I'm getting primed by watching this and heading out to the Austin show in a couple of hours. SO FUCKING GOOD. Daniel Ash is a my hero! Last saw them at a dive bar in Austin in 86. I'm so excited...!
I'm still buzzing from their Minneapolis show a few weeks before this. They're definitely a band that stood the test of time and left their own originalt mark in rock music history.
I was once an ultra blessed and humble and star-struck host to Daniel Ash when he DJd @ Reds Cafè in Santa Barbara CA W T F I was dazed and overcome by the encounter WHOH A REAL ROCKSTAR whom I was deeply affected by, walked in to my place of work, haloed by sunlight, chill and cool as lightning as he entered my life and I reeled in astonishment. ❤

First show I ever saw, Love & Rockets, May 1988, in Berkeley, CA. Saw them again, May 2023, in Oakland, CA. Only took 35 years. But damn, it was worth the wait.

Anyone know the track name or which album the song at 47:00 was on? Lucky to have seen them at Cruel world fest and now in LA with this almost identical set. So inspiring to see them still doing so well.
Unfortunately, this is happening more often at live shows today, especially with bands from the 70s and 80s. Saw Depeche Mode, The Psychedelic Furs, Squeeze and L&R this past summer and none of them deviated from the same setlist all summer long. I think it has something to do with keeping the backing track in sync and consistent from city to city (less chance for errors) I hate to say it, but some bands overly rely on playing alongside backing tracks during live shows these days (keyboard and drum tracks - along with background vocals - are especially easy to prerecord and play alongside to) Fortunately, there are still some bands out there rotating setlists (The Cure comes to mind) but I hear ya. Playing the exact same thing from city to city is not only redundant and mundane, it’s also a bit suspect IMO.
very cool that you got to see a lot of those bands too, I'm with you fortunately on the west coast (Portland/Seattle) got to see DM, The Cure (TWICE!!!) the Furs and Squeeze, Love and Rockets, Clan of Xymox (if you know, you know..) this last year was great for rock too, Tool and Ministry, NIN came around again, Rob Zombie, so many excellent acts, but it does make sense what you're saying about it being easier for all these bands to stick to a single setlist all thru the tour.. it made me appreciate seeing the variances in the Cure's setlist because each night they played for three hours.. absolutely mind blowing. @@dburt0021
@@NoName-bl5sr Hrm, I was afraid you'd say that. I took a look at Ticket chart yesterday around 2 p.m. and it showed tons of tickets still available. I'm not schlepping into NYC much or at all from LI lately, and the good seats seemed very high to me, in some cases. I really had meant to attend. I don't love the nabe where Kings is, and I hear parking is bad, but I usually find parking in Brooklyn or Queens, so whatever. Looks like the show was great, of course. I would have gone for the pit tix if I did attend, why not?
@N. D. I saw them in Seattle, and many people were surprised when I saw L&R. Quite a few regretted they didn't know about the show. Promotion for the show was non-existent aside from what hard-core fans who follow them on social media saw. I think...
Not sure if it has to do with it but this day NYC had the worst of the Canadian wildfire smoke, on top of why NYC is normally like I imagine the air was brutal.
