We are currently being battered by storm Ciara and the lights had been flickering for most of the night. Right at the moment when I needed stability (and electricity) the most, the power went out for about 3 minutes. By the time I got back online, Walk the Fleet Road and You Are Fading were toast. Aside from that, I got everything else. If a complete recording surfaces I will of course replace this one. Really sorry about that, but we're all at the mercy of nature and right now she is extremely angry for some reason. Also, as with everything in life, nothing is for nothing. There were idents and DJ chatter at strategic points all the way through the gig, enough to interrupt the flow and obscure the intros of some tracks, but that's the cost of free entertainment I suppose. I've left them in because to remove them would be a further act of butchery towards the music. The Black Gold party rolled into Italy yesterday, and tonight the band played a show at Alcatraz in Milan. Big shout out to the I.P.K. who I know would have been in attendance. Hope you all had fun. This is the first professional recording we have of the material on offer, and it's almost like they recognised the significance because they changed things up. We've all been waiting to see what would fall away from the current running order to be replaced by something from the back catalogue, and it's now apparent that the substitution of songs has begun. Out goes ERM=BD, in comes Life is a Fear. Even on the radio, you could really get a sense of the energy in the room tonight, and everyone's playing sounded really punchy and forceful. The mix here meant that you could isolate and appreciate everything. Right at the centre of it all, Mr Smith energetically acting as the ringmaster to the dark circus of reminiscence. The drums and electronics at the start of Upside Down, Russell's bass on Violence and Sugar, Justin's guitar which was consistently ragged as hell, something which I have difficulty finding an issue with. For all those instances of pop etiquette, the vocal harmonies and the sweeping synths, there was also room for some downright filthy, feedback-covered riffs. Another piece of evidence to add to a dossier that's already pretty bullet-proof, making the case that Editors are very much a rock and roll band at heart, in spite of the criticisms that they had left that part of their personality behind them in recent years. Did you spot the reference to Dead or Alive's You Spin Me Right Round (Like a Record) in Papillon? It's still a very trippy thing to hear, because it took me back to when Tom would sing the "red rain is coming down" refrain during Spiders and "You are like a hurricane" when they played Like Treasure. I'm listening to this show now as I'm putting the words together for the post. I love that the experience I have when I hear songs like Escape the Nest is going to be a totally different one felt by those of you who discovered the band more recently. This may be your first time getting to hear them live, but as someone who heard it back in the day I have to say that they're as good now as they were then. They've managed to present it in a fresh way while retaining the utmost respect for their source material. This is not a band going through the motions to grab a paycheck, and cash in on their historical achievements.
