I've not done any comparisons but they don't sound particularly remastered to me.

― Chewshabadoo, Friday, 1 April 2016 10:01 (eight years ago) link
Yeah it nearly did for me as well tbh, but it has been almost 20 years since I last saw them and it's a small venue, no dealing with Roundhouse crowds.
― Just noise and screaming and no musical value at all. (Colonel Poo), Friday, 1 April 2016 10:03 (eight years ago) link
So this is tonight! No support band, on stage at 8:30.
I only saw Lush twice and both times it was during the Britpop years, just slightly too young to see them in the early 90s, apparently their setlist will be drawing heavily from the early stuff on this tour, much like Ride I guess.
― Just noise and screaming and no musical value at all. (Colonel Poo), Monday, 11 April 2016 13:17 (eight years ago) link
Enjoy. I'm glad they'll be focusing on the earlier stuff (as I was with Ride) as I didn't listen to much they did after Spooky.

i know Split is considered to be a lost classic but they hated making it. i'm guessing setlists would pretty much resemble the Ciao 'Best Of' but i'd be happy if it was mostly pre-Split tbh. now i just have to avoid seeing the setlists for another 6 months after they shifted the Manchester date around from May to November.

Was great. Emma fluffed the solo on hypocrite but that was early on and they were pretty tight after that. I was struggling to think what I'd've liked them to play and only came up with nothing natural. Of course my fucking train was cancelled but luckily there's one more.
― Just noise and screaming and no musical value at all. (Colonel Poo), Monday, 11 April 2016 22:28 (eight years ago) link
sounds excellent judging from reports. saw their last ever Uk gig in 96, bit gutted to have missed the first one since. and yeah no Nothing Natural is weird.

My sister came to visit me in Reading while I was at uni there in 1996 and Lush were playing and she somehow lost her ticket on the way down. We walked all the way back looking for it but didn't find it. I went back and watched them on my own anyway. We did eventually see them together a couple of months later at phoenix festival. I was 19 she was 16. Tbh I only really remember that they played their Zounds cover at the end

Miki: Steve left after our 'secret' support appearance with Ride at ULU in London, in December 1991. To be honest, when Lush started, we needed a bassist and I asked Steve because he was a nice bloke, not because he was an amazing bass player! His taste in music was quite different to ours and I don't think he even liked any 4AD bands. Once he'd had the experience of a headline tour and making a record, he was done.
Steve: I'd had a brilliant time in the band but I wasn't keen to get on the tour-record-tour bandwagon which I could see looming, so I got out while I was still enjoying it. I missed Miki, Chris and Emma, but I spent my first year out of Lush travelling round the world with my girlfriend and it was the best thing I ever did so I didn't regret leaving.
^ Interesting. I was wondering why they had chosen to go with Phil rather than Steve for the reunion. I was at that gig (the Ride one) and I remember them announcing that it was Steve's final gig with them.
― Lionel Richie the Wardrobe (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Saturday, 16 April 2016 22:46 (eight years ago) link
yeah some fascinating stuff in this. good to hear from Steve again. i recall the last gig i saw with him (October '91) they said he was going off 'to write a book'. i sorta forgot just how 'different' each of the first 3 EPS/singles sounded, each having a different producer. they don't sound that separate from each other now.
had to lol at this
Emma: I remember a meeting at Columbia. While they were schmoozing us with all the amazing things they were going to do for us, one of their people was sitting next to me taking notes. I caught a glimpse of his notepad and he'd written: "We already have Ultra Vivid Scene, do we need this band as well?"

Having seen the set lists for the two gigs they've actually managed to play, it doesn't look like they're going to play my favourite (Ocean) or one that I thought they would definitely play (Nothing Natural).
