3, soy muy fan de la banda, pero me regocija saber que al menos los puee ver como slowdive.

[@khaidil28]

Rachel on bass🎉 just like Kim Deal😊

[@Vulmen311]

Neil looks like he is Dexter from the tv show here, lol

[@dannycarolan6223]

My biggest regret In watching gigs is never seeing talking heads or Mojave 3 live brilliant

[@63Kafka]

Tune!
