My Bloody Valentine - Live in Austin (1992)

[@mutboi9720]

ironically this is probably one of the clearest recordings of mbv live

[@dlr.]

where's the irony?

[@ejenplitobarces]

@@dlr. MBV are one of the noisiest bands ever when it comes to playing live, a bad quality recording would sound like almost pure static

[@dlr.]

ironía: situación o hecho que resulta ser totalmente contrario a lo que se esperaba o que marca un fuerte contraste con ello. ni uno ni otro a mi parecer

[@ejenplitobarces]

@@dlr. a lo mejor la ironía está en que la gente común y corriente esperaría una grabación que se escuche "perfecta", todos los instrumentos y las voces bien definidas, pero bueno, esto es shoegaze (del que lleva mucha distorsión) y aquí la cosa cambia radicalmente, quienes no están acostumbrados a escuchar este género podrían decir que hay un "error" con el volumen de las voces o algo así

[@VcoLabs]

I was at this show. Intense is putting it lightly. By far the loudest show I ever experienced. It’s not visible but there was so much stage diving going on. I sat on the stage directly across from Belinda to try to get away from total pandemonium (right hand side of screen). I can be seen every so often when strobes go off, was wearing the these red 501’s. I don’t think it’s ever surfaced, but someone in the crowd was filming with a 16mm movie camera. The intensity of the “holocaust” portion of ‘You Made Me Realize’ was drug inducing.

Saw the same lineup at the Blue Note in Columbia, MO. The light show, volume, and then dino came on. I was wrecked for days but the whole experience is seered in my memory

[@JET7C0]

Wild - wish I'd been able to see them back in the day, but I was like 6 years old then, lol. I had an opportunity to see them in 2018, in my city, but had recently developed horrific tinnitus (thankfully temporary and went away after many torturous months), so didn't want to mess around with seeing them live, given how notorious they were for loudness - especially the last song.

I've heard it best said, being rocketed to the 4th dimension existence. A spiritual experience. This is one of the better sounding live recordings I've come across.

[@westerberger69]

I saw them at the 40 Watt in Athens GA in 1991 opening for Dinosaur Jr. Never heard of them. I was a live sound engineer and had heard plenty of loud bands before. After about 5 minutes, I simply could not take it anymore. Their playing literally took on a quality of brown noise that my brain simply could not tolerate. I had to go outside to prevent getting sick. I've probably seen and worked 2000 shows in small clubs and I've never felt like that before or since. I went back in for Dino and they are loud af of course, but tolerable. And yet I listen to Loveless now regularly. It's beautiful and extremely powerful.

This was eight days before I caught them in Columbus. I think the setlist is more or less the same. It was a hell of a show, so loud.

Scrawl opened and from what I remember, played a nice set, albeit a tad quieter.
