Slowdive - Echoes with Jehnny Beth - ARTE Concert

[@BillLowenburg]

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!

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

[@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...

[@user-ud7ko4cq1n]

Slowdive 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.

[@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

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

[@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.

[@Scullbergo]

The Vocals are supposed to buried and dripping in reverb and delay

[@The_RedVIII]

Honestly, this is actually the one thing I don't like about this mix here. The vocals should not stick out in Shoegaze in my opinion, the should blend in with the other instruments. So I wish they would be a tight bit lower. That being said, they are also not like mixed totally in the front, so it's not that bad.

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.

Pure reverie, beauty, captivating melodies, emotions...they transport you to a magical journey. Huge legend band.

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. :)

[@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

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

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.

Been a fan of Slowdive since the mid-90s when I was living in Seattle. Their music elevated me through the grey skies and rain and made everything okay. So did the French band AIR, who are still relatively unknown here in the USA. I finally got to see Slowdive in LA at the Bellweather in 2023 and it was everything I hoped it would be and much more. My bucket list concert is Slow Dive and Air together and in no specific order. Btw - Slouvaki Space Station @17:59 sends a chill down my spine
