livid festival
tour info
from ian potter:
i saw most of the bands set at melbourne livid on sat, but missed the
first song as i wanted to catch some of mercury rev on another stage. all i
can say is that they played '2 rights..' and 'my father my king' after whatever
they opened with. the venue was the massive indoor rod laver arena, which
was bizarre in the extreme, but mogwai
were the only band who managed to
fill the place with sound. we sat at the seats right at the very back,
facing the stage, and it sounded absolutely amazing, you could really pick
up on the subtleties of what they were doing.
from chris:
it was a nice little show they played, not as intense as the prince set days
before. the sound engineer accidentally let the volume of the between-band music
(a janes addiction cd) turn up a bit, which was a little distracting.
another f*** up...during '2 rights make 1 wrong', barry was actually singing
his part bare (rather than singing thru that vocoder setup..or whatever it
is) for a little while. 'my father my king' was brilliant as usual, and it
really proved to me that mogwai
is the sort of band that should be playing
huge arenas, the song really filled the venue better than any band i've seen
there. can't wait for the day mogwai
can pull crowds for an arena like that
(the place was pretty bare..even with the hundreds that were there).
while driving home (along the nepean hwy), my friends and i were getting
shouted-at by a bunch of drunken tourists.. who we eventually found out
were mogwai
and trail of dead, who were trying to get us to follow them to
wherever they were going. it was as exciting as it was frightening... we
ended up losing them... my buddies reckon they were trying to trick us, but
now we'll never know. at least i got to tell them (from across the
street...through a handy megaphone..long story) how fantastic the show was.
