I'm probably the oldest person to watch this video. When I grew up in the 1960s I alway imagined a kind of music that sounded like this would exist in the future, and decades later the music scene evolved and Slowdive emerged. Pretty interesting. Glad it happened.

[@awolsurf-TC]

Well I grew up in the 1920s...When I heard this video was coming out I had to 23 skidoo from my flagpole sitting contest. A-cha cha cha!

[@MrMarketingGuy]

I was born in 1919 and I pissed myself watching this it was so awesome

Check out Cocteau Twins.

[@josueamericanistarv]

They were so ahead of their time, it took the world 20 years to finally starting to catch up with them.

[@davidspratt2001]

Whoever mixed this deserves a medal! On many Slowdive live recordings, the vocals are too far back in the mix I find. This is perfect!

[@stumacaulay7448]

Thanks!

[@gastonayusa]

Yeah, it's called Shoegaze.

[@neilwhitaker6284]

I didn't realize how good their drummer was. Usually I was focused on the guitars. And the bassist really drives it and does well to hold the tune together so the guitars can kind of go off on their dreamy tangents.

[@Grondhammar]

Simon and Nick are superb musicians. They're technically world-class, and give their all in performances. But even more important, they tether the Rachel/Niel/Christian clouds to the ground, without nailing them to the floor. Glad to see others appreciate their artistry.

[@chrisb6296]

Understated but solid

[@vijaip]

When you experience it live, you truly understand how solid they are. The bass is out front in the mix.

[@gradoca]

Probably the best live of Slowdive ever recorded. Congratulations.

[@awolsurf-TC]

Now hold on! I see a few of these comments...and fair enough. But have you ever seen the Garage performace from 2017? I personally would put that as their best current live concert in both sound and visuals. This one is good but the vocals suffer at times. It is shot very very well though.

[@gradoca]

@@awolsurf-TC I agree there are so many good records. I have been in some concerts of them and the experience is uncomparaisable. Probably the most 1:1 performance I have ever listened. If not, by far the best shanty's sound quality...

[@EnzoMastrangeloMusic]

I preffer the kexp live... this one has too much compression

[@awolsurf-TC]

@@EnzoMastrangeloMusic yup! Another great performance

Slowdive's is one of the only bands from late 80's and early 90's still making new music as good as they made 35 years ago. This band's legacy has been a long gradual climb to legendary status.

NME and Melody Maker are long defunct and Slowdive get millions of views for their new songs, which are BANGERS. Success truly is the best revenge.

In a parallel universe they are as big as Coldplay and Radiohead. I think you can blame the record company too tho - why wasn't "when the sun hits" a single?

[@jdjphotographynl]

I wonder how the people from NME and Melody Maker that wrote those destructive articles about Slowdive (or any band for that matter) could sleep at night. But okay, Slowdive have definitely gotten the last laugh.

En effet tellement émouvant après toutes ces années, que de souvenirs 90's, superbe concert, merci Arte, tellement heureux de voir slowdive à la fin du mois à Lille.

[@aqwan01]

this is a fantastic recording, hats off to the engineers

[@calebkeen8967]

This sounds amazing even at low volume, all the elements at the right level so that they 'gel' correctly into the wall of sound. Honestly done better than their latest album.

[@SaintMartins]

I can't remember how i discovered Slowdive back in 1991. I knew The Cure & Cocteau Twins b/c our country's music channel played their videos. Noisier Shoegazer bands like Jesus & Mary Chain & My Bloody Valentine were introduced to me by Sonic Youth & Lou Reed who hyped them. I discovered Lush during Lollapalooza 92, but Slowdive is a still a mystery. Maybe a blind buy ?

[@mikefaulhaber]

This was an especially intimate performance. Thank you for sharing it with us. Like many others viewing and commenting on this video, I was fortunate to see them perform recently (in January). After many, many years of waiting and watching countless videos of their live shows since the '90s, they managed to exceed my already stratospheric expectations. Oh, how lucky we all are to have Slowdive.

[@svenleiser7799]

Slowdive is not only a band. It's a miracle. I heard the band, just 5 days, that i was back from Australia. it was amazing! I hope, they come another time to Hamburg. Because, i will not enyoy you alone. Some friends, a lot of friends of me, will take part of you. :)

[@deyvidby]

Slowdive, a band that has helped me in my life since it came to me through the sleep algorithm on yt, thanks to them for everything they do and will continue to do, slowdive, a story of love, failure and Glory, I love the always beautiful Rachel and the rest of the boys ❤

[@richardcalvache1]

I love them. Saw you in Colombia with The Cure. The best night!

[@final_mile_music9713]

What a dream gig that was! I wish I’d been there.

[@Psimbyosis02]

YT randomly recommended me this video right now (17:10pm, 4/1/2024) and this band sounds great, like a more ambient version of Cocteau Twins (dream pop or shoegaze maybe). enjoying the good music with a cup of tea. have a nice day/night. greetings from Chile.

[@final_mile_music9713]

Welcome. Dive in. You’ve made it.

[@ChrisEchoes]

Kudos to whoever did the lighting and directed this video. They totally got what Slowdive is all about and captured lots of things I have never seen in any other Slowdive live videos.

[@gradoca]

Probably the best live of Slowdive ever recorded.

[@MarkB-SnowyMtn]

First video where I can see what Christian is actually doing. I have been massively inspired by Neil's playing & tone. In fact I bought one of my (many) guitars due to Neil's Epiphone. However, I have always felt that Christian adds an unsung vital texture. Here I can see how he is doing it. My challenge is how to get the flavor of both Neil's & Christian's guitars out of my one guitar in our band. Hopeless, I know, but I do get part way there :) This my favorite Slowdive live video ever. Great work!

[@awolsurf-TC]

​@@MarkB-SnowyMtn Christian is great...and yes, sometimes his guitar gets hidden or obscured in the filming. I bought (a few, haha) Jazzmasters based in part on his playing style. I am a lefty too, LOL

[@cjsilvestremusic]

It's an anomaly how this band sounds so tight despite heavy use of delay and reverb! Otherworldly magical sound!

[@final_mile_music9713]

It’s because the underlying songs are so well written. They were never style over substance. The bones of the songs are fantastic. Halstead is an amazing songwriter and the band great with their parts and arrangements.

[@rgrgraterol]

agree... I also think the rhythm section is very tight and punchy on the latest releases and makes everything else sounds cleaner@@final_mile_music9713

incredible.....I saw Slowdive supporting RIDE and Chapterhouse in 1991 ....*(long time ago in a Galaxy Far Far away now it seems)....during the height of Shoegaze... in that interim period which was just post Madchester - Stone Roses/Mondays madness...and just prior to when the banality of Brit Pop took hold ....they were amazing then...but its awesome to see how they've developed over the years into this ethereal epic soundscape of beauty ...defo need to check them out again live soon 🙂

Same. I blame Canadian radio where I live for only promoting Banger Rock and roll from 40 years ago or new pop. I do what I can by blasting bands like this to all the general public in the area at skateparks I travel to.

@@kevinparkernde you didn't live in Toronto in the late 80s and early 90s I take it? It put a smile on my face we had a pretty good radio station at the time called CFNY which had some great DJs in the evenings playing all sorts of "alternative" music.
