Slowdive - Machine Gun live Toronto 1994

[americandiscocrash]

i saw this tour. when they played los angeles at the roxy, they had some dude running videos behind them, a collage of star wars clips, exercise videos with weird trails in the motions, and other stuff that was oddly synced to the music. if anyone knows who was making the video collage, please respond. was it only in los angeles? did they have it at the toronto show? it made the show extra awesome.

@Cruzman3609 go fuck yourself

[cbhendrix92]

The most beautiful band ever to exist.

This song makes me cry...

[dirul]

..feedback..feedback.. guitars start.. rachel smiles.. *bliss*

[weezadam]

never lose hope! it's not outside the realm of possibility. First MBV, maybe Ride, and just maybe, Slowdive

[weezadam]

If Ride ever reforms, there's a chance Slowdive will come back as well. MBV recently did it. It's only a matter of time...

[foxystoat69]

@weezadam Great idea weezadam, think more likelihood of a Ride reunion, Rachel was on Facebook while back, her hearing is all fooked up (all those live gigs took its toll), she's not sure she could hack the noise again, real pity.

Would love a Ride reunion :-)

Chapterhouse gigs last year were good :-)

[KayaLaoise]

saw them 1993 at berlin...so sad they don't excist anymore, but there music is still great! awesome

[Pizbot]

I am a die hard Slowdive fan and sadlt never saw them live (was too young), I do however hav this video in its entireity and two others. Let me know if you want a copy.

[bigpipestyle]

I was only four years old in 1994, but I still love this.

[weezadam]

rachel is hands down one of the most beautiful women I've ever laid eyes on

[bjamon12]

Just... Plain... Solid.... Long live SlowDive, any may new bands take note

[SimMaster]

that sounds like Brian Eno's song "An Ending (Ascent)" at the beginning.. is it?

[Animatronica]

@SimMaster Yeah it does. My thoughts exactly.

[maskedcrusader]

I love this song. I'm really getting into this band. In some ways I find it superior to MBV.

[hydra]

@maskedcrusader so do i.

[just888another888ide]

please Please don't ever delete this video... please... thank u so much...

[everuck]

Today music needs you, slowdive

[PimSteinmann]

I'm so sad I won't ever get to experience this song live :(

[indoabsorto]

destructora...segunda song del Souvlaki!

[machineguns0]

love this song !

i choose it for my name !

[virtualmartyr]

YAY...I was at this show! Slowdive is magical!!!

[davidsanchezvasquez]

do you have for any reason the ticket of this show? I am doing a Slowdive gigography project and looking for any info about every concert they gave, thanks!

[synkciu]

yep magic show, BUT why does she sing the melody differently? it's much higher on the record...

[Alfisus]

yeah... thats true.... i was thinking the same... :( its pretty bad when u hear an artist that sings lower than the original song.... maybe an studio trick?

[ToyBoxMonster]

@Alfisus Unlikely. There are several layers of vocals on Slowdive recordings. She's just singing one of them. Another explanation could simply have been that she couldn't hear herself...Slowdive was one loud band.

[XxsilentninjaxX]

I have noticed that also. I like the live version more though.. She sings like this on all the live versions of this song.

[loveandcapture]

actually - the melody she sings on this live performance IS present on the studio recording, it's just mixed lower than the higher melody. . .listen, it's there. i actually prefer the vocals her to the studio version (if i had to choose, that is)

[rekluziv]

Gosh, I'm glad this live performance is still here. This track actually manages to sound just as good live, but chillier and breezier than the album version.

[kroovypop]

Fantastic
