Spacemen 3 - Suicide (Live), First Half

[melbatunes]

consciousness change through repetition

[666oelewapper]

Geile gitaren gig!

[kecosavedi]

mia nonna mi ruba le t-shirt

[MarleyXVI]

does anyone know how he got that sound out of the guitar?

[rhessex]

@MarleyXVI I'd love to know too. Saw them in Aylesbry Civic Centre around this time (1989?) - and this song was the absolute highlight of a brillian show.

[MarleyXVI]

@rhessex I wish i could see them live, born too late :*( good thing Spiritualized still plays though

[Cartabattesasso]

junkie super beat

[Steevelink]

For the second half of the song just press F5.

They get a nice guitar sound yeah, but they could play more than 2 notes, that'd make the track WAY less boring.

[somnambler]

@Steevelink Minimalism as maximalism

[chunkyricesushi]

@Steevelink

Only 2 notes, true, but can you count the overtones?

[stratocastahguy]

the high hat

[Blogdoovian]

S3 hitting on all cylinders...there's no better way of reaching a lucid delta state.

[52Jedis]

Someone tell me why there is no more music like this. My guess is the lack of patience. No one has the patience or mental tolerance to become engrossed in the experience. Kids today want to be jerked off and then shoved out the back door of the concert venue. How can we have collective transcendental experiences when everyone wants instantaneous intravenous liquid pop fun?

[Medibisu]

@52Jedis This requires less patience for me to enjoy than the average pop song.

[sertitham]

excellent , thanx for the upload!!!!

[KaossEdgar]

O_O It's not space anymore, i've shot out of the galaxy into a freakin' god-like black hole and got my soul mushed and vomited only to be reassembled in the golden path of sonic freedom

[emptyhighways]

@KaossEdgar Beautiful man, you're a superb poet, describing the indescribable. Always glad to know there's others who know the intense ferocity of musical catharsis.

[KaossEdgar]

@emptyhighways I was really high when i wrote this just noticed now ahahahahahahahaha! Kudos! Spacemen 3 are THE description for feral musical catharsis ^_^

[Cr4zyh0rse]

Six string sex, man

[shocktk]

The godlike power of the almighty amplifier

[mishtamesh111]

breathtaking

[tjweiler1]

WOW!!!

[curryonyaface]

this makes me feel like i've smoked 20 cones

[nikldan]

Pure awesomeness!

[melbatunes]

this is heavenly noise at it's fucking finest!

[messthetics]

This still blows me away and yes props to the drummer and bassist for keeping that rhythm- it's incredible.

[CDS1983]

electricamente chimba

para un acido

[donkeysanddonuts]

i think the only way i can describe this track is electric, in every great sense of the word!

[bluemoon9uk]

the drummer is the unsung hero here..........immense effort mate. And to think he did this night after night on tour....strobetastic.

[MrJohn348]

will this be remembered as the best gig no one ever knew about? is it a work of genius or the rantings of a bunch of power obsessed junkys? brilliant

[robinmccready]

love the beat

[nikldan]

Still watching this one. All those sounds that come from that guitar must be of the diablo! Great stuff.

[Soniclife91]

true statement

[nikldan]

Saw Jason Pierce last nite with Soulsavers. He owned the show.

[bozwan]

yeah - they're cool! I have been lucky to have seen them only once when I was at Uni - don't remember much except that it was weird...the saw spectrum in 1991 (in one of their first incarnations) ...

[munkiboy03]

Sounds fucking awesome!

[araki916]

always have loved this cut. no category for this track...it has its own genre.

[RemusRomulus360]

This. Is. Music.

[neilus]

ha!!! yes, SM3 had that ability to really take you off somewhere deep inside...a bit like meditation without the effort! regarding sport,there is one that reigns supreme,above all else...CRICKET!

[neilus]

respect...i grew up in rugby with these guys...at the time we didnt really think much of them, but watching it now its fucking shocking how powerful they were live...if you had a big chunk of hash and a few beers these guys would take you somewhere special...

[Sawyer5500]

I stumbled upon this video by accident but this fucking rocks.

[archslider]

we love you spacemen 3 yeah!!!!!!!

[IcyRealmster]

Na-na-na-Na-na-na-Na-na. But it's still in 4/4.

[pinholedstars]

add another Na-na and you've got 10/8...and the beat for "15 Step"

[Slycheetah]

I've got the whole set on DVDR...was lucky enough to see these guys in a tiny club in Hull in about '89. It was a converted terrace house...they almost demolished it sonically.

[moonandantarctica2]

hahaha

"Maybe I'll upload the second half if anyone wants it?"

thanks for posting them :)

[lesvegas5]

WE know THAT music IS music

[seifiestuerfeut]

BRILLIANT!

[funandvid]

[munkiboy03]

What the fuck do you know about anything you can't even spell simple words!!

fckn waynkrr wdsoucniii

TIT!

[neilus]

Ha! Hey, I was pissed, id been reading some of the hilarious arguaments you see here that involve a)accusations of homosexuality, b)threats of imminent violence and c)slanderous comments about their mothers.

So relax...only joking.

BTW im from Rugby,was lucky enough to see these guys bombed outta my skull & paralysed by this stuff,many,many times as a teenager.

So put that in yer pipe and smoke it!!!(like we all did BITD)

[44CalibreSunlight]

LMFAO! Dude I do the exact same thing sometimes xD

[neilus]

Cheers bro, a bit of humour makes a brighter world!

BTW - im gonna kick your ass

[doggonads]

The club in Hull was the Adelphi in De Grey Steet. An awesome wall of sound was created and as loud as hell. Trippy days.

[doggonads]

I saw them there too. It was the Adelphi pub in De Grey Strret Hull.

[joecostello]

Spectrum closed their set supporting MBV last night with this and very good it was too. It didn't last 22 minutes though.

[enomisossab]

i remember my 1st s3 vinyl,it was "rollercoaster",18 mins of acid test. with few others they were the best of the 80's.

[frotnotz]

one of the best things i have ever seen in my life. i would give my left nut to have been there for this.

[mrfuku2]

that is just fucking awesome!

[tykemeawaywyou]

yep, stuff (and i mean to call it that) today doesn't compare to this.

[mrfuku2]

check out film school...i mean i agree but hideout is a killer album on par with ride, spacement 3, et. al.

[Slycheetah]

Oh I also have this full show on DVD if anyone wants it I'll send?

[KamikazyAdolfo]

Oh yeahh, please send it to me. Jus make a torrent of the dvd so everyone can download it. Thanks

[frotnotz]

i would LOVE a copy of the spaceman dvd.

[Slycheetah]

I saw them live ...small club in Hull...they took the walls off the place...everybody sat down for the first half of the set or just gawped...they had a few technical problems and it all got a bit arsey but they spat out Rollercoaster and everyone went nuts. Wish to fuck I had taped it :-(

[madbul007]

It's like walking on a glass........

best noise ever.

[psychostein]

these guys are douchalicious

[neilus]

fuck me...im an old Rugby boy, we used to take the piss cos these guys were wasted, always, all the time, severly wasted...shit why didnt i pay more attention? this is fucking awesome, cheers PK and JP x

[cheechcaballero]

These boys are, as the record notes once said, as real as life gets. Turn it up.

[pytheus77007]

Kick Assssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Slycheetah]

I've got this entire gig on DVD it's incredible...also had the good fortune of seeing Spacemen 3 live in a tiny club called The Adelphi in Hull in about 89 or 90...never forget it...I kinda agree with jdspare I now work at a sixth form college and see all the little emos bless them....they'd faint 3 songs in at a Spacemen 3 gig...probably allergic to loudness, drugs or flashing light ;-)...or genius

[jdspare]

Shows how sad music is now. Farkheads these days want "sad" music and they got it. By the time I retire those fu)( wits will be in charge. Now Im sad..........

[wheresthebeef2]

Mindgasm

[JoeThePsycoRobot]

[grenkontakt]

This is sooo cool!

[zoniggboum]

there must be a whole concert out there as it seems, not that one song, I'm sure?

[Nickthetoast]

I had to sit through a performance of 'We Will Rock You' last night. This has just cleansed my soul...

Many, many thanks for posting.

[mckluskysm]

ipnoooooticiiiiiiiiii

[SturgeonsLaw]

holy crap

GO GO GO GO GO

[signculture1]

I was sixteen and I heard this song on my mate michael Bourne's walkman. Changed my whole life from then on. only the live version man. "come on spacemen 3 play it again"

[Asillyhobo]

First and only song of Spacemen 3 i've listened to, and that automatically got me hooked

[CrokiChips]

wow klakke grave shit!

[Vonderweg]

Mesmerising...

[qiplayer]

At half of the video I watched something other but I soon returned to this. Can't stay whitout it!

[ludusagathon99]

great post! back to chucking that LOOP bloke out the studio!

[pauls72]

ROCK AND FUKIN ROLL :0)

[zarambio]

whuooooooooooooooo !!!

[AcesArtie2]

This is my soundtrack to Hard Boiled. The Miller and Darrow Graphic Novel. Each page took ten minutes to scan to take in the violence depicted. This was perfect to listen to with it.

[paulgreen5]

YEAH!! I saw the Spacemen a few times and they were astonishing. I will always remember the very fine day that they and My Bloody Valentine played the Reading Festival - I was in heaven - two of my favourites bands! One after the other!!

[tomdickhead]

mbv touring again next year!

[paulgreen5]

I REALLY REALLY can't wait to see MBV again!  The event of the decade!

[paulgreen5]

I only just found out that tickets are on sale now!!

[tomdickhead]

did you get any? they sold out in minutes and then hundreds instantly appeared on ebay

[paulgreen5]

I did get tickets. Couldn't you get one? I reckon they will add another day. Sign up to the My Space for the Valentines as they post on there if dates are added. I Hate those people who bought them up just to make a few quid on E-Bay when there are so many people who really love the band

[Popozudo]

excellent

[kenooooo]

i think my head is going to explode!!! gives a meaning to psychdelic

[jeanplumard]

Klaxons and all those new minimalist bands were surely influenced by Spacemen 3.

[SpacemanSimba]

difference is, Klaxons are shit. New rave is shit. Spacemen 3 fucking rocked.

[livetoride123]

Heavy like 'the Heads' from bristol, even remind me of Hawkwind live - dont bogart that man. Thanks brother.

[blacksundress]

Yes.

[kingrich]

[baronklimavidov]

"this is what its all about baby"

[Rile9]

The Velvet Underground.

[BlueCuraga]

Lou Reed did it...but for 64 minutes. :)

[deepoil]

Great, just wish I could see their junk...

[Lastdefender]

Speechless!
