Slowdive - Dagger (live premiere) @QSW Shanghai 2014.07.26

[@MoxFreakinFulder]

Haha Rachel keeps looking at Neil like "sing the right fucking lyrics"

[@RuffisInc]

Dude wrote the song about her bro

[@jonytube]

I loved when Neil and Rachel gazed at each other and Neil sang "I know you are my dagger, I know you are my wound" and Rachel just stares back... The look on her face throughout the song says it all.

[@mari1809ify]

I have my personal experience of this song,,I cheated my dear and lovely wife some years ago..It still reminds me my greatest failure of my life..

[@tea-stomach-cycle6385]

Did something happen between them?

[@skrym8178]

​@@tea-stomach-cycle6385they were in a relationship when they were young, basically souvlaki is what Neil felt when they broke up

[@whicles1062]

​@@skrym8178now i know

[@CasperIskov]

Must be a certain experience for him to suddenly sing it with the person he wrote it about, so many years later

[@railpressureflip]

+Casper Iskov I watched the documentary recently and learned that. I thought either one of them would break down on stage, that'd be artsy.

[@Erick-eq8ml]

which documentary?

[@CasperIskov]

ErickAdrian pitchforks doc about souvlaki. Its up here

[@railpressureflip]

ErickAdrian Yeap, Pitchforks doc on Souvlaki.

[@crabsackmccringle1687]

Who the drummer?

[@heartbroken2539]

I almost cried. This song is so sad when you understand the deep meaning of the lyrics. The distance between them on the stage also resonates with the song. Uh, such a sad song...

[@JODIDO84]

Love this song...I just remember that I played it "all the time" when it was released back in the early 90's...An unexpected return from one of the most brilliant band associated to the "shoegazing" movement...

[@grnwl329]

by the time they played this live for the first time, the song was as old as Neil back when he wrote it

[@stormyeux]

this song sounds amazing with the whole band, i wish they would release a version like this

[@zdunas23]

Great version. Funny how Neil changed lyrics haha

[@leonardshar]

I cant believe that Slowdive used to perform in Shanghai!!

[@andresacosta6005]

The live version is amazing… those drums

[@StrangeMachines1]

It happens all the time..

[@mus31]

[@akaizkovich]

[@definaoseuidentificador]

[@jrhinktown9171]

[@Radiohead17321]

Does anyone know what chords Neil is playing?

[@dougthealligator]

[@aqmandruunk5905]

It would wonderful if they could reunite somehow. Neil sounds like he still loves her...

[@BEHEDETY]

I thought music was illegal in China

[@tommy2791]

Everything's illegal in China, their government just isn't effective at regulating anything.

[@АлександрМенделеев-г3э]

@@tommy2791 Because you both do ignore, if you did not and didn't stay with the Anglo-Saxon libelling and often disinformative campaign youd know they make the exact same music genres as us and yet even many many more from their neighbours.

[@abel5779]

Yes it's also illegal to breathe in China you know
