Saw Primal Scream do their Screamadelica show on Saturday, it was awesome
did anyone else go?

i was worried it would be too retro, but they really pulled it off


the whole Friday gig was broadcast on BBC, and is probably still on their iplayer page, but found this link too

Thank you so much, Ben Glass!!

Screamadelica still resonates after all these years. I would have given my eye teeth to go see that show. This will be the next best thing. :)

Ooh I hope that show is available either online or on DVD - Screamadelica remains one of my most favorite albums and I would love to hear it performed live from beginning to end. It's so cool that you went to see such an incredible show (then again, I would have never expected you not to go! ;) )

yeah Screamadelica was a landmark for me

the box set looks cool, but it's a pity there's nothing new in the bonus material. Would have been nice to have more demo's and unremixed versions

Screamadelica is a great album but recycling again and again is just too easy !

what do you mean exactly?

Primal Scream have persevered over the years, and each album sounds totally different, a mark of which is that their OTHER best album is XTRMNTR recorded 10 years later and bearing little or no resemblance to Screamadelica


only now, on the anniversary of Screamadelica are they doing this tour, playing songs live that have never been played before, and getting more recognition than ever before

this is the first time they've even touched on being retrospective (well.. of their own stuff anyway ;) )

also if you listen to the gig you'll see the stuff is given a bit of a rework,

I saw Primal Scream once, on their XTRMNTR tour when they stopped in Los Angeles. They hadn't been to the states for a gig in years and years, so seeing them at a rather small venue in the city was special... Screamadelica and XTRMNTR are like night and day. They played 1 song off Screamadelica (Higher Than The Sun) when I saw them - and even then it felt different, since it was played in an XTRMNTR setting.

Screamadelica is a defining moment in British music history, which I think is awesome. The songs remain the same but the years have crept up on us all unfortunately, here we are 2 decades later... Yikes! I don't think the retrospective rework or playing Screamadelica live after years of the songs being shelved is necessarily easy. But I guess I'll reserve final judgment until I get home from work and hear what I downloaded this morning! :D

I mean rereleasing an old album and playing a whole show dedicated to it 20 years after just because it was good is unnecessary.

yeah, sorry about the rant, i get really passionate about Primal Scream, i think if any band can be accused of flaunting their past, it isnt Primal Scream, theyve insisted on being original, at the cost of mainstream success, throughout their carear


also, i don't begrudge them some cash, i doubt theyve made much money in the last 10 years

cool. good news :)

can't wait to get the boxset, managed to get one of that very limited edition, unfortunately not signed.

anyway, a new album would be great. and an opportunity to finally see them live.
love is all.
