Apart from this one - no. I think using this thread for all Goblin related discussion is a good idea. Continue.

i've had "tenebre" stuck in my head for DAYS and i was trying to purge it, but has this live video been posted here? i genuinely wonder what it would be like to be in a room full of goblin fans. what would it even look like?!

Mix of hipsters, old prog dudes and speccy film nerds at the London gig a few years ago, is what it looked like.

wife is a huge Goblin fan. the kind that fell in love with their sdtk work before she'd even seen an Argento movie

Was it a good show? Was the crowd invested? Was there moving/grooving or did people just kinda stand there?

Yeah it was great, apart from a few few dodgy numbers from their new album but hey. Even the drum solo was good! Audience were grooving more than you usually get at prog shows, for what that's worth. There quite a few Hoxtonites there though, so they were grooving somewhat ironically just to be on the safe side.

first ever U.S. tour, wow.

Glad they finally decided to make it happen.

Seems Goblin are playing in London on halloween, the same night as Fabio Frizzi! But at a different venue! This is not clever.

that's a scheduling disaster!

Especially since half the audience will already have bought Frizzi tickets.

Potential audience I mean

Well obvs AND it's Halloween!
I can't imagine that audience being large enough to warrant being split up like that but maybe I am underestimating Frizzimania.

maria went last night and saw them in Boston. said they were amazing. almost 2 hour show.

Saw 'em last weekend. Maybe I'm not big enough of a fan, cuz I hardly recognized anything for the first 80% of the show and I was pretty bored because of it. They played all the famous soundtrack stuff towards the end though, so I left happy.

Saw a creepy looking middle aged dude in sweatpants and a wifebeater with a pretty decent tattoo of the scalped-by-helicopter zombie from Dawn of the Dead.

I'm going on Sunday! Excited.

thought they were a lot of fun, but wow, I did not expect them to be SO LOUD

I am not going to Roadburn in 2014, but Goblin are on the line-up with Comus and Magma. Holy shit!

:-o

Show last night was suuuuper loud! It was exactly as described above (soundtrack stuff in second part) and the crowd was pretty into it, in my experience in Chicago crowds of that size/nature. What was not helping a lot was the constant crowd-riling from the band. It must have been because they have never played in the US before? The Goblin-loving US audience (at least here) is a pretty sedate bunch, aside from the guy who comically elbowed me directly in the chin. There was some scattered dancing though, and we could see pretty well. Overall, good experience.

Speaking of dancing, what's up with no one mentioning the dancing lady on stage? She wasn't there the whole time, and I couldn't see her very well at all, but I was told she danced en pointe during Suspiria?!

Goblin came to Scotland maybe two years ago and they had never been before, surprisingly well attended. It was good and Simonetti was trying to get people to sing along to the Tenebre theme but I dont think anyone understood the two words they were supposed to repeat (one being "paura") but even though people didnt keep up with it, the song was the highlight of the night for me. I also remember it being quite funny when he was introducing the band members and he said of the drummmer "The best drummer... in this room!"

They played almost the whole of Roller, which is unfortunate because I dont think it is all that great.

I'm a massive fan of the sideproject Libra's Shock soundtrack. As good as the best Goblin. Need to get more Libra but I still dont have a lot of Goblin either.

Simonetti was trying to get people to sing along to the Tenebre theme but I dont think anyone understood the two words they were supposed to repeat (one being "paura") but even though people didnt keep up with it, the song was the highlight of the night for me. I also remember it being quite funny

identical to my show
it sounded like wah--ooh-ooh-wah and no one sang along but the song was the best fast song all night !!

okay, this is really weird. i talked to a guy who went to the boston show and HE talked to a guy in Secret Chiefs 3 who opened up the show and the guy from SC3 said that there are actually two Goblins touring. Simonetti and some metal dudes he hired and another Goblin which is the original bass player and drummer and some other guys. they are apparently playing again in Boston with Zombi and if you go to that show it will not be Simonetti. and they aren't telling anybody about this. apparently they had a fight - they were all going to play together over here - and they split in two. this sounds so bizarre. and if its true you won't know which Goblin you are getting when you go. this guy i know said the drum & bass Goblin is way better than the Simonetti version.

i have no confirmation of this. this is just what the guy told me that the SC3 guy told him.

That's totally bizarre because it seems to be the same exact thing happening with the Hawkwind reunion (the Chicago show was postponed to March because it had caused Dave Brock so much stress induced illness?!) Nic Turner's Space Ritual Hawkwind Assembly is playing here in like a week too.

And Goblin did add shows in Cleveland with Zombi iirc so what is going on? So much drama with these old dudes.

not reunion, US tour i mean

my friends are opening the nic turner show here on halloween.

Can someone find out why all these old dudes can't be friends long enough to rake in some $$ together?

Doesn't sound that bizarre to me, this sort of thing happens all the time with bands from Faust to Bucks Fizz.

now i'm imagining a band made up of half of Bucks Fizz and half of Faust.

Bucks Fauzt

I think this happened to Wishbone Ash and Christian Death too. When I saw them I'm sure there was 3 original members and some metal guys filling in.

when i went and saw pretty things in philly years ago i think their manager played drums? something happened to their drummer. but that's a different kind of emergency.

they should just have dueling goblins. goblin opening up for goblin.

I like the idea of multiple permutations of a band simultaneously touring the US at all times under the same name. One is awesome and pumped and one is tired and weird and there's a third one who just robs you outright...

Tangential to this thread but Robert's post has reminded me of a really weird dream I had the another night about a band called Fishbone Ash.

xpost I think that's happened with the Vulgar Boatmen, two different sympatico versions of the same band. Oh, and the Aussie/US indie band Ashtray Boy has two editions as well, to circumvent travel costs.

I think Legendary Pink Dots and King Crimson also had an agreed upon thing to have different versions of their band (?)

There are two versions of the (English) Beat in existence too, but it neatly breaks down into Dave Wakeling's lot that play in the US and Ranking Roger's band that do Europe.

I'm still puzzled why they all can't get along and play in the same version of the same band.

Not sure the two (English) Beats are allied. And there's definitely only one King Crimson, though there are bands around with ex members that play KC material. But there are plenty of feuding acts that share a catalog. Like, I dunno, Supertramp and the singer going around doing Supertramp stuff.
