[@seppoinnanen5577]

Who needs to travel anymore. Slowdive takes me to another planet anyway.

[@DiannMelodyDunkley-sx2jr]

Moody Blues said THINKING IS THE BEST WAY TO TRAVEL. BUT WITH SLOWDIVE THINKING AND NOT THINKING ARE THE BEST WAYS TO TRAVEL. THEY ARE SOOO MEDITATIVE. WISH THE BRITISH INVASION OF THE 90s would have been a happening thing in the States. Wow, I just discovered them today. I'm 73, wish I'd discovered them in the 90s. Better late than never.

[@scottboyd3838]

Saturn music for Saturn people.

[@hadiysyakir1979]

I'm gonna name my daughter Avalyn, after Alison. After all, Loomer doesn't make sense at all.

[@vincentanderson1188]

Hadiy Syakir personally I'd call her delaware or luna. Drop nineteens ,smashing pumpkins.

[@drezewskii]

I logged in just to leave a thumb up.

[@RuudLang]

Or Slomo ;-)

[@ALeaud]

Vincent Anderson Luna is a beautiful name (and song).

[@kekorp111]

luna lunita, my little moon

[@Steven_A_Lomas]

This is INCREDIBLE. What a group. Equally phenomenal visuals, which is a rare delight.

[@subpaen1728]

Probably my favorite band of all time. It’s pretty rare to see a band come back and be just as good, if not better

[@LilacSnowBun]

Same and Yes! Usually comebacks are terrible but this is soooo good 😍

[@grungyasscinema]

Alice in Chains

[@jake_villanueva]

This is one of the bands that I mention pulling off a “reunion” or “comeback” record. Self titled is so good. Hope to see them back in the US soon.

[@stevemuzak8526]

The greatest come back ever.

[@maxfrenchm]

True

[@rebeca3884]

I have no words, this is beyond beautiful.

[@stephenricci5201]

The finest wine. . I'm so happy for them. My favorite band for 25 years.. Slowdive . I could simply cry.

[@ValeriaGarcia-po7rr]

Me too

[@christophermaynard1902]

Mee 3.

[@DasneckDesigns]

Slowdive makes me feel in eternity dreams, makes me feel that I'm the sun, the clouds and the wind, there is no time here. I'm really happy they are back

[@linxde1]

I think he's trying to say he likes the music. ;-)

[@papipitillos8540]

Cass Bormann me too, me too....

[@pattymccollim8847]

Beautifully said Santi Moon! Yay Slowdive! Earth beauty.

[@happe.floaterinc821]

Great take on the magnificent band❤

[@atcut]

I love you Pitchfork. This is the best live video I’ve seen since Swans Seer live.

[@lucythefluffycat]

All this new live footage has made me appreciate Christian Savill's guitar work more than even before. So tastefully placed.

[@manco828]

Shera's he's the unsung hero of Slowdive's sound.

[@gabreu854]

Oh man, I wish they'd played No Longer Making Time :^(

[@micahnewman]

And Go Get It.

[@antibrunch]

My favorite from the new record.

[@IanMcCausland]

Right? I Am on here looking for that live!

[@lusio7182]

All their new songs are fantastic... wish they'd played all of them

[@h4lley_c0met]

...CATHY DON'T WAIIIITT

[@moskva-kassiopeya]

These songs is like a deep scar on my body.

[@somebody.5402]

Mmmmm. I feel the same....

[@vetumx]

since the beginning of this concert, it was the only thing that gave me peace of mind in one of the most painful moments of my life, thank you.

[@ronrendon]

Hope your doing better, brother. 💕

[@jasonerbe]

Saw these guys on half a dozen occasions 1st time round in my home town of Reading in 89-91. They were brilliant then and just as good now. Love the new album:- Welcome Back

[@gmutt26]

The only album that i own that is level with the perfection of slowdive's latest album is war on drugs - lost in the dream. every time i listen to them i just all my worries go away. this performance is perfection

[@matthewphelps5136]

Slomo is so beautiful it makes you want to cry.

[@ericyapp5309]

gives me a feeling of swimming in the night with the nice cold water and gorgeous pool lights on 🖤

[@soggy_burrito]

Slowdive's 2017 album is so good it's stupid. Best album of 2017. Easily the best reunion album of all time.

[@fakeis751]

Slomo's got the same chords to this song they never released called Hide Your Eyes, I thought they were gonna play that until Neil started singing.

[@leifdehio2151]

This version of Avalyn is just perfect!

[@Grondhammar]

👍 They get into such a groove... mind-blowing performance.

[@happe.floaterinc821]

Agreed❤

[@stefanostefanutto7321]

Star Roving is just crazy good

[@SecondLifeAround]

00:07 Slomo 08:17 Catch the Breeze 12:59 Slowdive 17:52 Star Roving 23:22 Avalyn

Jesus Christ homies bass guitar levels on this mix are the best ever . And yes of course they’re the best ever

[@im_new_wave]

Thank u😄

[@shoegazeboiii9311]

thanks guy)

[@somebody.5402]

Im so happy at rediscovering slowdive, I really need this music in my life right now.... 💜🖤

[@ericbuford1362]

That was amazing. Slowdive are as great as they always were. The new album is brilliant too. Pure astonishment.

[@CristinaOliveira-rx6xj]

DIVINE

[@erickovach3062]

These musicians stop me in my tracks... Just stunning sound. Such an amazing set of songs that lift everything in one'e soul. Thank you.

[@markwalsh6714]

Such an amazing sound. Love this group

[@Robert-dt3is]

I love the black and white lighting.

[@whyisblue923taken]

This Slomo is much better than the album version and that one was good. The way they play it here made it my favorite Slowdive song.

[@Matthew-px9nu]

Slomo is such addictive song , can't get it out of my head !!! Killer tune

[@micahnewman]

God, this version of Slomo... so dreamy...

[@christophermaynard1902]

Slowdive knocked it out of the park, and into our very very grateful hands....this band was so ahead of thier time. Catch the breeze sounded Majestic.

[@sepptimber9126]

Melancholy, melancholy and more melancholy. Listening to Slowdive is a drug I'm afraid I'll have to stop consuming por my mental sake.

[@maskof]

I used to listen to "Rutti" every night before bedtime. It would put be in a blissful relaxed state.

[@Jason-Scott]

Weird

[@indufrioltda]

I remain dismayed, I am still excited, listening to this wonderful band, I saw them live and I still can not wake up from the dream of their new album that reminds me of my youth but not because I miss it but why Slowdive helped me to digest it. ...

[@erikangelini0]

Amazing, powerful and atmospheric music!! It's good to have these guys back.

[@TheGmcFilms]

I must say Pitchfork, the sound on this video upload is pretty impressive ...G...

[@eclectico78]

Holy guacamole! Star Roving is so amazing!

[@yellowclouds3722]

Slomo is such a great track

[@vasilya.ivanov5919]

Year of 2023... Probably most of modern phones can make better quality of hd video resolution

[@harthart8039]

Slomo sounds like a part of a Kate Bush song

[@Zeek764]

The reverb is giving me eargasms.

[@JakiraJakira78]

This version of Slomo is insane. wish it was on the album instead

[@Agostoic]

12:21 pure fuckin' bliss

[@clixt984]

I can't believe I just discovered this old school band.... They're great!

[@lylahcummins5672]

Me too :)

[@sandeshpandey2076]

I literally discovered them 2hrs ago and have been listening continuously since. They're beautiful music❤️

[@danfan4707]

First advert @ 3:26… Thanks KZbin.

[@regicks]

that bassline on star roving. my god

[@yellowclouds3722]

Stunning gig! This is THE credible example of an aged band coming back after some distant years of absence. Now shining so real with deep beauty. Aged but shining more. Hardly seen on stage but brilliant in warming ways.

[@BirdMachine-if5hg]

Incredible soundscapes, and especially impressive that it's live.

[@stevencruz4420]

barely realized how dope the bass is on the song slowdive

[@christodowns]

Slowdive has stood the test of time. This video proves it 🖤

[@aefmiller]

Compliments the album brilliantly! Great session this!

[@shaneupham2097]

for me Slowdive gives me everything I want in a band not preachy not political just relaxing songs amazing singers Slowdive is art within music

[@miyagan382]

Live version is much much better than studio version.

[@cogniktive1147]

I love both, but goddamn post-hiatus Slowdive >> post-hiatus MBV

[@barbdrake5999]

no

[@almcostarepuestosin]

I like this as I like my black metal... slow and without growls

[@chetkayeable]

The new album is awesome.

[@muhammadabiyyu8528]

chetkayeable That melon guy gave their new album 4/10

[@chetkayeable]

Who? it's like last year when ATCQ came back after 20+ years and blew everyone away. Best indie record i have heard in ages. Brilliant.

[@superplanettomomatic]

some bands stay in the same positions on stage, every show, but I've noticed Neil play center, stage left and right. Guess he doesn't have a preference. Always sound amazing nonetheless. Just an observation.

[@manco828]

During 2014-2015 he always was on the left. Now he's on the right.

[@manco828]

Rob I heard he surfs.

[@ronrendon]

Sooooo dreamy. Soooooo Beautiful. Makes me want to go for a long deep dive into the ocean, never looking back.

[@johannasequera890]

This is an incredible live ❤ I love them so much!

[@NemoSauro]

Much love from Brazil.

[@peterwilson1317]

Loving the "4'33""intro!

[@Kaphooey]

"Slowdive" brings me back to a great time, love that song

[@dollarsaurus01]

The best band in the world ❤️

[@BNHSM]

No doubts! Can’t describe how much personally I love slowdive

[@stanciubogdan8567]

amazing performance. feels like hanging over the clouds; "Catch the Breeze" is the best song in the history of mankind.

[@jaketorres6670]

This really helps me focus when I'm studying and doing homework. I love this so much.

[@somegirl8865]

The things they do to my soul..

[@cesaralejandro1938]

El día sea bueno o malo. triste o feliz, tengo q oír esta banda.... es mi banda favorita... quiero oírla antes de morir The day is good or bad. sad or happy i have to listen to this band...it's my favorite band...i want to listen to it before i die

[@fabienne7449]

Super duper gut ! Sehr fantastisch

[@highvoltageshock7933]

I remember Avalyn being played in the beginning of the film NOWHERE 1997.

[@manismostlywater]

One of the best bands ever

[@bearsetsfire1361]

Kinda hard to believe that at one point Creationrecords dropped these guys.

[@mydaydreamrecords]

bear sets fire they didn't get it...they were ahead of their time.

[@erikalin3782]

when I travelling alone, I listened to this to warm my heart.

[@blackgib]

It s been a long while since I listened to them. Totally missed out their comeback in 2017. Star Roving is just a masterpieve IMHO. But needless to say this is really up to what they used to do in the past, 30 years ago already (OMG I am starting being old now :-) ) , when I first listened to Souvlaki back then. Memories Memories.....

[@Soundofsilver2007]

Slowdive since ‘17 have put out much better music than The National, Arcade Fire, Fleet Foxes, The Shins, Animal Collective, LCD Soundsystem, Arctic Monkeys, The Strokes.

[@erikangelini0]

Thanks for this great performance!!

[@XaviKhalifa]

Gran banda un sonido que no es el mas limpio ni hermoso pero te relaja y hace que el tiempo vuele

[@canoestothemoon]

I was a young teen when they came on scene... totally missed out. Didn't discover them until 2 years ago... What a shame...

[@sweet7864]

Amazing sound/video quality

[@90svoyager]

Best version for slomo. Even better than the studio one!

[@casaintegralrengo8913]

que buen sonido !!!!

[@Qphotografix]

Still one of my favourite bands!

[@michalkochanik6418]

a song of us

[@GraveyardPoet]

Hypnotic. Mesmerizing. Thank You Slowdive.

[@PritishA82]

What did the members of Slowdive do for 20 yrs (1994-2014). I'm sure they must have moved on and done something else...gotten over their brief "stardom"....does anyone know their intermediate story? Cause they look very sane. Some people are not able to get over such events.... Just curious to know...Please let us know.

[@1paparico]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZvVZ5ipe719opY

[@Issicra]

Some of the band members split off and formed another band called Mojave 3 which was more folksy/alt-country. Neil Halstead also put out his own solo music which is also very folksy/acoustic.

[@salvlox_]

Slomo but it never catches up to vocals, and stays in this tranche state, with some variations and echoed arpeggios for hours. Could die like this.

[@willowufgood261]

Star roving is absolutely splendid

[@richardwatkins4338]

I'm layering this with calming focus music, and definitely adds to the bliss.

[@JuanMDiaz-ij2hs]

Automáticamente me ponen en otro sitio.

[@jimmywheeler19]

this version of avalyn is magnificent

[@klistiranikrupije1724]

I see and feel the ghosts of Cocteau Twins here.

[@MeetAlexChannel]

Klistirani Krupije couldn't agree more

[@nyannyannyan3529]

Cocteau twins are life siouxsie and the bashees are cool as well

[@Jason-Scott]

Can’t wait to see them again last time was 1991 at Newcastle riverside 🔥

[@georgigunchev9668]

legends ....

[@LilRedRasta]

I'm so glad they've found success in recent years. Its kind of odd too because back in 2009 when I discovered them, it seemed like very few people knew who they were. And I always wished that more people did and that they got more respect as a legendary band. I'm just glad that it happened after their reunion in 2014. They deserve it.

[@jabariweathers309]

That Japanese Breakfast tee is dope. (themusicisearthmeltingandiwantmore)

[@blackswan770]

Great session! Still dreaming

[@ben.futureprimitive]

shoegaze never die!

[@katsuro2611]

Backing to the days when I was a teeneger thinking about what I was doing in this world.

[@BeingAwakeisPainful]

Katsuro what are you doing nowadays?

[@MrCatfail]

why the 7 minutes of silence at the start? who is actually going to sit through that

[@gabrieladlfofarsetti3750]

atmosphere!!!... you can enjoy the silence of the music too! this is really slow deep motion! and the "real" speed don't make nothing here!

[@skyreadersociety6183]

see comment above from purpleeggplant

[@filippo0703]

Please explain me the 7 minutes musicless fog in the beginning

[@purpleeggplant]

Next level silent-core

[@manco828]

Fog-gaze.

[@skyreadersociety6183]

"Next level silent-core" - good one ;-)

[@serenorocha]

It was actually a cover of "4:33" by john cage, but an extended version
