Influential British shoegaze band Ride broke up in 1996 and have recently announced their reunion -- a special performance at Coachella. Watch / Listen to the full session here: www.kcrw.com/music/shows/morni...
This is a wonderful coincidence! I just wrote of how I studied the drum performance on Dreams Burn Down, and here on another masterpiece of the Ride collection they are even more evident. Easy to get lost in the twin guitars singing to one another and what makes this possible is the drummer. He is truly a star of the scene and of any scene, really. Want to bring waking dreams to life? Listen to Ride, and man did thiey ever capture the advance of their sound with this KEPX live its the studio. Drums make a song.
@@josyposy1626 having played on 4 no 1, albums, 6 million record sales, he looks like he has been playing a month so so so simple, any one can play drums like that....
Fucking Epic. This song made me feel better than any drug ever did. I was never able to keep my hand off the volume knob....I'd just keep cranking it up until the amps started clipping.
one of the best bands that ever came out of my generation of indie back in the early 90's. so happy they have reforemed and their new album is unfuckingreal. amazing musicians and song writers
I'm so pleased that they still sound so amazing. Their 1992 Brixton Academy performance of this song is one of my favorite live performances of all time, and this is on par with that performance. Just lovely. Unfortunately I wasn't born yet when that performance took place, so I'm flying across the country to see them this summer, and it seems it'll be well worth it!
***** I agree on Brixton. One of the best concert films of all time. Great sound, camerawork and vibe, and one of the biggest sounding songs ever recorded.
Very grateful to KCRW for letting us see our favourite songs played live. As an amateur musician it's really interesting and helpful to see how a song is actually played. I've watched this several times before, but only this time noticed that Steve plays some of his bass parts with his plectrum, but the end bit with his fingers. I'm hoping to get a bass to give it a go at some point. As a guitar player, I could've done with the camera set up to see what Andy was playing towards the beginning. Great shots of Loz's drumming, I've always loved that bit where the drums kick in after the keyboard sample. So it was great to see how he plays it. It's almost like we could do with a split screen with each musician to follow their parts.
great to see these guys back.Influenced my music taste and instrument playing so much from the age of 16. This makes me feel young again, Nowhere is a kick ass debut ablumn only outdone by their 4 previous eps. Ground breaking influential band, i look forward to seeing thrm ireland this summer.
Just saw them in Toronto 2 days ago and they sounded so fantastic. You should break laws to get to one of their concerts this summer. I've seen My Bloody Valentine twice and this concert was 5x as good.
First time I saw Ride live at First Avenue in MPLS the sound was swirling around the venue in a circular way and I thought I’d gone to heaven. I still don’t know how to describe this music to friends who don’t get it. Shoegaze just doesn’t describe it. Long live Andy Bell.
saw them in Lyon tonight and this studio version can't touch the live one they put out.. but Drive Blind's 10 minute sonic wave effect stunned the crowd into amazement.. never heard such a thing by any other band.. it was on another plane
Still cool after all these years!I played this song over and over when I graduated college....an emotional epic killer of a song....the bass line has always given me chills!
saw them live in SF this week and they were ferocious, everyone. i love kcrw gigs but i'd say this performance is before they've properly woken up and had a cup of tea, sort of a laid back early morning run-through-the-songs ride.
Yeah he doesn't look great eh, but some people lose their hair and we all put on a bit of weight. I remember the joint gig they did with the Charlatans with Tim Burgess and Mark from Ride on the front cover of the NME and they both looked super fucking cool....When we ALL had long hair.....
@@davidarmstrong1666 If you watch some more recent videos, he has actually lost weight and is in better shape. As for the hair, it happens to a lot of people, not a big deal.
Making me wanna build myself a studio in my garden and teach myself to play every part! Inspiring to even an ol' middle-aged bird having a mid life crisis (presuming I make it to 94 that is!! Which is highly doubtful the way I'm going!)
Needed more jangle in there. Mark had the fuzz going but no jangling. Otherwise, my fave band of all time. Caught them live in 92 as part of the Going Blank Again tour in Sydney. I will never forget it.
Rideeee !! yesss! but got to agree about the overall live mix...its make no justice to the volatile and sophisticated sound of a band like Ride. But anyways, its a great pleasure to watch they live !!!!!!
+ian Stewart .I TOTALLY AGREE..there was a snippet where they all looked like the music was playing through them..vessels....spinetingling joy to see those moments
Indeed. They really are an in sync bunch; loving what they do. One of the best live bands I have seen and their albums still on regular rotation after 20 odd years.
i think thats a Jazz master american blue headstock well metallic blue anyways mine got stolen from in 94 how funny it would be if Mr. Gardners was the same one uhh getting sick to my stomach thinking about it took me 8 months saving for that beauty
it's missing that undercurrent in the beginning. this is not messy and fuzzy, but he'll, this ain't bad. this is isn't embarrassing. this is ride in form.
