Maida Vale 2004

Just listening to this now.

It really is the best live session that the Manics have done. Ok, so this is the Lifeblood era and this might turn off a few people but all the LB songs on this sounds sooooo beautiful. TLORN sounds mega with JDBs guitar turned up slightly louder than the record and he really hits those power chords. Plus they play TRG and Fragments (ok where was SSI!?!?)

Then you get into the other tracks with the best live version of This Is Yesterday there is. Perfect tempo. Sounds great. The best solo I've heard plus JDB really getting into it after the solo and GROWLING the next line while hitting the power chords. Love it.

This really is the perfect cold afternoon/evening winter session and reminds me of good times in December 2004 with my beautiful wife. Fucking listen to it!! (It's in S&V)

I've still got this somewhere. Although LB isn't one of my favourite albums it was a bloody good session. I still find Fragments intolerable though.

I won a competition to go to the Maida Vale gig and i think it is one of the best live sessions they have done.
James voice even sounded good on TLORN.It was a great night

Remember listening to this on the radio. Wrote to The Void on Teletext to say how brilliant it was!

Yeah, it's a fantastic session. Really does show how strong Lifeblood tracks can be live.

I remember listening to it at the time and being so incredibly excited! I almost fell down the stairs in my student house trying to get to the radio to plug my mini-disc in before it started. Good times.

Definitely. Today was definitely a "Lifeblood day". Clear, sunny but cold; exactly like it was on the day I bought the album.

I also recorded onto Minidisc - have a recorder deck to do that though. I've not listened to it in ages. I remember To Repel Ghosts standing out for me the most in that session. At least it got a radio session outing amongst the handful of tour outings.

Boring session I think, sterile. Funny how the tour has stirred up all this widespread love for LB on here.

it's because Lifeblood has some good songs on it. Doesn't quite work as a complete album, too mellow, but doesn't stop the songs being good.

They gave us Empty Souls and we've got all GIDDYEXCITED because of their decision to acknowledge the Glorious Lifeblood live again!

*shakes heads*

When its all over everyone will look back and realise that actually LB was their 2nd best album. I don't really know why I have so much love for LB - maybe its the memories of the time or I actually just quite like the aesthetic of the album. I prob listen to LB more than HB or JFPL.
